    Stern had to give something back to Houston for the veto.

    I agree with this article to say the least. Rockets fans wearing durant, lebron jerseys is the norm.

    What does not having a superstar have to do with hosting an all-star game?

    he didn't say anything bad about houston, just that he thinks portland portland deserves an allstar game. i agree with him, though i think kyle will make it next year so we'll have representation.

    It's about money--the all-star game needs to go to an arena that can sell lots of tickets and bring about the right atmosphere.

    Houston can bring that.

    What part of that confused you? We were getting the all-star game next year before the trade was vetoed. That seems pretty straightforward.

    Maybe he's confused because it wasn't "officially" announced until later. But yeah, we knew we were getting the ASG well before the nixed trade.
