This is a hugely important offesason for Da Bull.
Noccioni a RFA. Gap to fill in the middle. The draft was ok. Took best player available in Noah. Got some decent fliers in the 2nd round with big man Aaron Gray and sharpshooter JamesOn Curry. This leaves us with lots of good depth and role players heading into next year, with the obvious need for a scoring low block player. Clearly Paxson's biggest task this year is to fill that need. He's got a proven track record of quality drafting (Deng, Gordon, Hinrich, Thomas, Sefalosha, Duhon) and now needs to show he can make a quality trade with someone other than Isaiah Thomas. For those who may have forgotten, 2.5 years ago I had an open wager taking Da Bull to go further in the 2007/2008 playoffs than the team of one's choice, for $100. The takers all selected the Spurs. Right now I think I'm in good shape. Da Bull should improve and will have a decent shot at getting to the ECF. Meanwhile the Spurs will have a similar situation to last year in all likelihood, namely a road series against Dallas or PHX to get that far. The bet is really close heading into this year. Good start to the offseason so far in the draft, time for some good trades/signings. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Kind of weird that nobody went for or even mentioned the Mavericks in that old thread.

[/ QUOTE ] Deng >> Lewis in the long run. He just turned 22. I'm a Durant skeptic, but it's hard to think that he doesn't have a higher ceiling than Deng. I'd trade Deng for Durant. |
