let's forget Tony Parker this time(i have the feeling he'll be invited).
So,in the above pic who you think deserves Houston invitation as reserves-WC team?
All deserve it, but because Camby's missed a significant amount of the season, I'd say he's passed over.
Nash, Parker
Bryant, Allen
McGrady, Marion
Duncan, Brand, Dirk, Garnett
Yao, Pau
If any frontcourt player gets injured or sits out, then Carmelo gets the spot. If any guard goes out, then I think Richardson, Davis or Bibby gets the spot. Of the three, I think Bibby is the most deserving from a numbers standpoint.
what happens if steve nash gets shot or brakes his own ankle or something.......then would manu start on his place since he got the 3RD BEST amount of votes in the guard position?
Wow, I just went through this discussion on a Pistons board; I thought the rules were common knowledge. The Commish appoints a replacement. Stern doesn't have to choose another guard, he doesn't work off of the fan voting. Steve Nash will still be listed as a part of the 2006 All-Star team, even though he didn't play. Avery Johnson would choose who would start in Nash's place.
Recent replacements:
Elton Brand for Shaquille O'Neal in 2001-02.
Antonio Davis for Theo Ratliff in 2000-01.
Latrell Sprewell for Grant Hill in 2000-01.

G - Tony Parker

F - Elton Brand
C - Pau Gasol
W - Carmelo Anthony
W - Shawn Marion
Jipped:
KG: I love da Kid, my favorite non-Piston in the NBA, but your Conference is loaded with forwards, and your team sucks.

Pau is listed as a center.
Thanks. I changed the post.
Gutsy call on Carmelo over KG. It should probably be that way, I just don't think Carmelo is to the point where he can knock out an MVP from an All-Star game.
Oh how I wish China and Houston didn't have thir heads up their asses and fingers on the vote button in reguards to Yao. McGrady has played more and better when playing, so I'll excuse it, but Yao, this year, is a joke. He's missed close to half the season and is not better than Pau. Switch Duncan to center, and add Carmelo as the extra forward. Oh well...
WC reserves:
G - Tony Parker
G - Chris Paul (I don't think he'll get it but he should)
F - Dirk Nowitzki
F - Kevin Garnett
C - Pau Gasol
W - Elton Brand
W - Shawn Marion
Carmelo deserves to go because he has great stats and his team is winning, but I think he'll be the odd man out.
They'll probably give Ray Allen the second guard spot, but they shouldn't -- Sonics suck.
C - Pau Gasol
..before i forget, may i know how many vacant spots they need to fill in for each WC/EC teams?
2 Guards, 2 Forwards, 1 center, and 2 wild cards (any position).C - Pau Gasol
..before i forget, may i know how many vacant spots they need to fill in for each WC/EC teams?
In the East, Jermaine O'Neal definitely has to be replaced; he will not play. Allen Iverson may have to sit out, but that's less certain.
Where the is Rasho???
He should be 2nd center in west team.
WTF?
Is Camby out of the game?
Marcus Camby has the same problem as Manu, misssed a lot of games due to injury, has only started playing again in the past week or so.

... only 28 games played in 05/06 out of 48 Nuggets games.
He has certainly had All-Star numbers.
