    It is obvious that if we want to compete for a championship next year we need this team to work their ass' off. I strongly believe that LA and wallace will remain the big 1, 2 for our team next year, but after that.. i can't peg who will stand out and have a great year. We know Oden and Roy are coming back from injuries, but can they get past that to really thrive? We have seen great times from both. Then you have Batum and Matthews. They had a pretty good season, but i don't know if they will make the jump this year from good defenders and role players, to leathal offensive threats night in and night out. Felton and Smith are new to the team, and i think there is a chance one of them can do a good job at PG. What are your thoughts on what everyone will do?

    Alright, in my opinion i feel oden and felton will stand out for this team. Oden HAS to do it. If he gets injured again he is done here, and he knows that. I see him playing like any aother players do in contract years (cuz he is in that boat now). As for felton he is coming in to a new team and doesn't know the offense. That isn't a good combo, but he has played with wallace a lot in the past. So i see them playing off each other a lot this next year. Felton will be quicker than miller was, and i feel it will help him more on both sides of the court. The biggest help for him will be the fact that he is on a team with great defenders and he is able to take a fewer more chances.

    That keeps me up at night as well. I think because when he shot in the low post, he would is and back the guy down, and Stotts wants to avoid ISOs and much as possible. BUT WHY if he is so good at it? LMA is a really really smart player, and he kn...

    Maniac he does not need play in Summer League. He does need to toughen up a lot and become more efficient.

    That''s because Bosh has a good defensive coach. Also, Bosh is a more effective mid range shooter than LMA, because he only takes good wide open shots. I think if he was the number one option and took as many shots as LMA, or had to set up his own...

    I watched Shabazz at the combine and he was a poor shooter.  In fact he did  so bad he did not even show up for drills in day two.  He may be a scorer not a shooter.  If he throws up enough shots he scores.  If someone looks a...
