What kind of “no”?

Like “No, but we are still listening” or “Hell No!!! Get your 2K bullshit out of here!”?
Clippers would be listening for sure.

I think the Kings are a hell no..I can’t see them even listening for anything short of Mikal Bridges

What a middle finger to Phoenix by the league
In other words, business as usual?
Kind of, but a lot of our own doing. It has been 10 years since we were a relevant team. That means nobody watches us, so people don't know Book. This snub is on Robert by not getting a real team together, ever. The only team that was relevant was put together by JC or his hires.
The reserves are voted in by the coaches only. They all have to face Book multiple times per year. They know how good he is (look at Pop's comments recently).

So there is no excuse.

I just hope Booker takes it personally and starts really punishing the league for their stupidity.
Some guys play better when they’re angry. Is Booker one of them?
We’ll see.
Sometimes would be my answer. If he’s frustrated it can result in silly fouls. But that’s more of an in game thing.

There was the time the crowd in Phoenix was cheering for Westbrook to get the triple double record. Booker got pissed and lead us to the win. Only example I could think of , but a good one.
Sose and I were at that game.
But the important question is...were you cheering for Westbrook? :P

YOU'VE GOT TO BE FUCKING KIDDING ME!

Morant has been really good for a rookie. For a rookie. Not All-Star level. Young and Doncic didn't even make the All-Star game last year.

Booker is PISSED. I just hope this kind of thing doesn't bite the franchise in the ass.

In what way? We are already the most hated team in the NBA by the league/refs/owners.

Or do you mean Book wanting out?

Book wanting out. Feeling like he can't get recognized for how great he is in this market.
What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton

Haha, hell no. I was loving Booker keeping Westbrook from getting his record that night.

I remember watching it on TV and loving that they prevented it as well. It was a great moment. We stopped it and got the win.

"No disrespect to Devin Booker, but Ja Morant should have made this team," said Barkley.

I'd like to slap Charles Barkley across the face. And I could do it too because the fat-ass couldn't catch me, no disrespect to Charles Barkley.

Barkley said that?

Hell, I'd rather see Morant in the All Star game than Chris Paul. But he's an NBA "darling" and it might be his last one, so younger guys gotta wait. Westbrook gets in because he's a name.

Let’s find out tonight who booker wants to take it out on.

Can we just sub Baynes in to set some hard screens on Paul, their coach also

I have no doubt in my mind that Billy Donovan voted Westbrook over Book.

Didn't one coach vote Caruso over Book?
