NBA has to send 4 Cavs to All-Star

It’s only right. This is the best core 4 since 2017 Golden State.

Great troll. Looking forward to Celtic fans' response.

Tatum is best player in series but is it crazy to think the Cavs have next 4 best players?

Maybe not crazy, but probably a minority opinion. Boston might have the best 2 players. A Brown/Mitchell poll would be interesting, tbh.

Haha I'm not opposed to the Cavs getting 4 all-stars but a year ago the Celtics had a million game lead in the standings, and a historic net rating, and multiple all-star caliber players, and absolutely no one on this board would entertain posts from Celtics fans saying they should get more than 2. And they got 2. So yeah.

Cavs should have 4 and Thunder 3 IMO. Two historically good teams.

I think Celtics deserved 4 last year

I would take Brown and White over Allen and Garland in a playoff setting due to their switchability and versatility.

SGA, Williams, and Hartenstein right?

Well, you never know when the coaches will decide to send a message with their votes, and players sacrificing for the team is exactly the sort of message they dream their team would listen to.

Derrick White def should have been an all-star last year and should be this year (I think, I haven't done the full exercise). Was KP the fourth?

Allen Mobley and Mitchell, yes, Garland no, because there needs to be room for Cade Cunningham.

Yup, had Chet not gotten hurt, probably would've been him. Hartenstein has been phenomenal.

Maybe 3. Can we settle on 3?

Can't we all just get along?

I'm basically never a fan of any team getting 4 All-Stars. It's a waste and poor representation for other guys out there killing it on lesser teams. Also, what 4 guys would deserve it on Cleveland anyway?

JujitsuFlip · Post #18 » by **JujitsuFlip** » Thu Jan 9, 2025 11:09 pm

They do deserve it but probably only going to get 1 starter, so going to need a lot of help from the Eastern Conference head coaches.

If there is an injury, maybe Adam Silver helps one of them get in? Just depends what he values.

I think 4 seems tough, even though deserved.

Allstar game is for the fans not to reward players for winning lots of games, sending 4 guys from 1 team defeats purpose of the ASG.

I'd say that Allen is the 4th most deserving (on the team) and that's not really a slight against him.
