Had to look up the Amick piece, because he is credible source but I just can't understand why Kings (or Mavs for that matter) would be interested in Love. Here is a quote from original Amick article:


While the Mavericks are on the lookout for rebounding help and frontcourt scoring to pair with All-Star guard Luka Doncic, it’s unknown why the Kings might have an interest in Love.

One opposing source theorized the Kings may be looking to shake up the roster and start anew while rebuilding around point guard De’Aaron Fox. They reportedly are open to trading everyone from forwards Harrison BarnesMarvin Bagley III and Nemanja Bjelica to veteran point guard Cory Joseph.

The all star game is such a joke lol

I don't remember it ever being this casual and non-competitive. And before anyone says "it gets really competitive in the 4th!", then what's the entire point of me watching the other 3 quarters??

It's a waste of time. And given the fact the league itself schedules the game to start at 8pm, and then faffs around doing 30 minutes of pregame festivities, I don't think they care that much about it either. 

I know it's not that serious, but I just don't find casual pick up basketball entertaining.

Ok well the last 2 minutes of the 2nd quarter was a LOT of fun.

Lillard lob dunk, Steph lob dunk, CP3 lob dunk. Then Lillard and Steph hit back to back half court shots. Thats pretty cool

At the risk of becoming a broken record, it's worth repeating that Love's agent is the same guy that got Barnes his big contract in Sacramento. He's almost certainly a vocal source for a lot of these rumors involving his clients and Schwartz-friendly teams.

It's like Dame used the All Star game to basically ask, "any questions"!  Dude shot 50% on threes from an average distance of about 40 feet!

Maybe trying to put a little pressure on the MBT to close a deal with CLE?

Griffin to BRK official. That's one bullet dodged.

I don't think Dallas was even in the convo for Blake. It's championship or bust for him now. I actually thought he would sign with the Lakers.

Probably not a bad thing for the Cavs to have out there, if true or not.   Maybe it gets another contender to offer something instead of him landing in LAL.   Although as we have seen, the Lakers are one of a few teams that are always attractive to buyout candidates.

If the Mavs have any interest, it will probably need to be via trade and not a buyout.   It just seems like in Dallas he may need to fight for closing minutes here.   He would be one of our two top bigs, but can KP and Drummond finish games together?  So the easiest route is either to go to one of of the leading contenders or to a team where he would have a clear, consistent role and had an opening for a center.

I don't know if they have the assets, but I think Charlotte could be an option.  Seems like an MJ move too to fight for a 6-8 seed.  I also wonder if Milwaukee has anything.   Do they have confidence Lopez can compete in a series against Embid and Bam's of the world?  Having two poor shooters in Giannis and Greek Freak on the floor will be an odd match, but Milwaukee needs to be aggressive imo.

Lots of Orlando rumors. Clearly the league thinks they're sellers.

Interesting stance on Young. I guess he’s their JB/Maxi/Powell/DFS.
