I bet Kings fans aren't too happy right now. both Sabonis and Fox getting snubbed just sucks for them.

agreed. but his value is actually probably less than it was last year. he doesn't seem to really be getting much better on offense and when he actually plays center he's a little too weak. he has to play the 4 and you have to have a stretch 5 next to him to maximize him. that limits the teams that can make him work. i wonder what his value is right now. he's young enough that teams will hope they can still develop him but it may not be this great haul.

I agree with your evaluation of Mobley. tho, he still has a ton of value to rebuilding teams imo.
whats really killing the Cavs path to contention is the lack of Mitchells commitment to them. If he would extend, I could see them trading Garland. But it seems that this isn't going to happen.

Interestingly, I wouldn’t say any player in the league has actually been snubbed in the all star selections. It all seems very accurate at first glance.

Could make the argument that Sabonis and Fox should have made it above Curry, AD, and Towns

Yeah but it’s Fox really better than Curry? All of these guys are deserving.

No way a .500 team gets 2 All Stars. I don't care if it's AD, he didn't generate enough wins for his team this year. And they have Lebron. And the overrated Reaves. That's a solid "Big 3" that has been healthy for the most part this season.

I think they should keep Garland. Their frontcourt seemed like their biggest issue in the series last year.

Mobley for Mikal Bridges is a trade that may make sense for both teams.

Idk if it’s been mentioned but with the Embiid injury doesn’t it make even more sense now to make a trade?

Bruh the east is wide open!

I don’t know how anyone watched Mobley and thought he was the next Tim Duncan. Solid player but should’ve never gotten that type of hype

Yeah, agreed.

I mean, has he really improved much since he's been drafted? He's really just living of potential now.

If you took Donovan Mitchell off the Cavs they’d be a lottery team

but the all star game isnt about who's better, it's about who the fans want to see and who's gonna generate the most engagement, and currently bron and steph are miles above everyone else in the league at that

Good move by the Rockets. Got Adams on the cheap....not sure what Memphis was thinking....Adams has had some injury trouble lately but he is not generally that injury prone.....and is only 30 years old.

Return to New York Knicks
