Lamelo snubbed not once. But Twice for the All Star game

I think we should trade Ball when we can.  Dude is going to remember things like this and I blame being on this team for the snub.

Yeah I could see that.  He doesn't seem to take accountability.  He could certainly blame the hornets for all his injuries.  I think the team has injury issues because the best player is soft so the rest of the team follows suit

We do not need to have a pity party for LaMelo because he plays for the Hornets. Yes clearly the NBA does not give a single fug about this franchise and the league office at this point surely despises us. But LaMelo is paid an assload of money and his immaturity in different ways has been a key source of problems for our team regardless of how talented he may be. We've discarded a slew of players including jokers like James Bouknight who LaMelo was seen hamming it up with on the sideline in the midst of a blowout loss. We've retained inconsistent Miles Bridges despite all his off the court issues because LaMelo is very close to him. At some point regardless of everything else going on around the team something has to give with Ball and he has to find his way to the basketball court consistently and that's just the starting point that's not even mentioning his defense. The clock is running out on the viability of if he is truly a centerpiece worth continuing to build around.

Spoiled entitled team jumpers with  a net worth of roughly 300 million dollars like Kevin Durant going on social media to complain about the fans that pay their salary is a pitiful look for a league that has already been struggling with viewership. Let these assholes go work a regular job like the majority of the rest of the population.

Lamelo has played 69 games (with what, 7 to go?) over the past 2 seasons.  let's say he is averaging 38 per season, if he plays the rest.   He is paid an average minimum of $40.7m per season.

MATH:  He makes over $1m per game. 

I don't post here, but if you pay part time players the league max, you are not going to win.

And No, Lamelo does not deserve all star status.  He is talented, but I do not see him playing within a system or adhering to a concept.

    • I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.
    • This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.
    • to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
