Do the nets have a chance at resigning humphries?

Either way I like the nets better as long as Lopez is healthy.

Johnson, Crash and Deron are all good scorers who will pass the ball and do other things.  NYK is full of players who just like to score.

I'm not sold on the Knicks new line-up yet. I am not very sure that they can all mesh together. Everyone seems to just be a scorer. 

Well I guess I'm not 100% sold on the Nets line-up either, but I think they at least know what roles each player has. Deron is gonna facilitate and score. Johnson is gonna score. Crash will work in the fast breaks, crash the boards, and defend. Lopez is will score when he gets the ball tossed to him. And the foreign guy is probably just a role player who hopefully plays hard enough to ignite some fire.
 
I vote Nets. However, I need to see some action before I can put either of these teams in the title contention area.

Wow, I'm the only one that picked the Knicks?

The Nets won't be able to rebound at all once Humphries leaves. Deron Joe Johnson and Wallace are good/decent defenders but they have nothing at the back end to prevent people from getting to the hoop. The Knicks will be better defensively with just as much scoring.

Kidd and Camby will have such a huge impact on chemistry this season that the team will be unrecognizable.

Kidd is HoF bound, and Camby is like Tall-Yoda. Those guys will add a lot of unselfish play and wisdom to a team that lacked it last year.

If KG and Pierce slip even a little the Knicks have a chance to win the division.

Knicks, and for me its not even close. Knicks will be legit next season. I think they will finally figure it out. Not with Lin starting the 1, Kidd needs that job unless Amare becomes 6th man.
