When I saw the Kings roster on-screen before the draft, I said aloud that I felt sorry for the poor rookie getting to start with Francisco Garcia. Where as the Wolves have Jefferson and Love anchoring down low. As far as rookie pg's, I'd rather coach Jonny Flynn than Tyreke Evans - on attitude alone.

That jumper from 20 feet opens up the inside for Oden, if he starts taking advantage of that then it's easy buckets for him. LA is young so I think he'll get better in certain areas of his game, for now I think he's a excellent PF to team up with a rugged center. @ G4R,

Being pig headed doesn't get you Chips on either end...Wade is going to get paid barring injury, but the fact that he has had to major injuries makes me feel he will probably re-sign...

BUT as DIME said you put him next to a true center (Like MAYBE Oden) and he is the perfect complimentary post player.. Personally i think he has hit his ceiling unless he starts banging more.. Scola punked him in the playoffs.. But then again Scola was Argentinas best kept secret.. Aldridge shows signs of being a MONSTER but after that he resorts to jump shooting..

Hopefully that made sense but basically big men are hard to come by these days so if a team has one that is remotely skilled, that dude is gonna make bank...

Kazaam on the otherhand...and Spacejam will always be my top 3 favorite basketball-movie crossover just for the fact MJ and Bugs was in it (and a cameo by THE other MJ who I also like). Aldridge is crap. I dont see him dominating consistently nor do I see him as a beast. They could do better with their money than spend it on this guy. He's on the softer side of a power forward. In the end, D Wade wins. I give myself a Duh for this one. I cant say the same for his outstanding suits though. There was nothing wrong with Blue Chips, I liked that movie.
