Mailbag: Draymond Green's value, the leading MVP candidates and more /

In this week's Twitter mailbag, Chris Mannix dives into a host of NBA topics, including...

  • Do the Pistons have a shot at landing Draymond Green? After improving his offensive game, Green will command big money.
  • Who are the top three players in this year's MVP race? The answer here fluctuates week to week, so who tips the scales right now?
  • Can Nerlens Noel truly be a starting center in the NBA? Will the 76ers look to build their future around Noel and Joel Embiid?
  • What happens if the Warriors lose to the Thunder in the first round? Don't expect Steve Kerr to start rebuilding his roster.
