Deni an All Star

[SheedSoNasty]

Well deserved!

 

[Everything Beagle]

Very well deserved

 

[Quatro44]

Fuck yeah!

 

[julius]

Trade him now. His value will never be higher! (Did I do that right @SlyPokerDog ?)

 

[blazerkor]

This is excellent news. I hope whatever is ailing him, likely his back can get to a good point so the team can depend on him and he can enjoy being an all star.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Congrats

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Now he can sit out our games and rest that back up. I'm fine with him playing in the ASG if it means a lot to him. But yeah don't want him risking injury with our games if its better to let the back heal first.

 

[riverman]

Proud to have Deni represent us and get the nod. He deserves this

So do we know if any other American or World player will be selected? I believe there needs to be 16 US players and 8 world

Future Blazer Giannis - have you heard of him?

But yeah will probably now be an international player taken to replace him. But that is just standard injury replacement.

It would have been odd if there were 2-3 or so additional allstars just due to nationality.

Giannis is out....another calf injury is a season filled with them

so they need one more foreign born player

There might be some subs for injuries but this season between the starters and reserves the selections are 9 international and 18 USA players. No Silver picks needed to even out the teams.

Deni does look cute when smiling. And Blazers have had damn little to smile about lately.

I read that Towns is US but played for a Caribbean country in the Olympics. Probably someone else is similar. So they can kind of flex between either US or World roster.

KAT was born in New Jersey and the last I read was that the NBA was defining international players for the all-star game as those born outside the USA

So the NBA might have to tweak the rules of the allstar game? I bet that is something that rarely happens...

I don't see why they would need to tweak. Sengun is pretty clearly deserving of the nod. That would meet the 8/16 format

 

[THE HCP]

You’d think it is what country they currently represent. Citizenship wise. Like who they would play for in an Olympic type format.

Norm Powell represented Jamaica recently. Doubt he's being considered for the international team.

But some players are dual citizens and can represent either country.

I remember when Hakeem switched up to be an American citizen just to play for Dream Team 2. HA!

so the same damn AI is confused

The NBA All Star has been this way since the 90s. Why fix what's not broken?
