Drummond/Monroe/Cousins?

Oh lawd...

Notorious

There's no way Detroit gets Cousins without giving up one of Monroe/Drummond.

And I'm not even a Pistons fan but I'd be highly pissed if they trade Drummond.

you a bitch.

calling you out.

not really.


but you said you more wanted content in this thread, and less one-line posts about the favorite teams, etc...and such.

so anyway, EVERYONE, let's discuss a topic. who is the best player to never make an all-star team? let's say modern times, so just players drafted in 2002 or recent.

Players drafted since 2002...

I'd have to say Josh Smith.

Smith is a nice shoutout.

averaging about 16 ppg, 8 rpg, 2.5 apg, and 2 bpg the past 7 years.

he's no LUOL DENG. who was going to be my vote until i remembered that he made the AS game last year. fux!

Smith should've made the All-Star Game last year. A damn shame he didn't.

I'd consider anyone in the NBA to still be considered in "modern times," so my vote goes to Lamar Odom.

Conforming to your criteria, I'd say Ben Gordon ('06-'08), Al Jefferson, Josh Smith, Kevin Martin, Monta Ellis, Rudy Gay, etc...

There's some other guys that are just starting to really show what they can be (Holiday/Curry/LARRY SANDERS/etc.)

Edit: Roy had a setback with his knees and is out for an unknown amount of time.

Martin and Monta never really were All-Star caliber players, they just scored a lot of points on mediocre teams, especially Monta.

Odom only had one season where I think he could've been an All-Star and that was 2010-11.

I'm going to agree...Martin and Monta ain't shit.

Ben Gordon was really good. Especially in DRose's first year. He was the dude in Chicago for a solid 3 years.

2010-11? Why?

'00-'01: 17.2 Points, 7.8 Rebounds, 5.2 Assists, 1 Steal, 1.6 Blocks
'03-'04: 17.1 Points, 9.7 Rebounds, 4.1 Assists, 1.1 Steals. 0.6 Blocks
'06-'07: 15.9 Points, 9.8 Rebounds, 4.8 Assists, 0.9 Steals, 0.6 Blocks

There's a couple of years where he averaged 10+ rebounds, but his scoring and assist numbers weren't at up to par with some of his other great years.

Edit: IDK, I was just going through lists of drafted players and mentioning anyone who have had good numbers. Could make a case for Brook Lopez as well, I suppose.
