    so if an all-star is traded from one conference to the other, does that mean he plays on his new conference's team during the all-star game?

    Was wondering the same thing. How would that work, considering there's only a certain number of roster spots available on each team.

    Really intrigued about this. Deserves it's own thread (serious).

    Hate that they moved up the Trade Deadline.

    1) On the sports calendar bumps it right in the same week as the SuperBowl.

    2) It lessens the time teams have to work things out in the season.

    3) What happens if an All Star gets traded across conference? Just awkward.



    This Silver quote doesn't make any sense to me.

    So what happens when Melo makes the Eastern All Star team then gets traded here?

    Earlier season start may help?

    Season will be starting one week earlier. So in reality they have the same amount of time.
