Pretty meh showing from Paolo in the Rising Stars game but I'm hoping he's just pacing himself over the weekend.

Skills challenge was just as bad unfortunately.. haha. He looked nervous tonight. Let’s see if Mac McClung does anything fun for us

Trae Young was asked where he’d be if he wasn’t at all-star weekend and he said he’d be in Orlando.

Now's the time when David Steele asks: Is This Anything?

Honestly, this is a bit odd and noteworthy.

I haven't seen the exact video but I'm pretty sure he said he'd be taking his family to Disney World. 

But.

Paolo and Trae have been pictured chatting. Sooo... Maybe get hyped? Lol

“I’m going to Orlando regardless, I’m going to Disney regardless”

 

it’s probably grasping at nothing, but it’s slow around here lol

Yea it's definitely closer to nothing than something.

But also I'm pretty into the idea of trading for Trae so why not feel hopeful?

Paolo is trying far too hard and really wants to a point you can tell (he just got blocked by Steph Curry). Wish he could relax and take it in, but you can tell he's trying to consciously balance trying hard while acting like he doesn't care.

The all star game is silly. It’s pretty much geared for whichever perimeter player wants to be the most selfish. And Steph got all hand/wrist on that block haha

Paolo is leading the East in assists at halftime for what it’s worth. I’m all for him using this as a shmoozing and recruiting trip to show other stars how much fun it is to play with him.
