lol...could be I'll put it this way...didn't take me long to make that post, and my fingers don't dance across the keyboard. Cntrl+C is fast
Even if someone were to give an answer, it's doubtful that you would consider any answer you received to be "reasonable".
In that scenario wouldn't it be Philly getting Player X, Portland getting Simmons, and Team Z getting CJ? barfo
I really cannot imagine actually bookmarking a file and creating an actual folder to hold a bunch of posts and statements that I could use on a fan website. Maybe that is what I'm doing wrong here? I just think it and type it. Yes I make a bunch of mistakes and simply post opinion most of the time.
I just can't imagine typing out 1000 words any time someone mentions cj being an all star in the east.
c'mon man...there probably wasn't even 300 words and many of those were player names. And for sure people say CJ would be an all-star in the east a hell of a lot more often than I bother to respond. A+ for exaggeration you've spent as much time stalking my CJ posts as I have talking about CJ's all-star chances
Assumptions required to put CJ in all-star consideration: --CJ runs the point in Philly --Harris takes a tertiary offensive role with CJ at point --Philly remains top-3 in the East With those assumptions, I would put CJ ahead of the following players in list 1 Lavine Siakam Grant Brogdon Brown Butler Middleton Holiday Randle None of that is to say that McCollum is necessarily better than any of those players, but that CJ's performance and role on a top 3 Sixers team would likely elevate his ASG resume over theirs.
I think you'd be on thin ice with Butler, Middleton, and Brown. Expecting CJ to be voted in by fans is not realistic and defense counts with coaches. I don't think CJ would be bumping a PF like Randle off the team either you might also compare CJ's numbers to LaVine if CJ was a #2 on a top-3 team...maybe that would carry some water. But CJ was #2 on a top-3 seed in the West twice and didn't have any traction at all if people would simply say CJ might be an all-star in the east, given a set of favorable circumstances, I'd leave it alone and have. But too often it's framed as likely or a cinch
If the Sixers were top 3 and CJ was averaging something like 25 and 8, he's going to be an All-Star. I guaran-damn-tee it.
I think it’s more likely than not that CJ would be in an all star game by the time he left Philadelphia.
And, god forbid they somehow win a championship, CJ will suddenly be seen as the missing piece that was swapped out with all nba defender and all star and won a chip.
That would be great and personally how I lean but we need to show Philly lurkers that he truly is their missing piece let’s convince them to riot lol
Going the other direction, I'd expect the all-star starters this coming year to be Trae, Harden, Giannis, KD, and Embiid. The next 2 East guards I'd expect would be Kyrie and Beal, and then CJ as a Sixer would (in my mind) be the favorite for the 5th all-star guard spot.
is it safe to say that Embiid, Sabonis, and Adebayo are pretty close to locks? if so, that would make 7 already on the team with your starters and those 2 other bigs CJ would be competing for one of 5 spots with Tatum, Kyrie, Beal, Middleton, Randle, Butler, Brown, Holiday, and Siakam. Certainly not anywhere close to a cinch, especially if defense is a factor. And there would be other candidates too. But sure...it's possible
He could have as good a year and impact on Philly as many of those guards on your list. And with his personality, and if he was was a major factor in Philly excelling, coupled with a market size and population of the East why couldn't he make it? Just my opinion
Probably. There are a lot of fans in the Philadelphia area. He would get plenty of votes as well as publicity if he was ballin out in Philly.
