Should the Suns pull out of the All-star game??

Should Amare and Nash pull out of the all-star festivities and spend the days working with Shaq? Nothing crazy, but just some light workouts to help integrate him into the lineup?

I know most players not involved take a break, but this could be valuable time working w/ Shaq.

i dont think they're allowed to pull out, infact im certain they cant (part of the players collective bargaining agreement) unless they have a problem or something (Raja pulled out of the 3pt shootout a couple of years ago i think)

Nash has just been named to the 3-point shooting contest, too.

To pull out of the all-star game, it has to be an injury-- and if you claim one, I think you have to miss the following five games.

I have never heard of that. I even remember a few years ago, Shaq misses because of a nagging injury, but did not miss any games after that. I think it was 02 or 03.
