Leap Year - The Kemba Walker Thread III

It's gotta be Kemba or Drummond. If they go with Dragic I'll be irritated, he hasn't been on the same level.

Judging by the General Board, most people think 2017 Kemba is 2012 Kemba so if the NBA goes by popularity it will be Drummond.

Yep, only way it's Kemba is if we trade him to a playoff team today.

Because of K Love injury?

Probably a shot, but I'm not betting on it. NBA will just award Heat for having better record and send the worse PG... oh well.

Something tells me that they may manipulate the rules a bit and Silver gonna choose CP3 or LouWill from the West to replace Love lol.

If not that then they’re gonna vote Ben Simmons or Dragic in.

I’d be totally surprised if Kemba got in even though he kinda deserves it.

I feel for kemba but I can’t blame the nba for not wanting to reward this crappy team

Dragic got in over Kemba lol. Nothing goes our way this year. Nothing. I get they have a much better record, but can anyone out there honestly say they'd rather have Dragic over Kemba this year or any other year for that matter? Makes the NBA look foolish.

I really couldn't care less that Kemba wasn't chosen. I'm not going to let some idiot coaches and fans tell me Kemba isn't an All star but Goran Dragic is.

Kemba gets the week off like an All star really deserves. Hopefully no other injuries occur because it would be insulting for Kemba to get chosen now after Dragic.

I can blame the NBA for this one because the ASG is not about rewarding the teams but rather the individual players that perform the best to show the fans the best the league has to offer.

Over my decades and decades of watching the NBA I’ve witnessed several players from losing teams get into the ASG because it wasn’t their fault their team was crappy. This just make the NBA look bad by making this decision on poor merits.

I’m not mad at the NBA but this is certainly a injustice. There’s plenty of cases that can be made for Kemba getting in over Dragic but only one for Dragic over Kemba. And even that one case can be omitted by things like win shares and etc.

I hope they reveal the voting process of these coaches. Dragic over Kemba (or even Simmons) is a joke. SMH.

Lol @ losing a ASG nod to player because of team record that you have over twice as many win shares than.

Neither deserved to be an all star. But if i had to choose obviously Kemba over Dragic. Thats a joke.

Kemba deserves better than this organization. He has worked at his game, become an elite player, is carrying the team with little help, and doesn't get the recognition that he deserves. He doesn't deserve to have an owner, GM, and coach who won't get a competent back-up, or a legit #2 option for him. He has embraced Charlotte, is building a home here, and has taken up the leadership mantle. He is never in the headlines for knucklehead behavior, nor domestic abuse, nor criminality. And he gets snubbed because his team can't help him. And the team then has the gall to try and trade him to erase the mistake contracts that they gave out? It's ridiculous.

If he demanded a trade, I wouldn't be surprised. And I wouldn't blame him. It would have nothing to do with Charlotte, or North Carolina, and everything to do with the organization. Would you have faith in the front office if you were a player? His career deserves better than this.
