I said it a few days ago; every GM in the league should be going hard after Hield this summer.
He’ll be available, especially if the Kings decide to pay Bogdonovich
They've continued to say that they'll pay him, but we'll have to wait and see. If I were running the Suns, I'd desperately try to move Rubio somewhere in an effort to trade for Hield.

I also think Miami should go after him. He'd fit really well next to Butler.

Hield wants to be a starter. He won’t be with Booker here. I’d prefer to go after Beal because I think you can start them together but I know that would be a tall order.

I'm talking about starting Booker and Hield together, but I thought that would be obvious. It's not cap wise to pay Booker, Beal and Ayton's second contract. Hield is on a much team-friendlier deal.

I've always wanted to see a guy with a bad back in the dunk contest. Welcome to All-Star Weekend everyone! Thanks NBA and Dwight Howard.

Jones Jr vs Gordon for the finals...

I'd be so excited to have Aaron Gordon on the Suns and watch him injure his wrist in the dunk contest.

That was a phenomenal dunk contest. Gordon has the best 2 dunk contests in a losing effort ever. Really fun night all around!

Both were phenomenal. Both deserved to win

Yeah, but he didn't deserve to lose after dunking over Tacko freaking fall

All of the dunks were really great. I can't really decide between Gordon and Jones, both were outstanding.

I thought Jones Jr was a little better overall, based on their scoring system, both those last dunks were 50’s. Had to end it though at some point. They just need a better scoring system. Too easy to tie when you’ve got two incredible dunkers.

The tie-breaker should be a judge vote. Let both guys dunk and then pick one after.

Ya, just let them pick. 5 judges, can’t have a tie.

It's also probably not the best idea to have a former teammate as a judge. You know, if the NBA really cared about who wins this stuff.

It should have been a tie like the commentators were suggesting.

Aaron Gordon got absolutely robbed. I can't believe he deserved to win 2 dunk contests and won zero.

Did you think he was significantly better then Jones Jr? He was good enough to win. Probably has 2 of the 5 best dunk contest performances all time, but he just went up against 2 other top 5 performances. Though AG in 2016 might be the best ever... I thought he should have won that year.

1. AG 2016
2. Carter 2000(I could put this #1)
3. Lavine 2016
4. DJJ 2020
5. AG 2020

I’m only counting from the Carter contest. I was too young to watch any of the Jordan/Nique contests.

I saw him land on Tackos head and he probably needs a chiropractor now.

I thought it was embarrassing seeing the end of the dunk contest. Everything is a 10 from those two guys and it went on and on. The embarrassing part was the commentators yelling for the judges to quit through the tv as if they could hear them and it kind of made it look amateur hour.
