Thru 9

PG - Ramon Sessions
SG - Nick Young
SF - Nicolas Batum
PF - Tyrus Thomas
C -  Spencer Hawes
Bench: James Harden, Marreese Speights, Anthony Morrow, JJ Redick, Yi ,Jordan Hill

What do you guys think?

I dont think theres any way you win more than 20 games honestly

I know that you are trying to go young, but the only member of your starting lineup that I think has a chance to be a top 30 player is Hawes

Harden, Speights, Hill...?

No, No and no.

...and how many top 30 players do we think the Griz have?  How about in 3 years....?

PG Conley    Foye     Collins
SG Pietrus   Azubuike
SF Green     Wright
PF Haslem    Love       Scali
C  Oden      Boone


INJ/Future trade bait for big time scorer: Ming



Only the C position is set as who is the starter.  All other positions are battles for minutes.


I am happy with this.  Only additions will be purchased draft picks.

At the end of 2009? 1, but then again, I only had one pick in the top 30. In three years? 3, maybe 4. Tony Parker, Brook Lopez and Rudy Gay. If Bargs makes another Jump, then its 4.

I like it for 2010-2011.

I think Roy already is one.  TP is no longer and no one else on your team really has much potential to be top 30.  Just my opinion.

My take on the western playoff picture:

After teams 1-2 there is a serious drop off:

1. Golden State Warriors
2: Buffalo Braves
3. Portland Crotonats
4. Phoenix Suns
5. Seattle Supersonics
6. Memphis Grizzlies
7. Utah jazz
8. Houston Rockets

Teams that just missed:

Dallas- There's a lot of talent, I just don't see how the pieces fit together.

Denver- No leader and no superstar until Yao comes back.

Minnesota- Zach Randolph is not a good sign, and I'm worried about Jameer's lack of a back upthis late in the draft.

Sacramento- The points are young, but exceptionally talented, and there's no one backing up the injury prone Chandler.

My two cents.

Why is Golden State first?

[RebusRankin]

Buffalo Braves:
PG: Chris Duhon
SG: Ray Allen
SF: Al Thornton
PF: Antawn Jamison
C: Dwight Howard
Bench: Linas Kleiza (sf/pf), Zaza Pachulia (pf/c),
Quentin Richardson (sg/sf), Sergio Rodriguez (pg).

I'm confused about two things. Do you have Brandon Roy? Because I don't know how he became a part of this. I don't see him on your sig. If he is, your team is obviously improved. I'm also confused how Tony Parker stopped being a top 30 player? He's arguably the second best point guard in the league and he's not a top 30 player? If you don't believe one of Rudy , brook or Bargs will make it, I don't think thats reasonable but you can at least justify it.

Ur going to say my team misses the playoff with the players I got

[KCattheStripe]

Why is Golden State first?

They have better players than you at 3 positions and they're deeper. It is close, but I think they're deeper and pack a stronger punch.

Yes, I don't think Chandler plays a whole season. I think you have excellent wing play, but I worry about you at point and the histories of injury and under achieving up front.

Obviously, we don't see it that way (we like how we match up with Golden State and Buffalo), but we respect your opinion, and look forward to seeing if your opinion changes at the 6th month mark.

True, your guys will either be in crutches or playoff hunts.

From the other thread:

Bulls versus Blazers.


CP3 destroys Bibby

we like Raja over Redd

Gerald Wallace = Rashard Lewis. One got out of seattle and gets paid more

Pau Gasol has a field day on Jermaine

Horford gets ten dunks a game beating Shaq down the court

Scola abuses Miller off the bench

Hill matches Delonte.

Portland will have a better 8-10 for when they're getting blown out.

Bulls will run the Blazers off the court. Lucky for the Blazers, they only have to play the Bulls twice.



Is this what you wanted kC?

As I said there...  I stopped reading after the Redd comment, because I assumed it was comedy.
