    HUH... How are you going to decline him then invite him after the fact? Plus why the hell did he call them when he said its a waste of time anyways?

    Congrats! It is a huge honor and a testament to how great Lillard is.

    Lillard declined, then wanted back in.

    Coach K said sure.

    I'm wondering if he feels like, being left off the All-Star team, he needs this as an opportunity to rub elbows with the other stars.

    Which overrated point guard will beat him out for a spot this time? Kyrie? Rose?

    Makes me wonder if he actually made the call, or it's them saving face, since they realize how well he's playing.

    I'm going with the latter.

    So you think they lied and said Damian called them? lol

    Lillard will explain everything later. But its weird to me he says "If I'm going to invest myself in something I want to have a real opportunity at it and the last time that I did that I felt like the decision was already made before the decision was made. Whether I played good or bad I didn't feel like it mattered."

    Then reportedly calls them and asks for a spot..

    It should make him better defensively. I doubt he makes the team, however, unless there are injuries

    None, I imagine. We hashed out in an earlier thread who probably belongs on the team, and I don't see anyone that we picked before who should get bumped for Lillard.

    This is all about Dame lobbying to bring free agents to Portland

    Not sure if that will work... isn't it later in the summer? Free agency starts in early July.
