If we are talking about absences, the fact that Korver was not selected amongst the Eastern Conference All-Stars is a joke. They just didn't want to have four Hawks, who all deserve to be there, to take up all the spots. They needed to keep a couple for their poster boys like Irving and Wade. Frankly, the most undeserving person there is Melo, who was sadly voted in so there is little the coaches can do. The whole voting system is pretty pathetic and should be the first thing on the list of changes rather than opening up three more slots in the roster. I would have Lillard above CP3 on my list this season, but not much between the two so it's still a tight call. Durant really doesn't deserve to be there considering the amount of games he has missed....
