It was be a question of how much can they really retool. To challenge the top teams, they’re going to need a superstar. They aren’t going to be picking at the very top of the draft, they still have too much talent, so rule that out. They have to try to use their trade assets and cap space to get a Stoudemire or Bosh.

not sure how mark jackson qualifies as a “winner” from a coaching perspective. i would be pissed if i’m michael curry and jackson gets the job.

on the other hand, if this team is working things out and looking to grow back into a contender over the next couple of years, then jackson may be the guy to guide them…let him mature as the team matures.

cavs: 4, pistons: 0

choke on that.

Boney, your ability to prognosticate really seems to carry with it some doubt.

It’s gonna be a while before detroit really can make a real run again with the East being the way it is now. You better hope the Celtics blow up due to age, Lebron leaves Cleveland, and Orlando screwed up this offseason. Then you have the Hawks, even after your pickups…still BETTER than you. The Bulls, even without Gordon, still BETTER. The heat, well, we’ll see. You might have jumped them, but thats still open to debate. You’re still looking at bottom feeder playoff team (if that) to get smacked in the first round, and thats not gonna change for awhile. I’m sure eventually you guys will be good again, but right now, the the next FEW seasons, you’re just going to have take you’re medicine like everybody else.

Deal with it.
