I think it is absolutely possible and, in fact, likely that Doncic wants out of Dallas in the future. Dallas is botching their efforts to surround him with winning talent. They screwed up Brunson. They traded away their best defenders to get Irving, who will likely leave them in the offseason or...

Guess we really are turning into California

It means that if picking a player for a given series, you're at least at the level of someone who made those teams at your position. Joe Johnson was a 7 time all star. Is Jamal Murray worse than him in a 7 game series? I think not. Same for Khris Middleton, Jrue Holiday, Manu. They didn't put up...

PLEASE stop being so stupid. The bigger creator analogy was to compare Scoot and Lamelo, in terms of should CHA kick LaMelo to the curb for Scoot, as rascal suggested. Please try to follow the thread of the discussion.

100%. Khris Middleton is a 3 time all star (2019, 2020 and 2022) and Jrue Holiday is a 2 time all star caliber player. Jamal Murray is coming off a very long injury and just now is getting back from his former self after the bubble run, but there's no doubt he's an all star (I'd say all NBA)...

If it's so clear, then give me the definition of "All Star caliber NBA player".

how is he a creator?

I think this draft is going to be pretty crazy I see a lot of teams wanting to make moves; 1. Charlotte has worked out almost have lottery candidates and some possibly showing signs they might be open to trading pick 2. Boston has almost worked out every first round potential player including...

I have a hard time believing you can't find any non-shitty bars even in the Lewisville area, but I guess I don't know what your standard is. What kind of bars do other cities have that DFW is lacking? Smoking is banned indoors in almost every area of DFW now. I think there might be some holdout...

Miller. Or trade down if you don't like him, and pick up a few more assets. He's a 6'9" sharpshooter and pretty elite defender. You don't have to worry about his 38% 3s or 86% FTs. He's going to be a very good NBA shooter.

I think the concept is clear and you’re just migrating into sophistry.

Now you're getting into a gray area by using the word 'caliber'. What does that even mean? You're either an All Star, elected by the fans, or named as a reserve or injury replacement, or you're not.

who would they be drafting instead of Henderson? who is this mystery "bigger creator" they should be taking at #2? amen? thought you hated him too

Do you repeat this to yourself every time you visit a forum?

It’s not a sure thing. To throw numbers out there, maybe it’s 40% for Sochan, 20% for Vassell, and 10% for Wesley, just for arguments’ sake. That leaves a 44% chance that there’s nobody on the roster who will get there. So if you’re Brian Wright, you still need to be swinging.

Neither can Duncan Robinson and he has played a huge role for the Heat in their finals run this season

i was surprised to learn this was a thing. CA doesnt have them. when i moved to VA, i didnt realize it was a thing here for a long time. saw cars with stickers on the windshield but assumed they were parking passes or somethin, never really paid attention :lol went nearly a year before realizing...

very Duncan like

Michael Beasley was not already an AS PG for Chicago. LaMelo IS already an AS PG for Charlotte. Terrible analogy, anyway. Beasley isn't a creator, he's a black hole chucker. Please try to stay on track with the topic being discussed, which is "should Charlotte draft Scoot when they already...

I mean, what the hell are we even talking about? You want to dismiss the talented young players we have and then say that All-Star is some nebulous category? I'm not even sure what the point is here.

And it’s just blatant disingenuous misrepresentative cherry-picking to claim that Khris Middleton or Jamal Murray are not All-Star-caliber players.
