Your right owners don't pick the all star team. The fans choose the starters and the 14 players left are selected by the 30 NBA head coaches who choose seven from the Eastern and Western Conferences. Each coach can not choose their own players.

Having a ballet after this Saturday game to each coach to pick 5 or 10 players should not be to complicated. I assume. Then the best players in the league would be chosen to the team.

I believe that this wouldn't work as well in smaller divisions, because of activity reasons. This should e effective only for Division I, and people from all over the country (no matter what division they're in) can vote for the all-stars.

maybe the voting could start with a propose, basing on the algorithm they use for the ASD today. Inactive players don't change it and still make a "senseful" decision. Active teams could be choosing their players after their own criterias.

I see more problems, with silly elections maybe to give their own players higher chanches to play into the game or to sabotage the AllStarDay.

First, please apologize my poor english. ;)

I totally - word by word - agree to the posting of Tautis. I suggested the same on German board (last year and this year again) and the idea found full support by many BB managers.

Lots of advantages would be the result:
- more interactive features > more "customer loyalty" > more supporters
- more communication between managers
- everyone is proud of their allstar player(s)
- votings reward most active managers
- vivid, interesting all star day

Of course things like no voting for own player, computer votes for inactive managers, maybe today's calculation make 50% of the vote ... should be included.

Please, think about it.

Even Worst case .. managers vote bad players, would vitalize the ASD. But afaik everyone is proud of their best players and everyone wants to see the best players of the league. (Easily to prevent by voting only out of Top10 in every position ...)

I agree the system should be changed, and I think it is a very good idea to let the managers choose at least the backups of each team.
But I think the voting how it is atm penalizes teams with good backup players, because the minutes can be shared without heavy losses in the team's performance. If your team is that balanced you will never have any player in the statsleaders or voteleaders...
I personally think the beste solution would be a allstar ballot paper like it is used in the NBA. There are many differnet players for each position, but only the best of each team.

make the votes of managers public, and all lynch the fools not voting in a serious way..

We don't even have forum voting public:) I think that would create a superdrama.

Well I dont want to be sad here again, but I think that manager should have to do something first to have the right to vote. Like acceptance with that, then it would be at disposal (normally that would be done autmaticly). It is just because lot of managers just will not vote, because it is too much work. Just look at NT elections and real volume of users in that country.

The participation will not be 100 percent.

You are talking about published votes. I think that there has to be that - if anyone voted for your player, it has to be mentioned on players page (if you click on him) even for not involved users. This will create propagation of this feature and in advance propagation of your succesfull player.

Aditionally I think that there has to be during voting any list of players (sorted by wage or results, I dont know), with his name and team where he belongs, so you can look at them at one page and have life easier during voting.
