Gotta love opposing players openly trashing the defensive schemes of the so-called "defense-minded" coach.

Ehh.
One of the most pathetic things of last season is how ****** tried to suddenly absolve Bron/Klutch when the Russ move backfired.
One minute...it's "player empowerment" and an understanding that the most elite of superstars have a "deserved" say in roster management. The next minute...ownership/management are supposed to put their foot down and push back when **** goes left. If for some reason the Hield trade didn't work out...****** would have been in here saying "see they should have let Bron and them bring Russ in"
Pat Riley put his foot down and it led to a strained relationship and Team Lebron dipping.
It was also sus for KD to look for an escape from a franchise, when you and your mecurial partner are the #1 reasons why it's gone the way it has. Can't have it both ways.

Yeah I'ma fan of Bron and Klutch but you can't give them credit when it works then blame ownership when it don't.

Miami was the best basketball situation that LeBron ever had. I respect player empowerment for guys choosing where they want to go in free agency. It remains foolish to me for these franchises to let these guys drive decision making/takeover the franchises. LeBron is the only one that’s been successful and that’s with a mixed bag on the long term implications of that. Most of these guys just aren’t good enough to let them hold your franchise hostage.

It's been "Team Durant" in the All Star Game since he's come back from injury.
I doubt he's going to suddenly get less votes than a Tatum or Embiid this year of all....

Been happening every game for the past 3 games or so. Not a good look, hopefully it gets this dude fired sooner than later.

Im not gonna pretend ive watch a full laker game in weeks but just from highlights it looks like LeBron is playing off ball alot more this season. Probably not a coincidence that westbrook looks a lot better this year

All Star game is supposed to be the best of the best. Somebody is gonna get snubbed every year and that's a good thing

Manu had a few years in his prime where his PER was as high or slightly higher than Kobe. So, imo, not as disrespectful as you think.

I don't think position-less changes that. Probably improves it, no more Roy Hibbert situations.

The 5 best teams should all have 1 starter especially if it’s THAT close

Naw he could move that 1st year, that meniscus/bone bruise combo pack finished his lateral quickness off. He did get some of it back this year though

DHam saved Russ from his himself by limiting his minutes, not playing him in 4th quarters at times. His still turns the ball over too much for a 6th man type.

Manu is great until people start acting like he could've led his own team. He was a 6 man for a reason

What’s the current voting?
I can easily see Tatum getting the short end on popularity compared to the other three.

Poole is a star as long as there's a 7+ sitting courtside
