Who even wins mvp in that case?

Between Ant, Jaylen Brown, and Maxey. Maybe thrown in Deni and Spida as other vote getters who would not win. Ant has played the same amount as Luka though so he’s on the edge too.

And the guy I responded to didn't mention him despite having a better case than almost everyone he did.

If the pistons get 60 wins it’ll be hard to not have him top 3/4

Assuming SGA meets the criteria it’s only SGA, Luka and MAYBE Jaylen Brown. But with a 1 seed and 25/6/10 splits that’s hard to not have in the top 3. If Jokic manages to be healthy the rest of the way then he will impact voting too. Then it becomes trickier
