    here is the link to the discusion they had. They brought up a lot of good points, like i don't see our back court being as strong as it needs to be to win a title. I don't agree with the chances they were giving us to get to the western conference finals in the next few years.. With teams like LAL, SAS, and DAL getting old and quite possibly falling off, that leaves OKC and MAYBE utah and denver above us.. I could see us rising to the top 2 in the west in the next couple years.

    Read the article. Interesting analysis. I think Mathews and Batum have either All-Star or near all star potential. Aldridge already is one. Felton is a total wild card. Camby does good things on the floor, and Roy and Oden are wild cards. Gerald Wallace is a smooth piece, another All Star potential. I don't think we are there right now, but we'll be competitive. We need another solid piece and I think if Roy and Oden were healthy we'd be right there competing with the elite of the Western Conference. I think we are being underrrated, but I agree it's hard to see a championship, but honestly, that's not easy to predict either.

    We could possibly take McCollum with the 10th pick and trade him to the kings for Marcus Thornton. I would personally prefer if we kept McCollum because he can give us scoring off the bench and he will bring that maturity of having been in college...

    Pat Riley said this: You get rebounds, you win rings!!! More often than not, the team who wins the battle on the boards will win the game. Rebounds on both ends are extremely important.

    What happens if we don''t win? Dwight will start his nonsense, we would be out a lot of money, and with no real talent to show for it. San Antonio and Memphis is proof that you don''t need superstars to win.

    You trolling Cmeese? I mean I hate how biased it is. If a woman slaps a man, people will probably be like what did that b*stard do, probably cheated on her, that pig. But if a man slaps a woman, even if it is completely justified, OMG abuse, 2013 ...

    Special K, aren''t you a cereal? And yes, Batum is expensive, but I think he''s worth it. Why would you take someone who isn''t is as good, just for less money. Then why don''t we take the worst possible player and pay him the least possible amoun...
