Don't some players have clauses in their contracts to get a bonus for ASG appearances?

Yes. Kyrie Irving lost 7-10 million due to not being an ASG starter because the 'Derrick Rose Rule'.

After what Lillard did to San Antonio in they building and what he did to Westbrook and the Thunder in their building he has to be a lock. Dropping 40 in both those games on the road is impressive. Taking over the game in triple OT then bringing Portland back from being down 10 points with 1:30 to go. That is what all-stars do. This shooting slump shouldn't decide a thing.

If he doesn't make it I'll be surprised. I really don't even care. Klay Thompson could get his spot for all I care. ASG is a waste of energy.

He didn't make it despite being better than last year. It just shows how good the players are in the Western Conference. Also, Tim Duncan making it over DeMarcus Cousins is absolutely idiotic. Cousins is arguably better than Marc Gasol this season.

He'll be Kobe's replacement most likely. I hope he is on the team but still feels snubbed and goes to work as if he wasn't on the squad.

He should be pissed...about how awful his shooting has been of late and that Portland has gone 4-6 in their last 10 games. Is it even surprising that he wasn't included? He got cold at the wrong time and the team stalled, not much more to it.

LMA missed time and he didn't capitalized on that to show he was ASG-worthy. the Blazers had a losing record without LMA.
