How do you build a roster after paying a player $80m?

Tatum over Brunson is....lazy
I like the way they disclosed the voting. While its "3" teams its top 15 and not by position anymore.
JB was 6th. This kid is also an Allstar for the first time!!!!! All in one season.
Given that Knicks finished 2nd one might say (Doris had said this) perhaps he should have finished ahead of Giannis.
Are we blaming the "NBA" for not putting him further up?
Writers and broadcasters vote, not "NBA". Celtics were best team and he is their best player.
Might be "Lazy" on their part but its also a full season and while Jalen really bought it when it counted, so did others for a full season.
Recall Melo was an Allstar one year and he sucked. Players get usually miss a year on the way up but then get it on the way down in the same manner?
JB been defying logic for years now. Good for him and good for us he has!!!!
Haliburton was 3red team but way down in the voting. Media loves this guy!
Two years in a row we placed players on the top 15. Randle and Brunson!!!
Stat wise, Brunson over Tatum is a terrible look, but I'm not completely upset with it.
The biggest snub was J. Brown. that's a travesty. If you felt compelled to vote Tatum 1st team, over Brunson, because Boston had the best NBA record this season, how could you vote in 2 Suns and 2 Lakers, over Brown, with mediocre records?
...and Sabonis. I think he is a superb player, but I have a hard time seeing him as a Top 15 in the NBA. Is he even the best player on his team?
I can't stand the guy but I'm starting to pity T.Young. The amount of disrespect this kid is getting from fans and media is wild

Thaddeus or Trae? LOL......
I think the rise of Derrick white and having Jrue Holiday might have diluted Brown's rep just a bit to get knocked off.
Jalen made a very nice 1st time appearance at number 6!

Others receiving votes
Burns a bit knowing Brunson is #6 and 368 votes compared to 75 for Haliburton and he is not on the Olympic team. He is the SECOND highest American vote getter!!!!!
I hope he gets a spot perhaps due to injury?

Thaddeus…who’s Trae?
Does Brunson’s game translate well to international play?

I get JB played the FIBA tournament with the less than 1A American NBA players and we did not win.
Despite the "Smiley Joy" Hali plays with, I get why his inclusion was installed months ago. Pass first guard with really good length and can shoot.
And I get others have paid their dues in international play prior. NO issues other than the voting that just occurred that measures JB's elevation as the second highest American so honored in this past season. Surely he deserves a spot? Since Olympics only come every 4 years its not like he can just do it next year.
What's crazy is top 4 players are non American. No issues BTW. The depth of the Canadian and French national teams are really impressive.
He's great. I also think the 1st and 2nd team were the top 10 guys which is nice. I think the 3rd team is a little sus
