I’m still not sold on Zion/Ingram working…how much have they played together this year? Have the numbers been good? I think I’d pick one of the two and trade the other to really complete the roster.

I think it will work but not if they don't get enough reps together to figure it out.

Good times in the league tonight.

Bill Kennedy can't hide his smile while reviewing the Brook Lopez thing.

Huh. That's not like Markieff Morris to get in the middle of an altercation like that.

Austin Reaves has passed Booker in the latest All-Star voting. Honestly that is just so unbelievably stupid, the fans shouldn't get a vote if they are going to do stupid shit like that. Or the voting system should exclude any ballots for trash players who are clearly not worthy of being all-stars.

Or we can stop acting like the AS game matters when it comes to a players legacy or reputation in regards to how good they are.

Even Austin Reaves is embarrassed by this.

It means nothing. Has zero bearing on who gets into the all-star game. Also if you’re complaining, I hope you’ve been voting for Booker every day.

It only matters for the starters but does show what a joke the fan voting is.

Fans just vote for their players…Reaves plays in LA for the Lakers and they have more fans than anyone else. Just makes sense

The regular fantasy league players would know that this season stat lines have been wild quite often 🤦🏾‍♂️

What an interaction lol
SVG really is an old head to be lost when KD replied and KD the one replying is also ironic but to be fair, most his injuries just been random incidents
