The Perpetual NBA Thread

Consider this scenario... Laker's don't trade Shaq... do you think that Shaq is gonna walk away from $30+ Mil and becomes a FA? I doubt it, but with shaq you'l never know... also will the team that trades for Shaq give him the 60+ Mil extention he seeks?

Look for Yao to ave. around 20 and 10... and McGrady to ave. around 25, 7 and 5 and the rockets to win 50 to 55 games. Well just my prediction

but they still have to get a playmaking point (Derek Fisher?)

di ako bilib kay tyrone, sana kunin din nila si Nash para power house na talaga!!!!

if the rockets still have the dough, yeah, i hope they'll go after Nash. Then they'll have a new rockets fan here hehe.

nah, nash is looking for big money and long contract and rockets sure doesnt want to go too deep for that.

Houston made themselves an explosive team with the addition of T-Mac and Juwan Howard. These 2 players gave their starting five an upgrade at PF and SG spots. Tyronn Lue is no Steve Francis but he'll do well as heir starting PG. Jim Jackson will still keep his SF spot.

Still Houston has not addressed their need for a big man to serve as Yao's backup. With Cato gone, the only big player they have is Maurice Taylor who is a natural PF. For sure there will still be offseason personnel movements in the Rocket's lineup.

looking at the Magic's roster, it really shows their need for a center. Cato is not the center Orlando doesn't want to start. He's more of a back-up center and so is DeClerq. They're hoping Dwight Howard can play like Marcus Camby type of center. This frontcourt problem could have been somewhat solved if they got Okafor at 1st pick.

The Francis and Mobley tandem gives Orlando the killer backcourt. Damn I almost forgot that they have Grant Hill in their lineup. This is intersting, doc says he's ready play. For how long, i don't know.
