And it’s not looking too good for Deron.

The good news is that Steve Nash has overtaken Tracy McGrady for second place in voting.  If you haven’t figured it out, that’s good because T-Mac won’t be stealing a spot on the team this season should the current voting hold up.  But as it looks like Deron will need to get in via the coaches’ vote, having Nash get one of the starting spots means that Deron has a better chance to get selected given that players like Chris Paul, Jason Kidd, and Chauncey Billups will all be vying for spots.

So the coaches could select two backup PGs.  If T-Mac steal a spot, then Nash would have to get voted in and that would leave only one spot likely from amongst the remaining PGs.

We’re still voting though and trying to bump Deron up some.  I’m working on a plan for the second phase of things when the coaches take over.  It will be ready to go when we hear the starters announced because the coaches don’t have that long to vote.  Heck, we may even try to get it going before the first team is announced.

Thanks for your support and votes.  I know Deron appreciates it.
