Is there any path for LBJ to New Orleans?

No. Their active roster before resigning Boogie is close to the cap.

I saw it mentioned multiple times in an article breaking down the rosters that "Curry cornered the market on shooting"

What am I missing?

Doesn't LeBron's team have far superior shooters to Curry's?

3pt percentages, among qualified players (bold = curry, italics = lebron)


Klay Thompson, .457

Al Horford, .435

Stephen Curry, .423

-----------------------------------------Kevin Durant, .420

Karl-Anthony Towns, .409

---------------------------------------Victor Oladipo, .401
-----------------------------------------Kevin Love, .399

James Harden,.396

Kyle Lowry, .395

--------------------------------------Kyrie Irving, .393

----------------------------------------Kristaps Porzingis, .384

Damian Lillard, .370

----------------------------------------LeBron James, .362

--------------------------------------John Wall, .358

----------------------------------------DeMarcus Cousins, C .356

DeMar DeRozan, .347

Draymond Green, .311

-----------------------------------------Russell Westbrook, .308

Yes, I too agree that Al Horford is a better shooter than Kevin Durant

 

[SmudgeHog]

Yes, I too agree that Al Horford is a better shooter than Kevin Durant

Adjusted FG%

Horford .583
Durant .582

(Shooting was the only thing the original question was regarding, obviously Durant is a much better player. Korver is a better "shooter" than Durant, too)

On another note, I was really surprised looking at Karl Anthony Towns 3pt shooting stats, for a center. That guy is becoming amazing.

Who will be Cousins fill in? Paul George? Drummond? Paul? Capela?

Do they replace with Same position and conference or is that scrapped since the teams are mixed?

I just think it's hilarious how NBA All Stars' egos are so fragile that they can't even release the order in which they were picked- let alone do it live, even if it would be fun as hell to watch. Shit, it should have been done just before the game, school yard style. But these grown ass men can't handle it

 

[FiveThous]

I was hoping they televised it

This is interesting. Obviously $100k is a drop in the bucket for most of these guys, but still could make for a little more competitive of a game.

Who's in for Wall?

CP3, Simmons, Kemba
Drummond, Capella

LJs team dropping like flies, we know KD wont get a taste of the curse.

 

[TheISHT]

Who’s in for Love? Hopefully Simmons or CP3.
