All-Star game is post-trade deadline. Is he still our all-star if we trade him? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think since he’s with us on selection day he’d represent us and the East, no matter what, but I’m not sure. This is the first time I remember the deadline being before the all star break.

hootie249 293 Report post Posted January 31, 2019 I think we do nothing. I feel the current regime is more about playing it safe. Trading away our current All-star would be a bad PR move. Trading away our pick would look real bad if we miss the playoffs. Imagine if that same pick moves up in the lotto. Since we took too long to upgrade our guard position, i think they stay put. Small chance we trade away Simmons or Ross, in that order. The only way we trade away the pick is if we are getting Jrue or Conley. And even then only if we are keeping Vuch,Gordon and Isaac. This is the mindset i see in current management. Just my humble opinion. I picked Bamba as the possible trade chip because if they care more about appearances, keeping an all-star looks better then a rookie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would you do this trade for Conley if we offered our top 4 protected pick and they accepted. http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=y7nvtshq This is us trying to make the playoffs this year with possible roster spots open for any waived players. This assumes Grizzlies trade Gasol as well and plan on doing full tank next two years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
