Tyler Johnson & Jevon Carter for Malik Monk and Cody Zeller?
I don't think that trade does anything for us. I don't feel great about adding another small guard who doesn't have a reliable ability to shoot or run an offense.

And I feel we can do better than Zeller as a backup for Ayton. I want skill/perimeter shooting and/or shot-blocking/athleticism behind Ayton.

I think Jalen McDaniels and Willy Hernangomez are the guys to get from Charlotte.

Lillard is on a team that has regressed SIGNIFICANTLY and he's worse statistically than Booker. But he made it over Book?
He’s not worse than Booker statistically. Lillard is one of the few that deserve a spot over Booker.
Thank you.

No one seems to be upset that Westbrook made it over Booker. Sure, Booker is better than Ingram/CP3/Mitchell, but all those guys were deserving as well. Westbrook was not. He had 1 good month.
Westbrook had his struggles early on this season, but his season numbers are still great. And his team is in the playoffs. And he has the track record. I don't have a problem with him making it.

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.
Paul is on the team because he is having a really good season and is quarterbacking a playoff Thunder team that most thought would be abysmal.

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.
Honestly, it is both. These are subjective, contextual selections.

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.
Honestly, the double teaming has also been due to how much the Suns suck at 3-point shooting.

Really bullsh*t.

Guilty. I think Booker is deserving, but I don't think it is a travesty that he didn't get selected.

That's OK. I'm guessing you don't watch every game like some of us do.

There's always next season. Or the season after that. Or maybe the season after that. I mean, he's only been putting up numbers offensively and with the efficiency of 4 or 5 players in the history of the NBA. It's not a travesty. That type of output doesn't warrant being an All Star.

if luka is out, booker is in?
Been hearing rumblings on the internet, before his game against the Pelicans,that word leaked and Morant was told he's first in line as an injury alternate. Take it for what it's worth. Pretty upsetting if true.

Listening to 7SOL podcast and they went over some trade deadline targets. Besides the ones we always hear(Schroeder, Rose, Gallo, Love, Gordon, etc.) Here’s some names mentioned.

Nmenja Bjelica.

Reggie Jackson.

Harrison Barnes.

PJ Tucker.

Yuck on Barnes...Bjelica would be a nice upgrade on Saric. Jackson is a low risk swing. Tucker would be really nice, just don’t see anyway Houston would move him.

Haha, in defense of the podcast, they presented it as something they could see the suns doing. They were not suggesting the suns make the trade and said they’d be pretty against it.

We just need to get out of Rubio's deal. And I really think Trey Burke makes so much sense for us. I think Zhaire Smith compliments Ty Jerome. Get them here.

Go get Willy Hernangomez from Charlotte and call it a trade deadline.

Booker’s January numbers:

31/6/4 with .659 TS%

For comparison, Lillard, who’s gonna win the player of the months’s numbers:

34/8/5 with .655 TS%

And the guy who stole Booker’s all star spot with 1 good month:

32/8/8 with .571 TS%

Here’s Ingram:

24/5/5 with .576 TS%

Mitchell:

23/4/3 with .576 TS%

And Harden for good measure:

29/6/8 with .535 TS%

That Booker kid might be good. Wonder if we should tell the league?
