WASHINGTON WIZARDS!

People are quick to say injuries shouldnt be used as excuses but i'd like to know how every other team in the NBA would go if they had at least the star player, a couple of main contributores plus a few key role players out injured all the way up until this far into the season.

Not very good is my guess.

Still lots of room for improvement but this is a team on the rise who have beat (whilst having half the team injured) good teams such as the heat, okc and denver.

Now let's talk Golden State Warriors. 25-15 and I daresay that Curry is as good a 3pt shooter, if not even better, than Ray Allen. David Lee's also a very good player, he would be starting at center in the ASG if fan votes weren't horribly biased towards the Lakers...

I hope Bogut gets healthy soon and remains healthy for the rest of the season and playoffs instead of getting another injury like he usually does, because it would be great to see an Aussie doing well at a relevant team again. Unless I'm mistaken, Luc Longley is the only aussie in the past to have been a successful player on a successful team... sure, Andrew Gaze has a ring but he only averaged 1 point a game off 32% FG that season.

I think Curry is a better spot up shooter than Ray Allen. However running off screens Ray Allen is tops

Aron baynes is joining SA. What do you guys think of him?

Once he gets use to the NBA he can become a quality player off the bench but then again, I've only seen him play for the boomers. Seemed that he needs to become more composed and a team like SA is the right place for him to learn become a better player.

Lakers lose 9 of last 11 games. Can they still make the PO?

The loss to the Bulls makes Kobe explode.

Pau Gasol on the bench replaced by Earl Clarke.
Dwight only getting 8 points and 9 rebounds as an all-star starting center for the West.
Bulls winning without its two leading scorers, Deng and Rose.

:)

Being a Bulls fan, thats make a very happy fan. Not far behind Miami aswell. So could get very interesting once Rose gets back to his best. My only worry is if players that been doing well off the bench will still get time once the Bulls are fully healthy. I believe its important for them to keep seeing a bit of time on the court, as it may give us an advantage in the future.

Irving needs to join the bulls in place for hamilton at sg, then we will win it all. Spewing he chose usa over boomers.

Implying that the bulls can acquire him without trading away one or more key players of their current line-up...

Irving playing at SG sounds good in theory though since he can score but has trouble getting assists and avoiding turnovers. Being a good point guard seems to be a weak point in his otherwise outstanding game...

it will never happen but in theory, Irving for Hamilton, Hinrich, cash and 1st round pick is possible.

At SG, lots of pressure taken of him which means less turnovers, plus he will still have good vision to get an assist. Will also make teams think harder in terms of hoe to defend us and Butler, Belinelli, Robinson, and Teague will still get their chances. If rose goes down again, replace him with Robinson (most likely atm) or Teague.

I'd take Irving as a PG and put Rose at SG imo

You must be stoned. Just comparing stats alone: Rose last season 7.9 assists 3.1 turnovers per game. Irving this season 5.7 assists 3.7 turnovers per game. On the other hand Rose last season 31.2% 3PT, Irving this season 39.9% 3PT. Numbers usually don't lie, so where's the logic behind putting what appears to be the better SG at PG and the better PG at SG?

It would take a lot more than that trash to acquire Irving.

Irving is a franchise point guard.

Rubbish like John Wall may be easy to get though..

one problem then becomes who defends an opponents taller guard? Irving is listed at 6'3" and only 191 pounds, Rose at 6'3" 190. Aside from the fact there is no way Rose is that tall, who would guard Kobe (6'6"), etc inside?
