The Sixers tanking question ignored the fact that even "tanking" there are 6 teams going after the tank harder than they even can. And Portland/Chicago can easily still out "tank" them. Even if they go the tank route, at best they are probably only moving the odds of keeping their pick from 26.3% to 32%. Their best bet is obviously to go past Chicago for the 10th spot, and win the 8th seed from the Play-In. The only way to keep the pick is work a trade with OKC to amend protections to 2026. And that probably includes giving OKC some form of 28/29 Clippers swaps.
Franz wagner. Carried the magic to #3 with a team of young and gritty nobodies. (Now that banchero is back, everyone is playing worse, again boosting the case for Wagner)
Cavs got 3. Well deserved. Its virtually impossible to get 4 - though one might argue JA deserved it as well, but its good to see the Cavs guys getting the recognition.
Trae isn't a snub. The dude doesn't win any games for your team. He is as much empty stats as LaMelo. If LaMelo didn't get in Trae shouldn't either. Just look at how he's playing this year
Thank you for making chapters so I can skip all the rockets stuff
The rockets stuff was in the end though?
Fun seeing Kyle Neubeck on this show - he's great on the Sixers podcasts, and I say this as a Knicks fan :)
Biggest snub has to be N. Powell
Nope.
@kjjr3270 maybe, but he's been so good after years of being a glue guy off the bench. It would be a great story.

Coaches don't like Trae. Loosing interest when the Hot Girl can't guard.
29:25 Kelly says the rockets need spacing then says to get.. (checks notes) Demar DeRozan???
I know they need shooting badly. They also just need a closer. And he might be the cheapest one available. Less analytical, more ethical.

The All Star game should be All Stars vs. Snubs
Sabonis and Maxey are my snubs. I think traes percentages are just too low to call him a snub. Hes struggling to shoot this year.
how did Bronny james miss an all star spot
Lamelo ball was #3 in the player voting. I'll take their opinion, obviously over these two 🍠🥔
