These guys feel like they have to get in. Philly can't just have one and I'm taking Simmons over Harris
Tatum
Sabonis
Can't see leaving those two guys off either.
Harden
I don't think he's done enough in the East yet and he wasn't good in Houston, but he's a big name so he gets a spot. Which leaves one and some people will get mad.
I think I'll go Randle. I like to reward guys who don't just put up numbers but have real positive impact on their teams. So he gets the nod over Trae, Vuc and Bam.
Final 7: Brown, Middleton, Simmons, Tatum, Sabonis, Harden, Randle
lol @ Harden hasn't done enough in the East yet.
seriously just LMAO at the idea that a guy putting up 25ppg, league leading 11.4asp, 8.3 rpg, 50% FG, 40% 3P, 5 triple doubles, 12-6 record, would get into the all-star game cause "he's a big name".
Also, why exactly do the Sixers must have 2 all-stars? They .64 winning % is a 53 win pace in a normal season. Thats not some setting the world not fire top team that deserves their bench players in the all-star game. Look at the 16/17 season, Celtics finished as the #1 seed with 53 wins, matching the Sixers pace exactly. Guess how many all-starts they had. 1 - Isiah Thomas. Cavs finished 2nd with 51 wins, matching the Nets pace exactly. Guess how many all-stars they had. 3.
