I was surfing the net today looking at teams that are going to be under the cap this summer and To me, the Detroit Pistons have the most interesting offseason ahead of them. Amazingly, they are in position to absorb a max contract even with Tay and Rip on the books! They could do what the Clippers did last summer and land a Tyson chandler, Shaq or even Amare for nothing! Short term contracts that will allow them to compete now while setting up for the future.

Is there any team that fascinates you going into the break? if so, who and why?

Phoenix - has to be Phoenix.  One way or another that team's getting blown up bigtime over the offseason, and I'm really interested to see where all the pieces land.

I have to add Utah to the mix. There two best power forwards will be on the market. Boozer had a really nice game last night, as did Milsap. Can they keep both?

OKC.  They already have a promising nucleus, and they can boost it further with their two first-rounders this year, whether by drafting or by trading the picks.  Also, they only have $41.6 million on the books next year, leaving them roughly $16 million to throw at free agents once they clear their cap holds.  They may save their space to make a run at somebody in the 2010 bumper crop or to attempt to hold the nucleus together when contracts start to expire, but they may also make a splash in the overlooked 2009 pool. 

You know, Rasheed Wallace would make a very interesting subplot on that team...

Toronto. Between the uncertainty surrounding Bosh, Marion coming off the books, and only roughly $46 million in guaranteed contracts, this is going to be a crucial offseason for the Raptors.
