The Bulls still sitting at the 8 seed is amazing.  This is the biggest shit show I've seen in quite a while.

Shoot i didnt even realize chris paul was snubbed. That's clearly cause he was injured. Guess the coaches didn't care enough to reward him with the appearance anyways

Why would the coaches put someone in that they knew wasn't going to be available to play? Its a waste of a vote

because when he retires he will have that one extra appearance and he gets to hang out and do all star stuff in the place where his career started

Hes only missed like 4 games since his new injury

Deserves the award. Just stupid

Plus im pretty sure they get paid for being named an all star

Per the Chicago Tribune:

“Every team has issues,” Forman said, “and it’s our strong belief that when you have issues or critical comments that you keep those issues or critical comments in house, that it is not shared through (reporters), that it is not shared through social media. […] It’s not how we want to operate. It is totally unacceptable, and we made it very clear to the players that were involved that it’s unacceptable. It’s a distraction that’s not needed. I think it’s a detriment to team growth. We have visited with the players that spoke out at length and we have dealt with that internally. We’ve also visited with our team and we’ve talked about the issue with our entire team.”
 
“I’m a professional,” Wade said. “I have a professional relationship with anybody who I need to and I have to. I have no problem. I’ve been a big supporter with Rondo out in the public eye with what he’s been dealing with and being taken out of the starting lineup and how he’s handled it. I have no issues, no problems with Rondo at all.”
 
“Dwyane is who he is,” Rondo said. “His name speaks for itself. He’s done so many great things for this league and for the teams he’s played for. Dwyane leads his way. I lead my way. The young guys got to say what they wanted to say today, and that’s the biggest thing. We spoke as a team. A lot of guys that don’t have much to say or don’t have as big a voice, everyone had the same platform this morning and we got to talk it out.”

Fuck all this "leader" bullshit.  Where the hell is Hoiberg in all this?  He should be the one leading these fucks.

What's a good comparison for Jabari? His post game reminds me a bit of Melo's.

Report: Bulls considered buying out Rondo after Instagram post
 
 
Rajon Rondo's future in Chicago remains in limbo.
 
The Bulls were so angered by Rondo's recent Instagram post that they strongly considered buying out the remainder of the point guard's contract, sources tell Joe Cowley of The Chicago-Sun Times.
 
Rondo created a stir on Thursday when he put teammates Jimmy Butler and Dwyane Wade on blast, questioning their leadership abilities in a now-infamous social media post. All three players have since been fined.
 
The 6-foot-1 guard has seen little court time since his benching last month, playing less than 20 minutes in each of his last four contests. The Bulls are reportedly looking to shop Rondo prior to next month's trade deadline, but could have a difficult time finding a suitable partner given his poor play and history.
Should the Bulls choose to buy out Rondo, they'd have to eat the remainder of his 2016-17 contract as well as $3 million of next year's salary.
The Kentucky product is averaging 6.4 points, 6.5 assists, and 5.4 rebounds on just 36.4 percent shooting in 38 games this season.
