If Bynum was traded for Dwight? Would each be available to represent the opposite conference? Or would they both have to sit out?

Also if they both sit out, does DJ become the starter with the second most votes?

i thought there was talk about this with Iverson a few years back

if i remember correctly…the player would still play for the team they were voted (picked) for.

so if Bynum goes east, he will still start for the West (and as a Laker i believe)

i think it has something to do with the player being voted/picked during the time in which they are with their pre-traded team

This is quite interesting...

The Western Conference starters are expected to be Andrew Bynum, Kobe Bryant, Chris Paul, Kevin Durant and Blake Griffin. (Yes, four players whose teams play home games in Los Angeles. And all four deserve it.)

I wonder if they'd fight during the game?!

And there’s a brawl on the floor… Wait a minute it’s two west all stars fighting against each other!

actually Kobe has mad respect for those guys

like how CP3 is a serious mean dude on the court….off the court he’s really chill and know’s whats up. a nice guy. Kobe is actually the same way

and while Blake is still young and figuring it out…he doesn’t have a big head and knows how to respect others

Bynum on the other hand…………………………………………………..

Kobe and Paul have mutual respect.

Kobe respects Paul tenacity and his determination to win at all costs. Paul respects Kobe enough to let him rub his head (I believe Kobe one time pulled a Pau and CP3 didnt like it, but he had the respect to let it happen anyways).

I think Kevin Love should start at Center.
