All-Star Reserves - Congratulations DeMar DeRozan!

Did you write this from the future?

i have a source, we'll leave it at that.

At the time of this post, there's 56% of those who voted that believe in Kyle + Demar will be called in as reserves. Safe to assume that the same 56% believe in unicorns, but I digress. I voted for Kyle.

Having said that, I prefer that Kyle not make it for the following reasons:

1. Angry (chip on my shoulder) Kyle = Good Kyle Lowry for the rest of the season + playoffs.
2. Cheaper on the new contract negotiations. All Star nod may add a mil or two per year. That could be costly.
3. Trading an all-star a week later doesn't look good on the franchise optically (now + in the near future when attracting free agents).
4. If Demar makes it, he is easier to move (in the off-season) given his All-Star status and the suddenly "bargain" contract that he's on.
5. Angry Lowry = Good Lowry

I've been a little sad about the prospects of Lowry not making the allstar team, because he totally deserves it as the raptors best and most influential player, but this is a nice positive spin on things. He would also get some much needed rest!

I don't believe in secret sources since Twitter was invented.

@ZachLowe_NBA One Eastern Conference guard has a higher PER than Kyle Lowry, and that player (Wade) has missed 13 games. (Yes, I'm preparing my snub rant)

I mentioned the same thing about Ross w/r/t the rookie/soph game, but...

Imagine the tear K-Low goes on if he gets snubbed from the ASG? He might average a triple-double for the rest of the year.

well he has a backup plan...

Lowry would love to make all-star game, but said "believe me, I have a backup plan." said he'd be on a beach if it doesn't go his way

I was thinking the same thing. A mad Lowry is an extremely productive Lowry.

DeRozan says he thinks it is "obvious" he should make it. Lowry in usual apathetic form

DeRozan on all-star possibility: "Not to be cocky... but it's obvious."

Hope DeRo and Raps fans aren't disappointed.

I've always had this sense Derozan thinks he's better than he really is. He seems himself as a Wade or Kobe Jr. almost, like a LEAD guy. And that's fine, but Lowry has a way better grasp of his place and the media's view of his place in the NBA.

Agreed. It happened because the TO hype machine needed someone after Bosh left.

I like the way JV's been handled. Not thrust into too large a roll, held accountable, but still given time to develop.
