The real NBA MVPs for each team

I was thinking over the weekend who was more important to OKC, Westbrook or Durant. And then I tried to think who was most important to the Spurs, and couldn't decide between Duncan or Parker or ... And I keep on hearing that the Warriors won't go far without Bogut, kind of thing.

So, if you think about the MVP being the player whose absence would hurt the team the most, who do you think are the REAL MVPs for the various teams?

Curry for the Warriors and Anthony for the Knicks, sure, but what about Spurs? Hawks? Heat? Etc

Parker is no where near the most important spurs player that is surely Kawhi Leonard they struggled without him and in only 2 games back you can see the impact he has on both sides of the ball.

Warriors had their best streak without Bogut. Curry is the main man at GSW.

Could argue that Anthony is more detrimental to a team (maybe not to that extent though).

Can't ignore LBJ. The cavs are pretty ordinary without him. Durant and Westbrook are both powerhouses. They were bottom of the ladder when both were out but I think Durant is the main difference. Marc Gasol and Anthony Davis would be my main contenders too.

Imagine if Westbrook and Durant swapped personalities. They'd both be better off.

Such a shame...

Leonard at Spurs, Curry at Warriors, Bosh at Heat, etc.

Al Horford for the Hawks would be in the mix too

"Anthony at the Knicks" as an MVP? Team is 5-30 when he plays this season.... That's not MVP level

Leonard @ Spurs...it's been said a bunch of times that while he may not currently be their best player, he is their most important one.

Millsap or Holford @ Hawks...each one is underrated

Wade @ Heat...Bosh isn't exactly a powerhouse and they'll only go as far as Wade can take them, even as a shell of his former self.

Heat have never lost when Bosh tops 30.

I'd personally say Paul George makes the most difference to his team's chances of winning with him vs without him.

I'm sick of the haters.

Warriors - Bogut
Jazz - Ingles or Exum (could easily have been Motum)
Cavs - Dellavedova
Bulls - Bairstow
Spurs - Mills or Baynes
Thunder - Adams
Knicks - Simmons once they draft him number 1
