Imagine not having your draft pick for all those years and being a high lotto team that gives up it's pick to another team year after year after year and then the one year you finally get your own pick you might sneak into the playoffs as a bottom seed :rofl:

Knicks are currently positioned to have a good chance in the Zion sweepstakes and even if they don't win it they can still pick up a nice young prospect. Nets might sneak into the playoffs or they might not, but either way we shouldn't be wishing to be in their position right now because they are exactly where we don't want to be.

I wonder if players will get jealous seeing these votes.

this has to help our chances right? Durant not being an all-star game starter has got to tick him off.

I thought they assign captains to choose their starting 5?

50% fan vote, 25% player vote, 25% media vote.

Will be interesting to see if Luka gets in.

I think players might think its too early for him to be an all-star in first year. Media I dunno..

luka is not even close to the most egregious. wade and rose as starters ? take the fan vote away.

Nah, take the players and media vote away. All Star game is a popularity contest, so the popular vote should decide.

Well it's not like he plays in a small market. KD is pretty polarizing though. A lot of folks respect his game but don't like him.

Wade has me slightly scratching my head but you have to remember, this could be his last year. Whatever you want to say about the past 5-6 years from him, cool. But the man is going down as a top 3 SG all time he’ll get that farewell all star start.

Rose is a comeback story, people love comebacks. I’m honestly not even mad.

They've done well but until they bring in a stud, their ceiling is Meh . High Floor Meh Ceiling = treadmill team. Knicks on the other hand have a chance to vault out of perpetual suckatude into something great, if we get a little lucky and a lotta smart.
