8. Knicks
9. Bucks
10. Wizards
11. Raptors
12. Hawks
13. Magic
14. Bobcats
15. Pistons


Yes I know they're jacked up. Houston could very well be the worse team in the NBA if they stay how they are, which is certainly ot what they're trying to do. They're oblivously trying to still get a trade cause all the Rockets got are Bobcat players. Which stuck them in a bad situation. ot hopefully they ca squeeze outta that stupid 14th pick, or the doomed pick as I call it. 14th is awarded to the team that tried the hardest, but didn't make the POs. I think they've made a decisio in wether of going for POs or tanking like Bobcats for a tope-5. Looks like they're going top-5 ad stay way out of 17th Place i the NBA, hopefully in the 25+s

My team was going through a period of despair but we're back on tract and soon will be back to leauge 4. I'm 15-0 and the leauge i'm in now(V.186) has no chance to win. But A few things I see to this that I don't agree wit. Since the spurs have lost dejuan blair, i believe they will lack a true big man besides the big fundamental. I believe the only way the lakers can dethrone the thunder is if steve nash is the major ball handler. If kobe let's steve nash run the PG and he play a little more catch in shoot type of game, we will be unstopabble. IF the nets happen to get dwight which they probably will. D-Will, Joe Johnson, and Dwight crybaby will have to play 35 min. a game. They won't have a good bench, they won't have a sufficent 4 player. Truly I believe the whole deal is dumb especially for the Magic, but i think the Nets need 2 years like the heat to build a good bench so that they can contend. And there is no way the cavs make it to the playoffs( you'll have to explain that one). Finally, i feel sorry for sacramento. They get a good pick every year since tyreke evans but never do much. I believe this year with a budding Demarcus Cousins, and a healthy tyreke evans they will make noise around the 9th or 10th spot in the west.

The Nets will have Gerald Wallace still, as well as Jason Richardson and Earl Clark off the bench. They also have some European guys coming over, and we all know how that goes. Its either a huge hit, or a complete bust. So if they are hits, then the Nets could be better than the Heat.

Ok, I think Cavs have a chance cause they got good rooks. Maybe in a couple of years they'll make the playoffs again but right now I'll put them in the 9-11th category. I already explained that IF the Rockets stay how they are now with a Bobcat like roster, they can easily fall down to the top 3 picks in ext years' draft, annd potentially get oneof those star freshmen like Anthony Davis (A lot of fresh guys go in, so I have faith that 3 or 4 of them will be good.) Then with Nets, they'll contend, but maybe I put them too high, I'll put them in 4-7th. Hawks are looking like dong the Warriors idea, taking out all good guys to get a good pick. and the rockets are taking a lesson from Jordan and tank tank tank. Hopefully this time the Rockets can get an Olajuwon? Ah well, you can always DREAM but looks like there'll be no good center in the draft this year

No good centers huh. Nerlens Noel a CENTER was the #1 college recruit before Shabazz Muhammed who is a SG

Cody Zeller, Noel, Isaiah Austin, I've also heard that this guy from France named Rudy Gobert is supposed to be good (He has a 7'9" wingspan). Frankly, this will likely be a good year for centers. Plus there are some not top level guys, but could still be solid players like Jeff Withey, Trevor Mbakwe, and Patric Young.

The rockets will begin to rebuild once the dwight dream is over. They'll trade k-mart, and get a lottery for about 2 years. Even though they MAY get lin, it wont matter. He aint that great to me anyway. The Nets will make the playoffs but they'll be like a sorry version of the knicks. Be exciting barely make the playoffs and exit in the 1rst round. they need 2 years to establish a bench.( Yes they'll have richardson but you'll need more than that.)

I felt their draft.... got them 3 solid bench guys... or 1 almost usaeble starter and 2 solid bench guys.

yeah, but no Zeller, instead they got stupid White, IDK what Mchale thinks of him, but if he sucks,......fire Mchale. Should've gone with Zeller. Who would have a better career?
Zeller

Who would have a chance to be a starter?
Zeller

Who would be long term good?
Zeller

Who would be a benchwarmer?
White

Who would have a shorter career?
White

And who would be bad long term?
White.

Negative, just awful, awful pick by Houston. They let the pick fall to the Mavs (now the Cavs) White won't be a rocket for long..........
