1. Deron Williams
2. Chris Paul
3. Derrick Rose
4. Rajon Rondo
5. Steve Nash

Power Forward

1. Pau Gasol

Idk how sure I am on some of these, but for now these are my picks. I think the Center list was the hardest to make.

Post up yours.

LET THE GAMES BEGIN BITCHES!!!



sry hayzoos for merging your topic but it was all on some preseason shit and we needed to keep shit moving and people can debate in here about your "preseason" top 5 at each position

if you have directv you have free league pass all week

pretty fuckin jacked for basketball and non stop speculation

this will be the last year i am in full on tank mode, i still expect 33 wins





depressed martell webster is out for 8 weeks.

watch darko have a very productive year

anthony tolliver is about to bust out

kevin love will average better numbers than jefferson did in 09

wes johnson, corey brewer will be so quick you'll say the wolves are the most athletic team in the league (youngest too)

future wolves roster:

Beasley -Brewer
Pek - Darko - Wesley
Rubio -Love-Webster

this is fast athletic basketball folks. this is why you move jefferson and avoid cousins. its great to have a low post scoring threat...

...but if he cant get back and guard anyone, or is too big to get back, then you dont fit our scheme.

the last 2 years shitty teams were drafting to rebuild and find talented replacements for their high priced stars. high priced stars that have failed to take their teams deep into the playoffs. free agency has been used to position for these replacements as well.

pacers: granger--> paul george, mcRoberts, hansbrough
sixers: iggudala --> ET
grizzlies: O.J. mayo --> xavier hank
bobcats: wallace--> g henderson, tyrus thomas
pistons: Taysean, Rip : stuckey, bynum, daye

wolves have accumulated assets but the Al Jefferson trade bring in the next star. you think the Bobcats, Hawks, Sixers or Pacers insisting on keeping their overpriced players when teams like the Heat, Celtics, and the Magic are going to be dominating the conference for the next how many years?
the two picks rec. for AL are huge, trade exemption cash, brewer, flynn, pekovic... all great bait for trading with other teams

jefferson trade was brilliant. kahn freed up time for more youngsters to grow, Love will replace Al's #s, beasley is here

knowing the team wasn't going to contend for a championship why trade for another superstar??????
kahn , top gm in league, swapped jefferson out for the option to deal with more teams, with different players, at different positions.

Raps will finish 22-60

Finally.

ALL CAPS BASKETBALL SEASON

Going to Warriors opening day tomorrow! Sitting in a lux box for my homie's b-day. Gonna be watching game 1 of the WS while there too. It's gonna be the highlight of the season because they'll lose 50 games this year. But I'm still fucking stoked.

That looks about right. Maybe more assists and slightly less points.
If wade goes down for a long period of time (which i'm guessing he will) , That shit'll be more like 31-8-9.

Go Bulls.

23-9-6

he averaged 8.6 assists last year with a bunch of bums, now he gets some teammates and he's going to drop to 6assists? I guess he might only play 28mpg or something, but he's going to be the point guard on the team
