It is truly shitty of the league to not televise the all star draft.

Your success in that draft would be random too, just like it is during collegiate drafts.

Add Oladipo to the growing list of players better than Paul George.

Congrats to Buckets. Didn't know he had it in him. Still not better than PG 13. The world will realize that very soon.

For the record I be wrong on this here All Star thing.

Come on. You really think george is STILL better than Butler? You’re thinking too much of pre injury PG. We aren’t seeing that guy again

Farvio you may want to take a closer look. George is a superior defender and shooter. Shooting about 43 to 44 % from 3 and giving you close to Butler numbers as a 2nd option that they don't run plays for. He is playing with the league's leading ball stopper and still giving you about 21 per game.

He hasn't been that bad and is beginning to turn it on.

He basically has reinvented himself as a catch and shoot because he is playing with Westbrook. Butler has had a slightly better year to date but they are a little closer than you might think.

He wasn't better last year even when he was the primary option. I like PG13 a lot but he always leaves you wanting more.

Before the injury he was phenomenal. Looked like he was gonna be a worthy East rival to LeBron possibly.

Like ltg mentioned I’ll give him credit for reinventing his game a bit this year but he’s not Jimmy.

Right. It’s the rare bad decision that pisses off the fans AND costs the league money. Makes no sense unless the player union went hard against it behind the scenes.

I saw something where he came to Billy Donovan shortly after the trade and essentially told him that he didn't need to run any sets for him. Told Donovan that he knew how to get his in the flow. Don't worry it. Rare to see a guy do that in today's game. Usually see guys tell the coach that they need more "isos" called for them.

Great teammate. He's a Scottie though. I want a guy like Marshmelo or Westbrook who are selfish.

Congrats to Buckets. He deserved to make the team. No doubt about it.

I had Kat to make it but too but his wasn't a slam dunk. Jimmy Butler was a no doubter for about the past 6-8 weeks.

I didn't have him making it in the West.

It’s insane how loaded the Western conference is. You could pretty much make a weak second all star team from the snubs.

Starters

Chris Paul
Lou Williams
Paul George
Blake Griffin
Marc Gasol

Bench

Devin Booker
CJ McCollum
Donovan Mitchell
Nikola Jokic
Clint Capela
Tyreke Evans
Stephen Adams

After typing this out I guess it’s not quite an entire team :lol:

No Paul. No Leonard. No Blake. All injured for a great part of the year . We could make excuses but we're bigger than that :lol: :lol:

LaMarcus Aldridge got a little fucked this year. He’s been better than Cousins and AD this year. His team is better despite not having a teammate even close to as good as either of those guys. Shameful.

Interesting note I just read - first time since 2009 the Bulls haven’t had an All Star on the team. I guess it hasn’t been quite as bad as guys like vegan say the past 6-7 years.

I swear I'm not hating on Embiid when i ask this... but ltg, if you were Embiid's teammate, a guy like Covington, would you be annoyed that he's playing in an exhibition All Star game but can't even get cleared to play back to back games yet? I honestly think I would.

George really should be on the team over Green this year. Green's in the team purely on reputation rather than how he's been playing. I think a good argument could be made for Paul over Klay as well, but at least Klay's been having a good season and Paul's missed so many games.

Draymond is having just as good of a season as last year, if not better.

If you had to remove one Warrior, it should be Thompson.
