Pours salt on the wounds. Mikal Bridges is not named, but Clarke and Paschall are...

Deandre Ayton will play for the World Team in Rising Stars game.

Devin Booker about the All-Star process.

Monty Williams about Devin Booker not being selected as an All-Star.

From everything I have read Booker is pretty level headed on not making the all star team.

Look for him to ask for a trade to the Washington Mystics. No later than the trade dead line.

 

[Mainstreet]

Monty seems to take a jab at other Western Conference coaches. Good for him.

More Williams: “It’s a shame. When you look at the system, the way these guys are picked, he’s probably a casualty of that. It’s pretty clear that the Western Conference coaches didn’t value what he brought to the table, and that’s disappointing.” #Suns

A preemptive strike. I like it!.

Just listening to James Jones on the way in to work. He made me really angry. His response to the Booker snub was a mealy mouthed "that's the way it goes sometimes" and when asked about who on the all-star team should be behind Book he said that they all deserve to be on the team

STAND UP FOR YOUR FREAKING GUY JAMES JONES! THATS WHAT HIS COACH AND GM SHOULD DO! HIS TEAMMATES AND COACHES AND FRONT OFFICE PEOPLE SHOULD BE RAISING HOLY HELL.

What a wuss.

Naw he can’t badmouth other players or beat up the coaches. Remember he has to maintain good relationships with all of them for future opportunities. I think he stood up for Book enough. His teammates should be vocal. Glad Trae said something.

Monty may have landed the best counter punch as noted in post #107.

Deandre Ayton will play for the World Team in Rising Stars game.

That would’ve been another travesty. He player well there last year

I'm glad this was averted.

Sure, let's draw more attention to it. Always good to keep his focus on the negative.

Always good to show support, especially for your star player.

 

[BC867]

Pours salt on the wounds. Mikal Bridges is not named, but Clarke and Paschall are...

He would have a better chance if he had been starting.

Instead he was benched after his breakout offensive game
and who knows now after his masterful defensive game vs.
Doncic?

If his own team doesn't honor him, why should the league?

Nothing but net.

 

[GatorAZ]

For selfish reasons I’m kind of excited to see what Book has in store after missing out. I think he would’ve balled out like the first half regardless but still... My popcorn is heated, salted and ready in bowl.

 

[Chaplin]

Always good to show support, especially for your star player.

Not being angry or screaming about the snub isn’t the same as not supporting the player.

 

[1Sun]

Well, Doug Franz just expressed the same concern on KTAR.

And Bickley, Burns, Gambo and Kellen Olsen just followed suit.

This is gaining big traction.

 

[leclerc]

I think he definitely deserves it in front of both Mitchell and Westbrook. As Cartman so eloquently puts it, screw you guys, I'm going home.

I thought the same thing

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Would have been nice for Ayton to publicly state he isn't playing in the futures game since Booker isn't playing in the all star game

I don't think anyone would care and I think the Suns need all of the national exposure it can get. Unless we get flexed, we have no more national games this season.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Eh I think it would be a big story. Also supporting your star when you missing all those games probably cost him the spot would be nice

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Good grief he didn’t make it. I was pissed at first too. Look at the stats and records of the guys who made it over him. Tough to argue. When we win more games next year he’ll make it. No in the team should sacrifice whining about him. He got a phat contract. That’s enough for now.

 

[Proximo]

Honestly I doubt they would even mention it on the broadcast.

If they did they would just say how disrespectful it was of Ayton to turn down the invitation.
