ASG Candidates (Still early, I know)

[Guille]

I know it is still very early to be talking about the All Stars Game.

But, what the heck, let´s do it:

All Stars starters - West:

G: Chris Paul - Kobe Bryant
F: Blake Griffin - Durant
C: Gasol (either one)?

Reserves: G: Manu - Westbrook - F: Nowitzki F:Love

I got those as locks so far.

The other with chances:

West:
Portland: Aldridge
Houston: Lowry (Scola and Martin, only if something funky happens)
Memphis: Gasol - ZBo - Gay
Hornets: None
Spurs: Tony - Timmy (long shot)
Denver: Nene
Minnesotta: Only Love - Rubio Rookie challenge MVP
OKC: Harden (long shot - only if OKC is way high as #1 in the West)
Utah: None
Warriors: There´ll be buzz for Monta and Steph, but ultimately none
Clips: Other than CP3 and Blake none
LA Lakers: Kobe, Gasol and a maybe for Bynum
Phoenix: Nash as a salute to his career
Kings: None

All Stars starters - East:

G: Rose - Wade
F: Lebron - Garnett
C: Howard (albeit trade)

Reserves: Rondo - Deron Williams - Melo - Amare

I got those as locks so far.

The other with chances:

Boston: Pierce and Allen (they are who they are, so they will always have a shot)
New Jersey: They have four Williams, but only one can make it to the ASG: Deron
New York: Unless they somehow get the top seed come ASG time, only Melo and Amare. Chandler´s chances are if they are number one.
Philadelphia: None
Toronto: None (Toronto shouldn´t even have players in the ballot!!!)
Chicago: Noah; while Deng and Boozer are long shots
Cleveland: None
Detroit: None
Indiana: Granger
Milwaukee: Bogut
Atlanta: Johnson
Charlotte: None (I even giggled a little at the thought)
Miami: Big three and that´s it.
Orlando: Only Howard if not traded
Washington: None

Thoughts?

one of those 2 Knicks is going to be starting over KG in the Forward slot (as the ASG doesn't go by specific position). the other ones will be spot on imo.

MAYBE Duncan in the West if he's listing as a C

Duncan is done. Last year was his lifetime achievement award appearance.
