    Dame was out when the all star voting started. So he was way down on the list when he came back and fans didn't have last season's highlights in their mind because Dame didn't have any. Then when Dame got back and started dominating fans started voting for him but because the NBA has that dumbass system where every IP address can vote every day, there was no way Dame was going to make up the difference between him and the guys who had been putting up big numbers or who were leading their team to a bunch of wins.

    My question is, are we sure that a substitute starter defaults to the votes? If so do you have a link?

    Dame was not this level of player when the majority of voting happened

    That's cool... I mean it sounds legit, it's uncool that Dame won't get to start but if SGA is starting he's going to get subbed out pretty quickly.

    If that is true the Blazers need to figure out a way to make this guy their starting center.

    SGA is from Hamilton, Ontario - near Toronto - so he has all of Canada voting for him, most likely.

    Why do we need a mediocre 6'8'' wing/undersized PF?

    Cuz he's a good defender and rebounder and can switch effectively onto guards. I like the idea of him playing backup C

    The problem is matching his bloated salary.
