So we'll get to mock trade deadline part two in a little bit but with the all-star draft happening tomorrow or being released tomorrow Danny and I wanted to do our own all-star draft we flip the coin he is LeBron James and he's got the first pick among the starters and then I will be Steph Curry I love the first pick among the reserves and we're gonna make the assumption here that all of these players are gonna actually try so the idea of like go who would be better in all-star games saying we're forgetting about that we're

pretending that these teams actually are gonna play each other that they actually like have time to prepare and it's not just like oh let's pick all the warriors because they know each other and they'll win because it's on like a one days notice or so we're trying to actually make like real NBA teams out of these players so however I will note that I will make some interpersonal base decisions in my own as LeBron James I feel that's what he will and do periodically it is not the sole determining factor but it is a part of it yeah

no I mean that's true you got to manage all the personalities I probably won't think about that as much because I'm a robot okay so Danny you have first pick here whom shall you select there are certainly a lot of good options but what I'm looking for I want to I want to have the ball in my hands a fair amount but I also want other players that can score I think that's the definitive thing the

also game while people are gonna try there's certainly gonna try a whole lot more on offense than defense and I enjoy putting the knife in a little bit so I'm taking chem to rant yeah probably the guy that most people would say it is at least the third best player in the NBA so they're really

already are not very many guys left who can actually guard either K.D. or LeBron so I've got Steph Curry I've got the best offensive player in basketball I'm gonna go with Yanis and

a Kumpo as just one of the few guys left who who can guard either K.D. or LeBron that that's certainly a fair choice I kind of assumed you were going to go with one or the

other but that also leaves me with the the other guy that I was most interested in of this group and that is Anthony Davis I think A.D. can do a lot of

different things out there he can be up he can be a four he can be a five gives us a long front court I think he'll catch a lot of my

lobs and it'll be a part of the team without taking too many touches though of course we'll give him as many as he

wants also it keeps him away from Steph and Curry which we think is good in terms of them creating a super team with him in three

years oh man well that definitely makes things difficult for me A.D. would have been my next pick as well and I

just in terms of athleticism you know I'm just not sure how my team is gonna catch up at this point and I

think what I'm gonna do I have a very difficult decision right now I don't want to tell you who the other

person I'm deciding is once I select between these two players I think I'm gonna go with Clay Thompson you have

to take all the starters first you can't go into the back oh shit that's right oh man so who the hell is

even a star I totally even eliminated that let me open your stuff again here yeah I created a doc for this oh man

you know what yeah I guess I still would have taken Yannis anyway he's a starter so I had totally

forgotten about that oh I totally blew my strategy Steph Curry would have been more prepared than I was

I think I'm already I've already lost here with you getting first pick so who's left here among the

starters I've got DeMarcus cousins DeMar de Rosen Joil and P James Harden Kyrie Irving I think I've

just got to go with Harden is just so much better of a player than any of those other guys damn it

that's who I wanted but that's that's not a surprise um I so they're in for me this is one where
