Melo is better entertainment for this exhibition game of show boating and globetrotter ball. He fits the game to the eyes. Ultimately we want Trae to be an olympian. 

Fits it better than Trae?

Melo and its not even close, plus he can dunk.

Did you see what that Hawk player did?  That cost us the all star victory!

Nope.  Not happening!  If we're not there, can't blame us!

Glorified three point shooting with many dunks thrown down.  This is the entire game any way.  Who cares, really?

Stay home, heal up.  Interview those new players that we traded for or called up from the Skyhawks !!

NBA All-Star reserves are announced tonight at 7 pm on TNT. Reserves are voted on by coaches.

Does Trae get selected?

That's pretty crazy.  Not sure it's real when they could have gone with SLC and avoided that, but i was also surprised that the Charlotte 'CLT' jerseys were real.   Of course i was surprised they called Brian Oliver 'B.O.' but i've gotten used to it.

That’s a nice lineup.  My heart is with Kevin, my head with Hield, my money with Simons.  Imma need AJ in that thang by 2025.

Same here. Trae Young is the most insane snub in All Star history.

What he should've done is be hurt.  Then his team losing wouldn't be blamed on him ....

So, like with Haliburton, the coaches could overlook the record and inferior numbers and he'd be fine.

'Cause being available to play is apparently frowned upon these days....

But the coaches complain about load management and players 'wanting to get paid to not play'.....

But they reward guys who load manage by continuing to vote for them for awards and allstar berths....

So I mean, what're we doing?  Rhymes with 'hypocrites'.

The Trae hate is seriously sickening.

Herro?!?  WTF.  Why would he even be considered this season?  He is 4th on his own team in Win Shares and only 0.1 more than Max Strus and Caleb Martin (#5 and #6 for the Heat).  (Trae is almost 2x better).  He would win both for being underwhelming with his play this year combined with having missed a quarter of the season.

For context, I'm surprised that twitterer was able to separate his lips from Miami Heat butt long enough to breathe.  He's an absolute heat homer so it's no surprise he's acting as PR guy for their players under the guise of jOUrnAliSM. 

It is insulting he didn't even list Trae in his de facto 'others receiving votes'.

But let's not gloss over his note on Jimi Buttler.  He's 'shown no interest'?  If that were Trae, the story is 'BWAH I CANT BELIEBIT.  HOW DARE HE NOT SHOW INTEREST, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH!!"

There are a different set of rules for Trae. I have accepted that.
