I think it is going to be more of a lopsided (financially) trade honestly but the easy answer here is a true Center.

I don't think Pek is wroth Max however he puts up roughly as good of numbers as Lee and does play the position POR has said they are going after.

I like Lee but as I said he is only a glorified (yet very glorified) Hickson. Playing out of position for us.

meh I agree that a good center is a great need; but to be honest, you could just as easily use Lee to trade for a good center as well.

Hard with that contract of his and people don't just love to give away Centers if they are worth a dang.

a 19.2 PER +10 rebounds per game and almost 20ppg for 12 million? How is that hard?

This one is a fine example of a team that would do this deal in a heartbeat.

Actually I doubt they would. PHX has been rumored to be in a rebuild. They are looking to slash payroll.

It isn't the problem of Lee's contract now. It is in 3 years. He is signed even longer than Aldridge and it goes over 15.5 MIL the last year.

Center is the hardest position in the NBA to fill. You don't give a competent one away especially when he barely makes over MLE. Great value on this contract. I could see if PHX was on the verge of a championship like OKC and needed a push over.
 
i think even if LMA makes it he would be the 12th man off the bench like last year, so although a nice honor it would not really be a tragedy for me if he doesn't make it.

Cause they had a homer coach play Westbrook and Durant like they were playing a playoff game.
 
I don't feel as good about LMA making it this year as I did last year.

A lot of big guys having better years than last. LMA hasn't dropped off (much) but he was essentially the last pick last year. Going to be tough.

Personally, I don't care if our players make the all-star game. I haven't watched it for years.

I just want our boys to remain healthy and be ready to kick ass after the all star break!

The biggest difference is there are no centers sucking a pick from voters. How many players are choosen anyway? 12?

AMEN!!!!

btw brother... Did you know wheat grass shots are known to help the body fight toxins? Some theorize that it can help keep the body tuned to fight cancer too. Maybe a daily dose of wheat grass would help your dad.

Some of the mock all-star reserve selections have Lee making it while Curry doesn't make it. The Warriors are having an awesome year. Lee and Curry should make it this season.

Yes, 12 are chosen: 5 starters and 7 reserves.

Ya I think it is 12 total. Not that it means much (really anything at all) but the guys who have published their votes (on blogs and such) have only picked LMA on about half the (fake) ballots.

actually for the year his scoring efficency has dropped off a cliff.

TS% .519 down from .560, ORtg lowest of his career etc.

you could make an argument lee, zebo, gasol, and even ibaka should be in over him given that fact coupled with the team's recent slide back to .500

Last year's All-Star game was a joke.

Durant 37 minutes
Bryant 35
Griffin 31
Paul 31
Westbrook 28

Nobody else got over 18 minutes.

May as well just have 8 guys go and play if the coach is going to treat it as a regular season game.
 
interesting that there doesn't seem to be a single leak so far, unlike previous years. they must have really tightened up this year.

Funny, same thing happened at the draft, too, where like a minute before each pick or so, he announced it. Which is fine, part of me kept wondering why I was reading and watching, though.

Indiana forward Paul George has been selected to the Eastern Conference All-Star reserves, league sources tell Y! Sports.
 
I hate how these fools are so desperate to break news. They need to step back and see how sad it is to frantically tweet out stuff that is just about to happen.

So you have a lackey that will give you news that you call a source. BFD.

I would believe Mark Stein well before the other guy, but I find it hard to believe LaMarcus made it.

the other guy I was talking about was Kamala the Ugandan Giant.

I didn't not see anything from Woj when I saw that
