I'm calling it now; Booker will be in the All-Star game.

One of the guys who's been several times will pick up a small injury or some mystery ailment and Booker will replace him. My money is on Westbrook or Harden. How badly do all of these guys want to spend a long busy weekend in Chicago in February?

I want any move we make to be about 2021 and beyond. I would hate to make another short-sighted move to get 3-4 more wins this year, sacrificing flexibility and growth for next year.
It really needs to be about both. Fans are tired of hearing about "flexibility" and "assets" while watching the Ls pile up. We need to add a piece to make a run while building a competitive roster going forward.
Go Suns!

There will be a couple of injuries (or "injuries") and they'll need replacements, so his chances are good.

Not to wish ill on anyone, but since he already hurt himself, let's hope Luka is wearing a soft cast tomorrow.

Luka won’t sit out his 1st all star game. Harden/Westbrook/Paul/Kawhi/AD...those are the guys I could see sitting out.

Disgusted the league didn't take Devin. Chris Paul 17/5/6 on 45% shooting to Devin's 27/4/6 on 51% shooting isn't even comparable. No disrespect to Paul's career accomplishments but that's the exact reason he made the team this year. Because he made it in the past. Chris Paul isn't at the same superstar level anymore. Gross.

If you say, "Oh well he's got a better record than Devin." Fine, then Brandon Ingram stays home. Can't have it both ways NBA.

And to the coaches who DIDN'T vote him in, sorry, but you can't throw double and triple teams at him anymore then. Hypocrisy at it's finest to those coaches.

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

That’s literally 4 of the 10 best guys of all time, the best offensive guard of all time, and Booker. Mind blowing that people can’t see how good he is.

So get him some help, dude. And tell your starting center not to take diuretics.

WTF?! Ingram? Paul? Ridiculous....I hope Booker torches the rest of the league with winning the second half of the season. Monty better find the right deal to help Book out with at least a better ball handler/shot maker to sub for Rubio.

Nba still hanging onto the past. I hope this continues to light a fire under Booker and motivate him even more to be legendary. If I were him I'd circle every game of the team of the guards chosen over him and drop 50 on each one of them.

Maybe a month ago or whenever I would have been okay with it. But Phoenix has a .426 winning percentage and is 3 losses behind the 8 seed. The Suns are no longer bad enough to justify leaving him off. Not at all.

Booker’s shot chart on here is ridiculous. He’s above average from basically everywhere except the left corner. Middleton has a very impressive one as well.
