When Lebron and Giannis pick their teams, the starters will be chosen first, the reserves second and then finally Wade/Nowitzki.  I assume that Wade will end up on Lebron's team.

Interesting, I wonder if part of the "legacy" picks is to reduce the focus on who gets picked last.

That's a really good point.

The title has to be changed.

And good for Russell. I think his incident with Young is forgotten now.

I doubt it.  They're not going to have "legacy" picks every year.

Quote from: Marc Stein
In keeping with recent history, I'm told that NBA Commissioner Adam Silver selected Brooklyn's D'Angelo Russell as the injury replacement for Indiana's Victor Oladipo because Russell was next in line in East coach voting ahead of any other East snubee

Have "legacy" picks happened before? Not that I can recall. Seems kinda weird. I especially object to having Wade around for another all-star weekend.

BREAKING- Adam silver made a special addition as D wade takes the place of oladipo


Russell robbed

yup.....his skills are sorely needed ....shooting .....and would have been a great asset to HAVE Kept.    Lonzo can't throw the ball in the ocean , Bron has no shooters .   This was Magics first huge mistake , he wasted no time in dumping his best shooter .  Magic is Low IQ big time. 

i was hoping Russell would make it . LA fans are lamenting. , throwing away that pick for salary dump .   But thats more of the media bias .....celebs are allowed to do stupid stuff and say dumb stuff and not be accountable.

Wade  ::).......but it makes the masses happy i guess ...
