Wade was in for Olidipo, right? Was there a Western player hurt too, that allowed Dirk in?
Oh you know it will.

Well if you had to pick two out of the three...
Total WWF stuff.
Disgusting. Someone updated his Wikipedia and it says 14x all star now.... Duncan worked for all 15 of his. this
That cancerous piece of Kobe got 3 non deserving All star appearances as well when he was a TOSB
I don't understand the outrage..
The type of person who cares about watching the ASG will want to see Wade in it, that's all that matters..and like Fkla said, the only reason Dirk is getting in is because they don't want LeBron's influence to look too obvious
The ASG is for kids, it's unwatchable..
They should make it for players that retired the previous year like Manu. Another better option would be allowing each team to pick a 10 year vet of their choice as their mascot.I don't understand the outrage..

He didn't. What's funny to me is everyone assumes it's his last year because he sucks so hard and looks so done. Kinda embarrassing, tbh.
Makes me thankful Duncan and Ginobili went out while they were still good players and their dignities were intact.
Should have gone to Gobert. I just don't want to see a big man cry

Everyone laughing at the Knicks for trading KP to get salary cap relief, when the Lakers traded an All Star to dump Mozgov
Gaymond calling him out is so ironic.Should have gone to Gobert. I just don't want to see a big man cry

All star game appearances should be an honor of respect to those deserving of the recognition, not some trivial garbage tossed out to has-beens as a token to placate the masses. The dignity of sport and compe ion is lost otherwise.
But hey, this is the society we live in today. Everybody expects, cries for, and usually gets a smiley face on any work they turn in. A ribbon or medal to appease those who lose. Winning has become diluted by mediocrity.
American injenuity, perseverance, and tough, hard-nosed ideology has given way to sniveling pansies who can not distinguish the difference between en lement and accomplishment.
High school coaches are getting fired for having basketball players score too much against the other team due to an uproar from those who idolize Nykesha Sales and her record breaking shot...err..mulligan, or Michael Strahan's colluded, bogus sack record via help from Brett Favre.
We have become a nation of bleeding heart pansies. I could go on and on, but I have to go watch a riveting game of t-ball where nobody keeps score. But hey, it's all good, nobody ever loses.
Funny, we wonder why young people can't cope with losing. They are never forced to learn how to do so.
Gaymond calling him out is so ironic.
Fortune favors the bold. Regardless of the price Dallas paid imo it’s the proper swing to take if you care about your franchise trying to win. There are no guarantees obviously but this was a worthwhile gamble.
Spurs misreading the CP3 market so badly resulting in Paus deal is a worse gamble than this. The objective is to win and with a guaranteed stud in Luka on a rookie scale deal now is the exact time to take risks imo.
package demar, rudy, forbes, and la together... fine with keeping gasol until next year, his contract will have more value then.
That is false. Gasols contract is at peak value now. It becomes way less valuable and difficult to move after this deadline.
I
Hindsight is 20/20, but I’m cool paying Pau $6mm AND getting Gay as opposed to paying CP3 $41mm a year on average for the next three. That’s $6-$7mm less than DDR and Aldridge combined.
Likely couldn’t get Gay with CP3 as they would have had to operate under the cap and a lower MLE, though Houston made it work with him opting in and completing before July 1.
That doesn’t excuse the Pau deal one bit, as it was a complete misread of the market and he’s not a guy who can be on the floor against GS. If you can’t play against the team to beat, you have no business making 8 figures.
CP3 is done and Houston will still be paying for him. And he could’ve curtained White’s development. I’m glad we didn’t chase him. Rose could’ve help with the minimum though.
Jrue Holiday for Demar Derozen. Who says no?
You are absolutely correct, we wouldn't have Gay if we had gotten Paul. In hindsight, it's pretty clear that the Spurs made a wink-wink nudge-nudge deal with Pau that summer - if he opted out, he would get a contract worth at least the full MLE value ~$39M over 4 years. As we didn't get Paul, he got $16, $16.8, $16 ($6.3 guaranteed), which assuming we waive him this coming summer is $39.1M... To give him that money if we got Paul, we would have had to us the full MLE on him.
Both Pelicans and Spurs.
Demar doesn't do anything for the Pels (assuming Davis and Holiday are gone) & Holiday is local, liked, and cheaper... As it stands, they are tanking again.
There is no fit with SAS, as this makes their roster overload at the 1 - 2 even worse, while making 3 a bigger hole... SAS isn't in Lux tax trouble if they keep Demar, so there is very little point to such a trade.
I agree about CP3 - was talking more of the gamble aspect. Was saying for people going wild over how big of a gamble the deal for Dallas was I think, even if it goes bad, it was a great gamble to take. But like with CP3 there are major risks that can’t be avoided.
Spurs are not trading DDR... They wanna make him the closer.
more like closed opportunity on a ringhey I liked him playing with chip on his shoulder, but lately he’s like heartbroken teenager, man what gives?
