Curry out=? Fox in as Western All Star?

With Curry out for several weeks, perhaps Fox will be chosen to replace him as an All Star. He certainly deserves it.
 
if I'm Fox I'd decline but it looks cool on a resume and I'd imagine there is a bonus involved, if he is the choice of course
 
Pretty sure an all-star appearance triggers a bonus and a significant one, plus it makes him eligible for the super max or at least contributes towards that, doesn't it?

Also once you are an all-star getting the next nod becomes 100x easier. I mentioned it in another thread but once Mitch had his All Star MVP it opened up the floodgates for a guy who had one playoff appearance with a losing team on his NBA resume with the Kings.
 
With a new baby, I would not take a late "sorry" invitation. Playoffs more important. Screw the all-star game if he gets a late invitation
 
I can't imagine, in a league where financial bonuses are tied to individual achievements, a player having the mentality of, "If I don't get voted in, I don't want it!" That even sounds ridiculous.

not at all. it's all a matter of perspective. do you like getting participation points or trophies for simply trying?
 
I happen to think it's insulting to reduce a six-figure financial bonus and making me eligible for a super-max contract to "participation points," but your mileage obviously varies.

if those are the stipulations that the union has decided to conclude with then there is a flaw in the system but it all counts the same I suppose

I've looked at his contract situation, and I don't see anything that specifies a bonus with an All Star nod... are you thinking of All-NBA?

I believe that's something that was negotiated by the players union across the board. Please feel free to correct me.

Oh yeah, I guess you are right. All-Star players on the winning team receive 50k, players on the losing team receive 25k. Other than that, the only bonuses I see are ones specific to a player's contract, a la Sabonis

*edit: 100K per player on the winning team
