I'm better than Atlanta....jeesh, they are turrible...

You, Washington and Atlanta are all in the same boat imo. All very similar, borderline Playoff/Lotto, but I rank yours below the other two that's all.

I guess with five more years I really shouldn't care...but I am tired of losing dammit.....

I'd try to take trade Webber, but I know I would get people saying they like him, but aren't willing to give up their stud youth.

[donatello2424]

But hopefully I will have some cap space next season and could grab another nice player to pair with webber.

Wow sweet article, now do the West.

[lakersgm1]

I don't think it is the best read on my team.

I think finishing 2nd to last in the east would be great for you me.

[lakersgm1]

I think there is a good chance I can be a late playoff team.

turns out Celtics may be good...(and I am avoiding reading anything into my preseason...damn you Sam Cassell, poor Chauncey's Skull...)

Preseason is always misleading, but then, like I've said already, I could be wrong with my rankings. Just opinions is all.

If I have time I will but this took far longer than I thought it would, and I still got given a +1 vote from someone.

Preseason was after that post. I just think that I have a solid, young group that can compete.

[Tigertecz]

Cool. Good luck. I think you'll need more established talent to compete, but then, feel free to prove me wrong.

People... VOTE!!

I think I deserve to be considered a contender but I can't really argue with the logic behind it. I lost some depth and my lack of activity in the offseason is a large reason why. I didn't sign anyone to the MLE which was dumb and my front court is anemic.

I really couldn't ante up the money for Ratliff (even though my offer wasn't far off from what he got) but in all honestly I know he is always going to be the player he currently is and I think he's replaceable. Problem is that I didn't replace him.

I need to focus on next offseason pretty hard because its going to make or break my hopefulness to become a dynasty.

Cleveland has a very talented veteran backcourt, a very raw frontcourt, and are weak at the SF spot. That just about sums up the Cavs. If they can gel together well though the team may cause a few upsets in the postseason. They do need an upgrade at the 3 though, because right now they are some way off competing. If their bigs were a few years older and into their prime, they’d be in a strong position combined with their current backcourt... but by the time they do hit their primes, the Andersons may be well past theirs. Time seems to be Cleveland’s biggest issue!

good analysis. we definitely want to move a couple of our depth guys to upgrade the SF position.
