Zion needs a breather after 5 minutes and 2 points.

[Tigeraholic1]

Zion to locker room 4 minutes into 3rd. He has 4 points.

Harris, Ivey, this year's 1st round pick.

jordan poole has always been a joke.  a very expensive joke.

If defense mattered in an All-Star game, Stewart would have to be seriously considered. The guy is a game changer...

[Deleterious]

Love Stew, but he isn't one of the 12 best players in the conference.

[Deleterious]

That is a game I expect Ivey to take over, and he never even showed up.  

7 points on 2-5 shooting.  He didn't take a shot inside the 3PT line tonight.  1 assist 3 TO's no blocks or steals.  

I have a feeling there are a lot of DNP-CD's in his future once the trade deadline passes.

He can't beat anyone off the dribble anymore and without that speed he's just a poor defender who's solid at shooting catch and shoot threes (but not off the dribble). At this point I'd rather see Daniss, Sasser, or Chaz out there.

On a related note, I was happy that I didn't have to watch LaVert play in this game.

at this point they will probably re-up ivey after the season because he will be really cheap to re-sign.

something seems weird. Maybe Ivey was one of those guys who was doomed to outgrow his pre-adult quickness when he got to his twenties, because a broken fibula is not an injury that should create that kind of deficit - unless there was more to it.

Defensively? He's a top defender.

he had multiple leg injuries, that's what happened.

That doesn't make him one of the 12 best players.  Ausar is a better defender and nobody wants him in the ASG.

The most likely scenario is he plays on his qualifying offer next season.  It will be between $13 and $14 million, one year deal, he is an unrestricted FA after next season.  

We have half a season left so he could turn it around.  But right now I couldn't imagine giving him a multi-year deal at $10 million per.  He isn't worth it.

would appear so.
