Both Lillard and the team were slumping badly during the coaches vote, so it's likely just a case of what have you done for me lately.

Rather Dame gets snubbed and doesn't get 3rd team All-NBA personally. That would be better for the franchise as then they don't have to pay him the bigger of the MAX in an extension. (And I know it is just Paul's money but it can affect luxury tax and getting other players)
Yeah and he needs one. Dame hasn't been all there lately. I want him to know that he must stay hungry at every opportunity
Even if he does get picked is it maybe still the best of both worlds? Looked at as pity pick almost? Only because of an injury?
Damian Lillard and DeMarcus Cousins have been left off the All-Star Game ... Jeff Teague, Klay Thompson and Jimmy Butler to make their All-Star debut
