While I agree with Ghoti that it's still alittle early, I'm really enjoying reading y'all's assessments.</p>

What's the plural you possessive? </p>
 
ZAE's team is horribly overrated.

</p> Don't worry about my team, do philosophy hw.
 
<div align="center">Southeast Division</div><div align="center"></div><div align="left">Atlanta Hawks:</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">The Hawks are a poorly constructed team featuring players that don't defend and need the ball in their hands to be effective. Ben Gordon isn't a very good point. Hopefully Durant turns into a franchise player someday. This team is way too young and its players don't complement one another at all. The Hawks are a lock for the lottery.</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">Charlotte Bobcats:</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">This team can run and is solid defensively. Halfcourt offense will be an adventure. McDyess isn't good for more than 25 minutes and it remains to be seen whether Scola will be an effective NBA player. Parker is a terrific player who can shoot and defend and Paul is a superb talent. The backcourt is strong with excellent leadership and perimeter defense. This team blends old and young but doesn't have a player that can take over a game offensively. With a strong defense and running game, the Bobcats should fight for one of the last playoff spots.</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">Miami Heat:</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">This team is comprised of all young guys. Obviously it has no chance to win anything right now other than the lottery and is a 20 win team tops. Some veteran leadership is needed so this team doesn't fail completely. All of the young players have bright futures. If kept together, this team can be very good in the future. </div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">Orlando Magic:</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">The Magic are another of the division's poorly constructed teams and will struggle on both ends of the floor. With the exception of Rodriguez, the team is all shoot first players with little defensive ability and no size. Unless Marvin Williams suddenly plays like he should've been drafted ahead of Paul and Williams, and that is highly doubtful, this is a lottery team with no future.</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">Washington Wizards:</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">This team will win the division by default even though it is unspectacular. Brad Miller is coming off a horrendous season and Grant Hill is on his last legs. Neither should play big minutes. TJ Ford is an erratic, turnover prone player who can't shoot, finish, or defend and is best utilized in an up tempo system. He's not a very good fit here. Obviously Ginobili and Duncan are fantastic and will keep this team in the playoffs and atop the division, but much more help is needed if the Wiz are to seriously contend.</div>
 
</p>

I think we can beat out the Magic.</p>

Tim Duncan is still the best player in the NBA, but that team is asking him to do way too much. He's not young and the Spurs always are careful to limit his minutes and responsibility so he can be 100% when it really counts. The Magic can't do that and still make the playoffs.</p>

It's tough to build a contender without a top 10 pick, but I think Paul, Biedrins and Granger have a very bright future together and make a tough team right now. </p>

Also, don't underestimate Scola in the halfcourt. He isn't as strong as advertised and he's somewhat undersized, but he's very cagey and experienced and is effective operating in the post.</p>
 
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (lukewarmplay)</div><div class='quotemain'>

To me, the elite teams seem to be the Rockets, Pistons, Utah, Wizards (despite having Brad Miller), Golden State, in that general order. I don't consider injury-prone-ness, but do consider injuries. Real has some work to do to back up Miller and Hill. </p>

I don't have the same love everyone else does for Philly- I think they're great, but Belinelli was almost as bad a pick as Shelden, and I have concerns over Bosh's current injured status. Obviously it depends on how the bench fills out. Milwaukee's also up there, as are the Clippers and Bobcats (thanks to Scola being able to spell the 89 year old McDyess). I'd put these 4 in the next tier for now.
</p>

Cleveland's got a weird mix, and I'm looking forward to seeing how the bench develops. </p>

</p></div>

</p>

wooooo i'm an elite team! </p>

and i still haven't gotten a strong inside presence (other than haslem)</p>

You have a collection of really good players, but you constructed a team that can't win.</p>

It's very unlikely you would make the playoffs. Your team is very easy to gameplan against. </p>

That's an interesting assessment, even though Tim Duncan doesn't play for the Magic.</p>

OK. It doesn't change because it's the fake Wizards instead of the fake Magic!</p>

ghoti has a nicely contructed team, winning this year is probably out of the question, but the foundation is there.
 
Thoughts on my team.</p>

PG - Mike Bibby</p>

SG - Jason Kapono</p>

SF - Rudy Gay</p>

PF - Amare Stoudemire</p>

C - Eddy Curry</p>

</p>

No defense.</p>

</p>
 
That's my team's weak spot.</p>

But Rudy Gay plays some defence atleast.</p>
 
Yea, but Curry, Bibby, & Kapono are all terrible!</p>

</p>

I did like the Gay pick.</p>

Word Up. </p>

</p>
 
Some teams that I like-</p>

Philadelphia- Traded up a lot to get four real good starters. GK is confident he can fill his bench. I like the Harpring pick. But his bench and starting two guard may both be liabilities.</p>

Utah- Melo and Yao w/ a good but not great backcourt. I like the Villanueva pick. KC has done a good job.</p>

Minnesota- Taking Lebron James first is easy, but putting Brandon Roy with him is a great fit. Ridnour is a good player, and Jeff Green fits in well w/ the team, but he still needs a true power forward, imo.</p>

New Orleans- I like all of the first four picks, and Nenad was an absolute steal. I think Law is okay as long as he gets another player that has experience running the point.</p>

Milwaukee has a good team but lacks a real go-to-guy,imo.</p>There are some other good teams, but these are the ones that stood out to me. A few teams have a lot of potential for the future.
 
Thoughts on my team?</p>

Billups</p>

Giricek</p>

Posey/Maggete</p>

I really like Billups and Maggette, but you don't want me to go much farther.</p>

cpawfan loves Nene, so maybe he'll give you some props if he doesn't notice JO there.</p>

</p>

Not sure what Giricek's doing on the team, let alone in the starting line-up. Outside of that, it seems pretty solid. I actually like the way it all fits together. It's going to be tough to pick up a bench of any signifigance, tho. </p>
