I feel like the Mavs paid full price for KP, rather than post-ACL tear and haven't played a game this year KP. The fit on the Mavs is great, though.

Can so many good players stop going to the Western Conference?

And it should be noted that even though Porzingis' numbers went up year after year in his 1st 3 years in the league the number of games played went down consistently too. He went from 72 games as a rookie to 66 to 48 to possibly zero this year. Statistically speaking that doesn't look good for a player of his height. Don't get me wrong. I really like Porzingis and the Doncic-Porzingis duo has the potential to be epic but there are red flags for sure. Also, the league has been moving towards "small ball" more and more the last couple of years. Porzingis had the required athleticism to play in those lineups as a center even though he is huge. We will have to wait and see if that is still true.

Welp with report of Kristaps already being cleared to play and that the Knicks were sitting him to improve their tank. This is just another case of blame the Knicks, not the players.

I feel like Adam Silver adding Wade and Nowitzki to the all star game is extremely disrespectful towards Manu. Did they have better NBA careers than Manu? Maybe but we are talking about all hall of famers here and Manu got more votes last season than Wade and Nowitzki combined now. For what's mroe, Nowitzk is hardly a bench warmer these days.
Just wanted to take that off my chest somewhere, LOL.

How the turn tables. Guess the Mavs wants to keep their pick this year.

Maybe, it makes no sense for them not to tank. Porzingis being reportedly injured is the perfect excuse. 31 games left. They got some good tanking work to do. The odds of them retaining the pick are not so good right now but if they keep losing who knows.

Gobert in 28 minutes, 25/13/1/2 on 100% fg.
Fuck these NBA players below me, lost a whole lot of respect for these guys:

You had respect for Draymond?
To be honest Gobert deserved to be an All star 100%, but the way Utah are clamoring for it is absolutely embarrassing. There were other players that got snubbed too, but they aren’t going about it the way Utah and Gobert are. They’re literally trying to change the entire voting process for ONE guy.

Only thing that Manu has on them is rings , but that's a team thing unless your Jordan.

Well, Manu had some very solid years and was pretty damn good in the finals that Spurs won against Pistons. Also he had impressive achievements outside of the NBA. He won as much as possible before joining the Spurs and he also made things never seen before with the Argentinian national team. He took them to a world cup final and he won the gold medal in Athens beating the dream team.
Also, he had almost $2M votes last season. Think Wade and Dirk combined didn't get to $1.5M this year. All-star voting changed last year. If it wasn't for that he would have been a starter in the West. Think the same happened with Wade this year with lot less votes.
And Manu has one of the highest winning %s in NBA history. Fact is he could have had better stats throughout his career but he only cared about winning.

Oh i think its BS Dirk and Wade made the allstar game but its a money move for the NBA is all. We all can agree Dirk or Wade sell more merchandise and tickets then Manu just by name.

The only reason Vince Carter isn't in this year's all-star game is cause he's going to be playing another 10 years, they're waiting until then.

But like i said i love Ginobli not trying to say he didnt deserve a allstar bid, just saying he is below both wade and dirk in all time rankings in my book.

So many trades the day before deadline! Hopefully, there are more to come.
Also, LOL at the whole Lakers team except for Lebron that are currently upset for being offered for Davis. At least, they are not Barnes.

At least, they are not Barnes. Barnes knew he was about to be in the frameworks in a trade to the kings, yet decided to still play and sit it out. Shame the trade agreement got leaked out by someone on the kings.
