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 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."Stop eating your sushi."

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

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 like the way JV's been handled. Not thrust into too large a roll, held accountable, but still given time to develop."Bruno?
Heh, if he is in the D-league still in a few years I will be surprised.
He's terrible."

Hope you're wrong.
