Happy All-Star weekend!
As we get excited for tonight’s festivities (and the game tomorrow, I suppose), I just wanted to check in with everyone and crowdsource some mailbag thoughts.
If you’ve got a burning NBA question, want some player or team thoughts, or have anything else you want to say, send a note my way in the comments or to mike@basketballpoetry.com. I’ll take a few and answer them to the best of my ability sometime next week.
Talk soon!

Do you think that the young talented teams should let their talent develop or package players into a trade deal to accelerate the rebuild process and focus on just one or two young players? (I guess this also depends on the marketability of certain teams too.)
There are some teams, even those with tight timelines, for whom a relatively deep playoff run would feel like a successful year (the Wolves get to the WCF and their fanbase is happy). Others, such as the Clippers, feel like they're championship or bust.
I'd love to see you attempt to determine who all the teams that NEED to win a championship this year are.
