  Hard to believe we're all grown men sometimes.
  
  I've always thought the voting was a bit of a flawed system. I'm surprised Yao Ming still isn't getting thousands of votes. As a Cavs fan, I'm not disappointed Irving is sitting out. As a fan of basketball, it's cool to see some of the younger guys make it for the first time. I think the east is going to get walloped, though.

  Well, PG has been hurt, what's your fucking point? Anyone think Durrant shouldn't be at the ASG? Then you tack on his arrogance and how he was aghast that anyone ever disagree with him (or his complete lack of being able to understand anything but his opinion) and you have the back and fourth. He looked at stats, didn't consider anything else and started thumping his chest with his hottake. Just lol at his triple post.

  Durant was voted by the fans, not placed on as a reserve. Was Kyrie voted on by the fans?
  
  The hilarious thing is you're losing your shit for no good reason at all. No one is saying Thomas is a better player than Kyrie. No one. None. Not at all. What don't you get about that?
  You hilariously keep avoiding the fact that Thomas has had a better year, that's why he got a reserve spot over Kyrie.

  You triple posted, got smug as shit and called me names, most notably retarded. How am I the one "losing my shit". lolfail
  
  To me, trying to argue that Thomas is having a better season than Kyrie is like trying to argue that Mozgov is having a better season than Shaq. Well no shit, Shaq isn't playing. So thomas is putting up some stats on the 6th team in the east. Great, he's having a good year. How about if we look at second half of last season to this season? Still feel that way? He ain't Kyrie, nuff said. Let's revisit in May, see who you think is having the better season then.
  
  I say we move on, Zwick is incapable of anyone disagreeing with him civilly, (he'll probably call you retarded [one step above calling someone a gay slur and proves his immaturity]).
  
  Back on topic, any thoughts on the trade wire? Been hearing Rudy Gay, Asik, Ryan Anderson, and the Celtics come up repeatedly when looking at the trade deadline.

  I think we make a move but it won't be a big one. I could see someone unloading a big contract for AV + fillers but they won't touch the core of our team that is KL, KI, LJ, TT, JR, Shump, Delly, Mo.
  
  Mostly I just want them to get rid of AV. Dude is junk.

  Bad contract, doesn't play. Not sure how we get rid of him and don't get worse unless we take on something like Joe Johnson. Which I don't want to do.

  They have a roster spot open and the 10M exception. They may pick up a need without giving away a player or future asset.
  
  EDIT:They also have a 2.85M TPE from trading Miller. Maybe cut Cunningham and pickup someone with that TPE.

  Watching the Blazers Bucks game, it's been bad basketball and bad officiating. Hard on the eyes.

  Sure you know this but others might not, they can not combine the two or combine a tpe with a player in a trade. Has to be used separately.

  62-26 at half.
  
  Oh and Timmy and Manu are sitting this one out too.
• Ironman92

  

  If Pachulia was ejected for that then Tim Duncan should have been ejected 1,000 times in his career
• Mulva

  

  Karl Towns is an animal. Wolves have a chance to be nice in a couple years.
