2020 All Star Watch

[Proximo]

Expect Booker to ask for a trade in the offseason. This is likely the last straw for him.

This is a ridiculous take.

A loser thinks like that.

A winner gets better and makes people recognize they messed up - that is what booker is going to do.

Overreact much? Lord. If he asks for a trade it will have little to do with the all-star game. It will have everything to do with the team imploding the rest of the season and not making moves needed to get guys around him.

Having said that...f....the All-star game. I won't watch a minute of it.

Probably not worth watching anyway...

Lol this is just too much, all hot take made to rile people up. No context or supporting arguments to back up the claim.

Okay, well call me a conspiracy theorist, if you want. But I expect deliberate/calculated snubs like this by the NBA occur for one of two reasons:

1. The NBA simply hates Phoenix, most likely because it hates Sarver.

2. The NBA wants to make it clear to Booker that if he ever wants all-star/all-league recognition, he's going to have to relocate his career at some point to one of the league's "favored" franchises (i.e., LA Lakers, Boston, GS). This is pretty much how the NBA operates these days to keep those "favored" franchises relevant, by funneling talent from the less glamorous outposts to the more lucrative ones.

If I were Booker I wouldn't participate in an All-Star event. Make that any Suns player.

And I can't imagine Booker, or anyone else, being strong enough to resist that, which brings me back to my original reaction...

Nah. Part of the reason he should is the exposure. He only gets one national game per year. People need to realize how elite he is .

If somehow Booker got in the All-Star game because of injury... sure. Otherwise, I would react to a snub by giving a snub.

That apparently will never happen as long as he is a Phoenix Sun, no matter what he does, unless and until the team starts winning, which likely isn't for at least another 2-3 years, if ever. He HAS to be thinking that right about now.

Luka has had ankle problems recently so maybe he pulls out. Someone has to to save the integrity of the AS game

If you are going to say a player got snubbed, list the player who he should have replaced. So, I’ll start- Devin Booker over Russell Westbrook.

I like this idea. Solidarity. Boycott all star weekend for book snub.

and I can’t believe he got snubbed this year. That’s just awful.

Westbrook, Mitchell, Paul.

 

[elindholm]

Westbrook and Ingram making it over him is an absolute load of garbage.

I knew it was going to come down to him vs. Westbrook. Maybe Booker will get in as an injury substitute.

 

[Bufalay]

Ridiculous.

Only reason I would have watched it is if Book was their

Whats Tonya Harding up to these days

(kidding?)

 

[BC867]

And now the Suns have gone 8 years without an All Star. Is that an NBA record?

That is on Sarver. Devin Booker can make waves and be done with him.

Phoenix Suns fans can't pick up and leave the market.

James Jones releases a statement.

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

I think he should’ve gotten in over Ingram. It’s where the front court/backcourt thing is stupid. Particularly due to the fact that it’s not like it’s a competitive game so who cares?

 

[JCSunsfan]

I am angry about this. It almost seems like a conspiracy to make Book unhappy to be here. We have seen it happen with AD in New Orleans.

Ding, ding, ding. We have a winner. And it will work with Booker just as it worked with AD. Expect Booker to be a Warrior or Timberwolf (much more likely a Warrior) by this time next year.
