Yeah. I'm a dumbass for thinking you would have anything constructive or somewhat educated to contribute. Everytime I try to be the bigger man and communicate kindly you act out like a petulant child, then spew out chicken shite quips trying to drag me down in the gutter with you. You are just toxic ...

[quote]No, you threw an arbitrary number out and are now trying to reverse engineer it[/quote] This is somewhat true. I just picked out a number. Looking at it, I probably overshot and he chances are a bit lower. [quote]additionally All Star nods are about wins…see Klay and Dray, the Hawks in...

[quote]Less than a 50/50 shot? How are you calculating these odds?[/quote] I am just using logic. With Zion back and the McCollum addition, he is going to have less touches and his scoring will be down. He should be in that 20ppg range. Going to be difficult to be an allstar, unless his defense b...

[quote]So, would you trade Brown and Tatum for Luka?[/quote] Mavs wouldn't do it....

[quote]you don't know why we use All Star to describe Zion despite it fitting the criteria you set forth?[/quote] Zion is the only one it might fit. He has the best chance to an all star again. Ingram has a less than 50/50 shot to be an allstar this year and he hasn't been one the past two se...

[quote]As the ever growing number of posters point out, you’re either a troll, completely obtuse in terms of following the NBA, mentally challenged, or a combination of the three.[/quote] I am over 11 years on the board and have been the same the whole time. Little cliques and groups come and go....

[quote]most cases, if you’ve been an All Star, you are referred to one as long as you’re still playing well. [/quote] There you go. That's what I was looking for. I guess that is somewhat fair. I appreciate that response. [quote]How much do you actually follow basketball, besides just posting...

I am not the one trying to create a debate. I asked how long a player is considered an all star. That applies to Ingram, McCollum and Zion. You joined in to knight for your favorite player and try to cast me as taregting him. When I've done no such thing. But you'll just ignore all this and jump...

[quote]Only worse contract than this is Bradley Beal.[/quote] Lillard. He is scheduled to make over 200M over the next 4 years then has a 5th year player option of 63M. He is 3 years older than Beal.. ...

[quote]The only reason Ingram missed All NBA and All Star was injuries last year. [/quote] Same with Kawhi Leonard. ...

[quote]So if healthy, you question if Zion will be a perennial all star? [/quote] I just know that he and Ingram were not All Stars last year. Ingram wasn't one the year before either. I don't know people keep using the term "All Star" to describe guys that weren't that last season or ever. ...

[quote]So Zion and BI?[/quote] Sure. I guess. I really don't know the rules of that. I am pretty sure Ingram might make another one. I just dont know how long a player gets to keep the label.....

[quote]Those are All Stars. [/quote] I think All Stars are guys that have been on an all star team and pretty recently, within a season or two.....

[quote]Let’s keep our three All Stars[/quote] How does this title work? Do you actually have to make it that season or have ever been in it at all? Can Brook Lopez call himself an all star?...

[quote]KD retiring to break his contract and come here without us giving up assets is the only way he joins this team. You should be happy, what you want might happen if that occurs But we're not trading anything for him. [/quote] I don't want Durant. I just acknowledge that he would make us bet...

I don't know if international play is the best way to improve. Shaky competition, different rules in hectic environments. I think players are better training closer to the teams or in organized get togethes like Ingram put together.....

I saw a report this morning that Durant is considering retirement, if he's not traded. Nets might call his bluff.....

International game play by pros is weird to me. I guess it helps stay in shape and promote your brand. But there is an injury risk and they aren't really compensated. Val makes 15M a year. Why would a country get his time for relative free? The Olympics are the biggest example of this, it rakes in b...

[quote]Not only is this a horrible take, you don't even know how the current system works [/quote] Then contribute and educate, not just make snippy comments. All the divisions are dumb. for some reason it's not fair for a guy at 130 to fight someone at who weighs 154 (3 weight classes inbet...

[quote]Thats crazy talk.[/quote] Is it? I just don't think it matters under 150 or over 225ish. Maybe 4 is too few, 5 or 6 should be enough. Under 150 151-175 176-200 201-225 226 and above Weigh ins should be a week out and the day of the event. I don't think it's necessary to add more...
