I really cannot wait to post my press conference. Just can't wait. Epic is a word that comes to mind.

Temporary technical difficulties. Internet has been in and out all day.

And no chance I can manage this on the iPhone.

Sowy. But will be back ASAP, looking forward to getting into it.

The man can't even run a press conference, how's he supposed to run a whole team?  Last place vote from me.  8)

1. Houston
2. Memphis
3. Dallas
4. San Antonio
5. New Orleans

1. Memphis
2. Houston
3. Dallas
4. San Antonio
5. New Orleans

Only Reason Houston doesnt get the nod is because im not thrilled that 6 of their bench players are rookies

Three votes, three different teams in first.  I've got it:

1) Dallas
2) Memphis
3a.) Houston
3b.) San Antonio
5) New Orleans

I think Houston is closer to fourth than they are to first.  Six rookies, a 37 year old small forward, plus two players playing out of their true position, doesn't add up to a title contender to me.

We agree on 4-5 anyways, however I definitley like SA for team of the future, I think any team with Derrick Rose has to get consideration for that

I like Kobe, Houston and Dallas in this division. The Mavs will have some trouble defensively (especially at the 2), but I really like what he put together.

San Antonio:

1) I'm having a really hard time deciding between your team and Houston.  Why are you better?

2) What type of offense do you intend to run?

3) Is Kirilenko as emotionally weak as many (i.e., me) think he is?

I think SA affected their team of the future when trading Mayo, they look more stuck in middle, IMO.

I think that Dallas might have a strong regular season and win the division, but in the playoffs Memphis and Houston might pose greater danger.

Regarding Houston,I'm curious to see how Randolph and the rookies develop and if Powe is back come the playoffs. Due to having JJ in the backcourt with Monta and Augustin on the roster, I'm not that concerned about their pg position. In fact if they really want to get wild and crazy I could see a line-up of Augustin, Monta, JJ, Nocioni, and Bosh at times on the floor.

The way I see it

1) Dallas
2) SA  (I think AK has to start)
3) N.O.  (Kobe factor)
4) Houston
5) Memphis


4 and 5 were the hardest two to decide.

No matter who makes the playoffs though, I really don't see them getting out of the 1st round.

And why not start AK over Barnes.  Better defender.  Always a starter on a better team vs. a reserve on a weaker team.  Better rebounder.

What's the rule for team of the future? If you are a contender you are not eligible? Is that it? B/c I'd assume several future teams would love CP3, Kevin Martin, Al Horford, Anderson, JJ, Daye, Buddinger, etc
