Who do you think will make the NBA All-Star Teams in 2018?
Western ConferenceGuards:Stephen Curry, Russell Westbrook, James Harden, Chris Paul , Klay ThompsonForwards:Kevin Durant, Anthony Davis, Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, Jimmy Butler, Draymond Green and DeMarcus CousinsEastern ConferenceGuards:Isaiah Thomas, John Wall, DeMar DeRozan, Kyrie Irving(?), Kyle Lowry, Kemba WalkerForwards:LeBron James, Giannis Antetokoumpo, Kevin Love, Gordon Hayward, Kristaps Porzingis and Joel EmbiidStarting Lineups:West: Davis, Durant, Leonard, Harden, WestbrookEast: Embiid, Antetokounmpo, James, Wall, ThomasOverall, I would predict the West to win the game once again because they are full of incredible shooters, playmakers, defenders (in the 4th quarter) and athletic players whereas the East just have a few of those type of players.
Is DeMar DeRozan considered a Star in the US?
He is a star here in Canada, or atleast in Toronto. But how is he viewed in the USA? He is was a mid range beast but could shoot the 3 if his life depended on it. Always was viewed as a chucker who didn’t do much else. People called him Harden-lite, as he played like James Harden, minus the 3 shot. However this season he is hitting the 3 consistently and playing an all around game. Just recently he scored 52 points, 5 rebounds, 8 assists, in one game. He is an all around offensive player. Not sure about the D, but it’s acceptable. I believe he is truely James Harden lite, now. This season atleast. What does the US think?
NBA: Who's missing from my all-De team: DeMar DeRozan, Demarcus Cousins?
Where is Deron Williams?
Do you think DeMar DeRozan will enjoy being in San Antonio?
I don’t know who he is (except that he is a basketball player) or what he likes, so how could I answer that accurately?
Who do you think won the Leonard for DeRozan trade?
Note- This answer might be a bit messy as I’m writing this at midnight as this just happened and I’m just putting this out without revising it. I’ll edit this later to clean it up if there’s any mistakes. These are just my general thoughts on the subject.Okay the details of the trade are as follows.Spurs SendKawhi LeonardDanny GreenRaptors SendDemar DerozanJakob Poetl2019 Protected PickI think the Spurs won the trade. They traded a disgruntled player with one year on his contract for another superstar who has another three years on his contract. They got a decent player in Jakob Poetl who averaged 6.9 point and 4.8 rebounds last season. The pick, although it’s not super valuable as the Raptors are a playoff team, will be nice to have.It could possibly end up as a PG type scenario where Kawhi resigns. But Kawhi has made it clear that he wants to play for LA to the point where it got a bit childish. Kawhi(or his uncle, group, whoever the fuck is talking) said that he will ONLY play for LA and any other team will just have a one year rental of him. Chris Haynes just said that Kawhi doesn’t have any desire to play in Toronto whatsoever. I also remember a source, I’ll try to find it, where Kawhi said that he will literally SIT OUT WITH HIS INJURY if he’s not traded to LA.I’m not saying that it’s not possible for Kawhi to remain with the Raptors. I expected Paul George to go to the Lakers, and a lot crazier things has happened in this league. But I feel like Kawhi is 100 percent serious about this and will leave Toronto for LA.Not only that, will Kawhi be the same with his injury? He hasn’t played an NBA game in a while and we have no idea of what his group is doing. He has taken ample time off so I don’t think it’ll be an Isaiah Thomas situation, where he gets drastically worse. But there is a slight chance that it does happen, and then the Raptors would’ve just gave up the face of their franchise for an injured Kawhi who’ll then proceed to leave them.If he doesn’t, I feel like this’ll just be a repeat of the Paul George trade. Both sides win and get good players. Spurs get a good, loyal player who can be the face of their franchise. And the Raptors get Kawhi, a top small forward in the league if he comes back the same.Overall, this can either end up really well or bad for the Raptors, while the Spurs should be good. Kawhi could leave the Raptors or be significantly worse.
What are the wristbands nba players demar derozan and sonny weems wear?
i dont know but sonny Weems is the best ever
DeMar Derozan the next kobe?
yea demar reminds me of a young kobe, only kobe was never passive in his entire basketball career and demar seem to be passive in the all-star games, if demar can develop an outside shot he is a lock to be a top 5 pick in next years draft, because next years draft class is terrible.
Do you think Klay Thompson will be an all star this year?
West starting 5 for now would probably look like this: Steph Curry, Harden, Durant, Davis, Cousins.Reserves: Westbrook, Lillard and I have Klay right there. Last 4 could include Griffin, Kawhi Leonard if he’s healthy (Aldridge if not), Wiggins, KAT/PG.So I see Klay getting in for sure due to his high level of play and popularity of the Warriors. Draymond may have harder time getting in this year.
Which 12 players from each conference do you think will be selected to the 2019 NBA All-Star Game?
It’s really difficult to pick out the best players from each conference but I think my list would be close to accurate.In the Eastern Conference, here are my 12 players:Giannis Antetokounmpo from the Milwaukee BucksKawhi Leonard and Kyle Lowry from the Toronto RaptorsBen Simmons and Joel Embiid from the Philadelphia 76ersKyrie Irving and Al Horford from the Boston CelticsVictor Oladipo from the Indiana PacersKemba Walker from the Charlotte HornetsNikola Vucevic from the Orlando MagicBlake Griffin from the Detroit PistonsBradley Beal from the Washington Wizards** - barring any trade to a Western Conference team; if Beal does get traded out West, I would replace him with Khris Middleton of the Milwaukee Bucks.In the Western Conference, here is my list of 12:Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, and Klay Thompson from the Golden State WarriorsLeBron James from the Los Angeles LakersJames Harden from the Houston RocketsNikola Jokic from the Denver NuggetsPaul George and Russell Westbrook from the Oklahoma City ThunderAnthony Davis from the New Orleans PelicansKarl Anthony-Towns from the Minnesota TimberwolvesMike Conley from the Memphis Grizzlies/Damian Lillard from the Portland Trail BlazersLuka Doncic from the Dallas Mavericks/Donovan Mitchell from the Utah JazzIt was a tough choice to leave both DeMar DeRozan and LaMarcus Aldridge of the San Antonio Spurs out of the 12 but I do think these 2 are both possible replacement candidates, in case of untimely (knock on wood) injuries to the other aforementioned players.
