		<description>the most frustrating team, in terms of being a decent team and never improving, is the wiz. im sick of hearing taht all they need is a healthy big three, but that team is a donut team and will enver win anything unless it gets an enforcer in the middle. they need a junk yard dog.

it gets worse when gil gets selfish and decides to ask for more money when the team needs to have trade felxability. they also have a ton of unproven young guys...who wont be moved due to their potential. 

i&#039;d try to draft a good efficient pg (gil&#039;s got hal a knee and ad is getting old) like ty lawson. then start trading the excess baggage for a a nasty pf/c....whihc also pretty much doesnt exist. 


teh second most frustrating team is the bulls. they were so close to being an elite team and then last year happened.  might as well start to semi-rebuild with rose being the face of the team/superstar/court leader. trade hinrich, gordon and somehow move gooden or deng.

they&#039;ll loose games but they&#039;ll have the peices for a superstar free agent in a couple of years or anothr good pick up in the draft.</description>

		<description>SPURS should trade Finley, Barry and some other scrub for Arenas.  Make the Wizards revolve around Caron and those shooters. The Spurs will get a selfish proven scorer, which is what they sorely lacked this season. Parker and Ginobili bust their asses, but they play way too many minutes. We need 26 year old Agent Zero to pare down our established stars minutes, to help stay fresh for the playoffs.</description>

		<description>Spurs:

Let Horry go.  Resign Fin and Bones (minimums).

Draft Mario Chalmers with 26th pick
Draft Joey Dorsey with 2nd round pick

Whatever money, championship power, and overall drawing power is left (Timmy, Manu, TP), lure JOSH SMITH (you&#039;re the future) from ATL!

Sorry Kurt, I like you, I really do...</description>

		<description>My Fav team is the bulls...

First draft D-Rose.... nobody on our team is better pg than him.... 

if you dont draft him i heard a rumor of the first pic and  nocioni for Conley, gay, and mike miller.... i would definatly go for that... 

Secondly trade a few guards for a post player. possibly Zach Randolph for hinirich or Hughes and a throw in player

D-Rose would make everyone better... especially tyrus Thomas. i see d rose being his cp3 and him being chandler... he blocks shots and get rebounds when he gets tick, and would get his points off oops and other set ups.

just get some of those guards off the team asap, make room for a great pg..</description>

		<description>Celtics: 

Moves to make -

1 - Let Tony Allen walk. His game had a lot of upside a little while ago, but the injury kinda ran him into a brick wall.  

2 - If Cassell is a part of the team, it will be an assistant on the bench. He will have a bigger influence in developing Rondo from the bench instead of trying to tell Rondo what he should do as a good PG and then gunning everytime he steps on the floor. Like telling your kids not to drink while you&#039;re tossin&#039; one back

3 - Scott Pollard is wasting a roster spot as long as we have PJ Brown. Get rid of Pollard and beg PJ to stay another year. 

4 - Too much to type in regards to Brian Scal...basically, get rid of him and his contract, some how...some way

5 - I&#039;d keep E.House because we need another dependable shooter besides Ray (PP&#039;s long ball is not automatic and Posey has to be set for 2 secs before he gets his off). I can&#039;t speak much on Gabe Pruitt b/c I don&#039;t know his game like that so if he&#039;s better than House, obviously keep him instead.

As we all know, folks like migrating to winners so we&#039;ll get some interesting folks to fill the open roster spots. We definitely need to get a Ron Artest like (size and defensive mindset) who can guard the 1-3 spots. We don&#039;t have a shutdown wing defender to compliment was KG brings to the defense in the paint. Rondo plays great D, but he&#039;s undersized. 
As far as developmental needs, I&#039;d have Rondo watching all kinds of shooting tapes, running shooting drills, catching and shooting (from passes out of the post) and pull-ups. A good 3-ball would do soooo much for his game and our team right now. 

Kendrick Perkins needs it hammered into his head that he doesn&#039;t need to take a power dribble or drop step every time he catches a pass in the paint. KG hit him with nice high-low passes all the time, but his hesitation gives the D a chance to come foul (where he usually misses one if not both freebies). Dude stops taking that extra second, he&#039;ll get at least 6 more ppg.</description>

		<description>I take back what I said yesterday about Cassell and Eddie House (post 30).  Keep Eddie House, let Sam walk.  He can go to the Nuggets, where he&#039;ll be in heaven with AI and &#039;Melo taking turns jacking up ill-advised shots without the thought of a pass...</description>
