Since everyone is debating all stars these are my 12 right now for east. Don’t really think most of these are debatable

Kemba
Griffin
Irving
Giannis
Leonard
Embiid
Vucevic
Oladipo (if he stays healthy now)
Butler
wall (his numbers are great)

Probable
Lowry (leads league in assists and Toronto is blasting the lesgue)
Drummond (averaging 18 points, 16 rebounds and two blocks per game)

Possible
Beal 23, 4 and 4, good shooting
Tatum (16 and 6 solid shooting, Celtics need to keep winning)
Ben Simmons (good counting stats, but unlikely to get 3 all stars with 3rd or 4th best record in east)
Kris Middleton. Numbers down from last year but second best player on surprising bucks)
Lavine 24, 5 and 5 on solid shooting numbers l, but bulls are dumpster fire

Apologies to horford but no chance this year
IMO

i hope we don't take the "oh we'll just wait a yr." approach. anything less than a finals appearance and heads should roll.

The chances of Tatum making the all star team with the numbers he's put up so far is absolute zero. 16.7 points and 6.5 rebounds with under 2 assists per game are not all star numbers.

As for Ben Simmons, putting up 16-9-8 with good defense definitely puts him in the all star conversation. I don't even feel fully confident that Jimmy Butler (avergaing fewer than 20 ppg with the Sixers) is ahead of Simmons for an all star spot.

Kawhi and Giannis have looked incredible so far the Pacers and Philly are definitely beatable but I don't see how the Celtics will be able to beat the Bucks or Raptors 4 out of 7 times...

Hayward is so bad I can't believe he's getting 30 million a year absolutely garbage contract even before the injury I've spoken to some Utah fans and they said he was never worth that money, everyone says Danny is so great of a GM but that contract is horse Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline. idk why he gave Hayward that money it's totally Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.ed the entire team and cap situation... Kevin love, John Wall, Hayward all have bad bad bad contracts.
