2009 Celticsblog Draft: Voting Analysis : Team of the Future

[johnnyrondo]

Yep, we're definately hanging around the 8,9,10 range, then come January this team will get the respect it deserves, I tell ya!

It's that darn Mo Swine flu. I think you'll make it though KC. 7th or 8th though. U ain't winning the division without Raja

Haha.  Well, at least I had you in the playoffs, unlike some other purple-wearing GMs.

It's hard, though, picking the 7 through 12 seeds in each conference.  Realistically, any of them could make the playoffs if things went right, and all could fall to the cellar if things went terribly wrong.

1. Seattle
2. Buffalo
3. Dallas
4. Portland
5. Sacramento
6. Phoniex
7. Golden State

9. Houston
10. Memphis
11. Minnesota
12. Denver
13. San Antonio
14. New Orleans
15. Las Vegas

What went into picking Seattle over Portland?

Portland has question marks with both Oneal's and I like seattle's team a little bit better

HAHAHA, true. The only problem is that Grizzlies and Tigers are natural enemies:
I'm HOW old?

You'll note the stranglehold.

Well, I guess we'll have to prove you wrong at the halfway point, too.  Both O'Neals will be fine this season, like they were last season, I think.  Still, we're willing to wait until February to convince you.

Man, I'll need more beer just to forget the fact tha I drank PBR.

I went to the Legion in my GF's home town, a small tiny place near parish Ny (and you don't know where that is). The barenter asked what I wanted. I said "Sam Adams". He said nope. I said what do ya got? he said. PBR.

That was the last tiem I paid for a PBR.

Hey if someone can name a team that had 2 legit all stars and failed to make the playoffs both of whom havent had any injury problems to speak of...so they should be around for the whole season. So take that into consideration when voting.

Well normally people are allstars when their teams win games, I don't see that happening when you starting center is Thabeet and your back up is 6'8".

The Wizards were pretty terrible this year and both Butler and Jamison were all-stars.

A assume you're talking about where you ranked Houston/Memphis/Minnesota?

Well played. And I'd argue that both of their All Stars are better than Sac Town's.

Well in Washinton's case, I think Roy is better than Butler and Hedo can be more valueable than Jamison in the right system.

But Hedo isn't even an All-star.

And as far as Houston goes, while I think Roy is better than Joe Johnson, I think Johnson/Bosh is the best inside outside combo we have in the fake CBL.

[riah32]

my back up is dante cunningham and or Sean Marks, big baby is 6'9 and thats worked for the celtics with leon powe. As far as washington goes butler being an all star is a fluke plus they had more injuires last year than any team in the past.
