All NBA teams announced

[illmatic99]

LA makes 2nd team for the first time in his career. Dame drops off the list from his 3rd team appearance last year -- I wonder if this affects his DRose max contract extension?

As I recall it does affect his ability to get a supermax extension.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

They should add a Fourth Team, then the next season's All Star game could be First versus Second, with 1st getting 4th team as a bench and 2nd getting 3rd as a bench.

 

[illmatic99]

Part of the new labor deal will allow rookies getting their second contract — which starts with their fifth season — to earn the new max of up to 30 percent of the salary cap (up from 25 percent). To qualify for the bump all they need to do is win an MVP award, get voted into the All-Star Game as a starter two times or twice in their first four seasons or get named to any level of the All-NBA teams in those four seasons

So Dame still has a shot to hit that mark if he gets on an All NBA team next season

 

[B-Roy]

Duncan beat Kawhi Leonard by 2 points for the last forward slot. Talk about an ouch coming from his teammate.

 

[Pinwheel1]

I would question the choice of Duncan to 3rd team and Pau Gasol to 2nd team

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Pau Gasol? WTF... This isn't 2010

 

[handiman]

And much like the All-Defense teams, the West absolutely dominates the All-NBA spots with 4 of 5, 4 of 5, and 4 of 5 on each respective team!

 

[Natebishop3]

Not really surprised. Dame had a horrible second half of the season. Whether it was an injury, fatigue, or just bad basketball, he didn't deserve to make the team.

 

[crowTrobot]

At least LMA crushed Blake Griffin in the voting

 

[barfo]

Not a lot of SFs on those lists.

 

[Denny Crane]

Pau put up 19/12 and a 23 PER . Some say his best season ever.

 

[illmatic99]

I expect KD and Kawhi to get on those lists next year

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Paul George too

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Agreed. I wouldn't say I'd pick the 2nd Team over the 1st Team, but I've never seen them so close in talent level before.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

I think the third team would beat the second

 

[HailBlazers]

I think the third team would beat the second

I don't think so but I liked your comment anyway.

 

[Strenuus]

Marc Gasol on first team... guess he's not overrated after all.

 

[EGame]

I think the third team would beat the second

Probably because Chuckbrook would just play 1 on 5 ball and isolate the others.

Exactly! Team 2 outside of CP3 are all scorers. Team 3 is full of ball movers.

 

[magnifier661]

Pau put up 19/12 and a 23 PER . Some say his best season ever.

I actually agree. Pau was a beast this season! He deserves the spot IMO

 

[KingSpeed]

Marc Gasol on first team... guess he's not overrated after all.

Yes, that means he IS overrated. When you get accolades you don't deserve, that is the definition of overrated.

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Gasol is the best center in the league. So......

 

[Strenuus]

Apparently in the majority of the media, he is a #1 all team. In YOUR opinion, which DOESN'T count towards this... he is overrated. But, it doesn't matter in this instance. So, your opinion isn't fact in this case, whereas the opinion of the media chosen to choose the teams, is. So....

Considering that "overrated" is by its very nature a subjective term, the opinion of the person using said term completely matters. KS believes that the media think more highly of Gasol than they ought. Him being on the first team doesn't subvert that argument, it supports it.

One is fact based on opinion, one is an opinion of an opinion that was rendered fact. I suppose it doesn't discredit it, but it's also futile to argue it.

 

[MarAzul]

The Gasol brothers doing well. I can't quite see DeAndre Jordan belonging on any of those list. I think Andrew Bogut is the center on one of the teams.

 

[jlprk]

I can't quite see DeAndre Jordan belonging on any of those list.

Rivers paid off the vote-counters. One-dimensional players don't belong on the 3rd team.

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

People on the general board on realgm are trying to say Aldridge doesnt deserve 2nd team. That he puts up garbage stats and was nothing until lillard came along. Then they go on to say that lillard was by far our best player last year.

Pretty comical stuff

That's funny because I think you could argue Aldridge was the better PF than Davis this year and deserved to be on the first.
