Obviously the Pacers have had a dreadful schedule up till now.

Saying russ has a long history of meltdown looks more like a case of confirmation bias. OKC has a history of doing pretty well in the playoffs and he used to spearhead those teams along with KD. They couldn't get passed the not-exactly-great-Grizzlies the year he went down and he was one of the main reasons they were up 3-1 in the first place against GSW in 2016.

Sure they didn't make it out of the first round the last two seasons, but it wasn't exactly like they were powerhouses on the verge of winning it all. They barely got in the first year (almost entirely thanks to westbrook) and had to drag along the corpse of melo in the second year.

I'm not saying he's never at fault and obviously he's the most frustrating player on the team at times, but acting like he's a detriment to the team or even a negative player is ridicuruss.

What's the rule this year for the all star game? Fan votes determine the pool of players that the captains get to pick from?

Klay going to make it despite not being good again, is he?

Fans determine the starters. Coach fills out the bench. Commissioner does injury replacements. if nothing has changed

Same as the last few years.

Fan vote is for starters only and worth only 50%.

So, Rose and Wade aren't making it.

Klay won't be an All Star unless something dramatic happens in the next month (injuries/form).

Justin Holiday to Memphis for 2nd round picks, MarShon Brooks, and Seldon. I think the Bulls SHOULD have gotten more. JH makes only 4.4M this season so he was very easy to trade. The downside is he is an UFA next season. I guess the Bulls thought he was too old for their timeline (29). Holiday is a good wing defender and can hit 3's (36% on 7 per game). Wish a better team made a move for him.

I like Holiday but don't really know anything about Brooks and Seldon. 2nd rd picks are almost trash. Thought the Grizz did well.

Brogdan is a no one.

It would be a no brainer for the Bucks to trade him for Bledsoe. And I dont even think Bledsoe is that good.

Second round picks are trash unless they aren’t. Giving them up for a 29 year old when your ceiling is maaaaybe an eight slot in the West is the kind of crap that got them into this mess to begin with. Memphis has been god-awful with their drafting when they aren’t giving the picks away for the likes of Courtney Lee and Jeff Green.
