ALL Star Game?

[go nets]

Now that Kidd has been traded to the West and he was voted by the fans to start in East, what will happen now“ Do you guys think he will still start for the East? Will he join the Western conference roster but not start?

West. And if he has more votes than then 1st or 2nd guard I think he would start. You're supposed to move w/ your votes if traded pre-asg.

West and now AI goes to the bench.

Oh and Hedo can get another change at the All Star game.

interesting. this question was asked during last nights game on ask the announcers segment and marv albert didnt have an answer for it. he said most likely kidd would just start for the east regardless of a trade happening, he a couldnt recall a situation like this ever happening

 

[cpawfan]

The NBA will have to make a decision. Until they do it is all speculation

 

[hustler]

Billups will be named starter and hopefully either Calderon, Hedo, or Allen will be replacing him.

 

[Universe]

So Kidd kicks someone off the team? Ouch.

 

[go nets]

i hope he still starts for the East, but that would be wierd

I'll try to find the article that had the information from this weekend, but it said the NBA would cross that bridge when it came to it.

[BasX]

that would be helpful and give us some insight on how they might handle this. let us know what you find

 

[BasX]

found on RealGM and sounds exactly of what i remember

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (yucatan87)</div><div class='quotemain'>The precedent was set in the NHL in 2003. The Florida Panthers were the host team of the all-star game. 3 days before the game, they traded their only all-star representative Sandis Ozolinsh to Anaheim (A Western Conference team). Ozolinsh went to the skills competition wearing a generic jersey, not his team jersey like all the other players. He still played on the Eastern team in the all-star game, but was introduced as a Anaheim Mighty Duck.</div>

 

[Kidd Karma]

Kidd is off the east, can't be wearing all star garb with Nets symbol on the uni. Don't know if he gets to sit with the west though. AI lost his east votes a year ago, finished 3rd in the western guard race. in checking the votes. Kidd finishes 2nd in the west if the votes transfer, bumping AI.......the plot thickens.

It'll only be right if Chauncey replaces Kidd.

 

[BasX]

Chauncey will start if they move Kidd to the West, no doubt and you gotta think Jose will get the nod, just because of another PG getting in, Turkoglu will get snubbed again because he's a forward and i could see Allen there too, but it depends if they want another PG

Assuming kidd starts, AI goes to the bench (or even if Kidd goes to the bench and AI still starts), that would give the west 13 players. Maybe they east picks up a player to replace Kidd, and then another extra so its 13 vs 13.

I can't see them kicking someone off the team, and I can't really see them letting one team have more players on it.

 

[F1ash]

Ray Allen would be put into the starting lineup if Kidd moves over b/c Allen had the next highest total of votes for guards in the east.

Guards: Dwyane Wade (Mia) 1,608,260; Jason Kidd (NJ) 1,246,386; Ray Allen (Bos) 1,061,740

Obviously the east would get to choose another player to match the West's 13... BTW, Caron isn't playing in the game either, so it looks like the East will have to add 2 additional players, assuming this is the case...

Thanks. I was just about to look for that!

Obviously, Ray Ray starts, Which is fair IMO. I'd be okay with that, even if Hedo didn't make it.

 

[cpawfan]

Ray Allen isn't even on the All Star team now. How in the hell does he suddenly jump the players that are already on the roster?

I thought it was the next player in voting starts. Am I completely wrong with that?

 

[hustler]

I'm not sure if vote matters in this situation.

 

[hustler]

I think what cpaw meant was how does Ray Allen all of a sudden become a STARTER when he's not even on the allstar roster.
Makes sense to me.

exactly, but its up to stern, he may keep kidd in the east, especially since its very close to the all-star game

 

[hustler]

^ That would be gay. And you know it.

[Ryan]

This happened a couple years ago in baseball when Beltran got traded to the Astros, if I remember correctly. He played the ASG for the national league and was the starter.

Fans vote for the starters. That's why it made sense to me. Ray Allen is next in voting...
