Part of it is cash and part of it is ego. Perhaps a Harden or Westbrook can woo a Love, Green, or Thompson. I think all those guys would care.
An idea to discourage super teams and make the All-Star Game more competitive

I just can't sign off on that. That would make a guy like Aldridge an all-star over Anthony Davis. I get rewarding winning, but it also puts a huge penalty for anyone trying to help a bad team. Do we punish Davis because his GM is terrible at his job?

The same thing could be achieved by limiting each team to max of 2 All Stars
Or over Deandre Jordan. Nevertheless, I think the all stars itself is insignificant, and I'm not concerned about how this affects it. I am more interested in its effect on the actual game.
Yeah, but players obviously do place significance on it. I'd just put a max cap on all stars per team at 2, but impose no all-star minimum of any kind.

The fact that the players care is what makes this interesting. Might be a significant equalizer for small market teams.
Are you saying NBA players don't care about charity?

The only good idea here is the 10 min quarters. I don't think you can fix the game. Don't try. It is what it is. In fact, embrace it. More alley oops, less defense. 40 minute game. Put a max minute allotment of 20 mins. Let the guys run around, shoot threes and get dunks.

Adam Silver is not very fond of what the All Star game has turned into too. Good to know.

Wouldn't this also punish the GM when Davis leaves because of stuff like this?
I say just pay a huge sum to the players on the winning team, say 1M or more. The losing team gets their expenses paid an no more. So say 35K. The difference in payout should make the game more competitive.

I like that, combine it with virtually no money for the losing team and a huge payday for the winning team and the All-star game may be watchable again.
