Makes sense to me.</div>

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

When a starter is injured, they don't automatically take the next vote getter and plug him into the starting lineup

Billups will get the nod if Kidd doesn't play for the East. That much is obvious. I don't think votes play a part at all at this point. Somebody has to make it onto the team as a reserve and the league will make that decision themselves (like they did with Rasheed). I'm hoping Calderon makes it in, since a PG just left the team.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Kidd's trade at least allows the NBA to undo a grave injustice. Voted in as a starter in the East, Kidd would now presumably suit up with the West on Sunday.

To fill his vacated spot, the league could tab Toronto point guard Jose Calderon, whose ridiculous efficiency was somehow overlooked by Eastern Conference coaches when they chose the reserves. It would be a poetic justice, as it was Kidd's selection as a starter that effectively cost Calderon a much-deserved spot in the first place. -- Hollinger</div>

I'm going to predict a major blowout. (In Wests' favour)
Whether or not Kidd plays on the Eastern Conf.
