I like the idea its creative and innovative, but it kind of sucks because if a team has never had a classic series with the Bulls then their not on the list. I mean how did the 95 Bulls and Knicks make it on this game but not the 95 Rockets or Magic. And I would honestly perfer the 94 Knicks over the 95 Knicks being that they made it to the finals, but thats just me. IDK maybe there will be more later on but if not for 2k12 they should make it like the old Madden games where you can play with any classic team. I would like the Showtime Lakers, 92-93 Suns, and any Pacer team with Reggie Miller and Mark Jackson.

My bad I ment instincts It happens just look at guys like Shaq and Grant Hill. We could use the excuse that their old and have injury problem's which may have a little something to do with it but at their still playing. However they still have great I.Q. which allows them to continue play for so many years. As for what you were saying maybe your just more defensive oreintated than offensive, kind of like how I am. I'm good offensivley and can shot and drive but I'm kind of one diminsional (I play alot of pick up games to while you actually play real ball so that may have alot to do with my offense.). Defensivley though I'm kind of like you as well I like to get into my oppenent's head and play hardball, alot of it has to do with the fact that i've played football for so many years. So my best advice to you is just continue to develop and play your game, not saying their's nothing wrong with wanting to be the next Kobe or LeBron but if that's not you then just go out and ball the best way you can. Sometimes it's not about who's the best but who's the smartest which is why I say I.Q. over instinct's. But it's nothing wrong at all trusting your instinct's.

Give me I.Q. over instects anyday. Instects are good but will only last for so long with some players but I.Q last forever. But for Defense I would say a little of both.

1. Heat (If the Heat can get a good enough bench then they could easily get the #1 seed.) 2. Magic (The Magic have gotten used to this spot so I don't see them falling any lower. However if the Magic want to contend they will need a true PF because Rashard Lewis playing next to Howard as a PF isn't gonna cut it.) 3. Celtics (The Celtics showed the true meaning that basketball is not a race but a marathon. They were not the best team in the East or NBA but the did make it to the finals. It will be kind of tough for them to start the season off with Perkins in the line up, but with the free agent signing of Jermaine O'Neal to fill in while Perkins is out will help out alot.) 4. Bulls (With the edition of Carlos Boozer and adding sharpshooters in Kyle Korver and possibly J.J. Redick the Bulls will be a much better team. I can't exactly say were they will be this season but I'm going to say they will end up being the #4 or #5 seed thi season.) 5. Hawks (The Hawks just signed Joe Johnson back for another 6 years so I think the Hawks will be a #4 or #5 seed.) 6. Bucks (They Bucks made major moves, and if it wasn't for the Bulls aquiring Booz, Johnson signing back with Atlanta, and LeBron joining the Super Heat, then I would have actually put them alot higher. 7. Knicks (I may be putting the Knicks up a little high but Stoud is a major improvment from Lee. I can't say they will exactly be the 7th seed maybe they will be 8th but they will definitely make a playoff run.) 8. Bobcats (I can't really say to much for the Bobcat's other than I feel they will be one of the many teams fighting for the 8th spot.) 9. Cavs (I honestly don't see the Cavs being as bad as many people believe they will be. Now thats not to say they will be a playoff team or make it to the finals like Dan Gilbert think's but they could make a run for the 8th seed this year. With leBron gone a bunch of players must step up and some trades must happen "see ya Delonte West". 10. Wizards (I think they could also be a team who could be an 8th seed. With Arena's coming back and of course the #1 pick in John Wall they can definitely make an impact.) 11. Pistons (The Pistons is another team who could make a run for the 8th seed but first they need to go on ahead and find new homes for Rip, Ben, and Prince and start young and fresh.) 12. Pacers (The Pacers didn't address to much in the offseason even though it isn't over yet but I can tell nothing is going to happen. However they did get Paul George who I feel is a good pick up but the question is, is he their to play next to Granger or is he Granger's replacement. Also the Pacers still need another PG so I really don't see them doing any better than last year. Maybe more wins but thats about it.) 13. Raptors (Their going to fell the effect of Chris Bosh leaving but this will be Bargnani's chance to show why he was picked #1 a couple of years ago. Obviously I don't see this team going to the playoff's but like I said if Bargnani play's like a #1 pick then they will be good for the future.) 14. Nets (The Net's will once again not make it to the playoffs but at least they won't be 10-72 this season are the worst team in the NBA this year. Favors will make an impact the the Nets truley need and Lopez could possibly be an all star.) 15. Sixers (I've liked Philly since the A.I. days but I got a filling they will be the worst in the East. They have good young players but I see a bunch of changes happening. I can see both Iggy and Brand being traded which would leave Turner with big shoes to fill in.)

1. Lakers (Until the Lakers are dethroned they are the #1 team on the West) 2. Thunder (Alot of people may say I'm overrating the Thunder but I honestly believe the Thunder can get the #2 seed. I felt they played the Lakers the best out of all the western teams including the Suns, and Durant and Westbrook will only continue to get better. Their already a good team all they need are big men and they will be scary. They addressed it with Cole Aldrich in the draft at the Center spot I'm guessing he will play so all they need is a true PF. And I've heard the Thunder plans on trading Jeff Green. 3. Mavericks (The Mavs were the #2 seed last year but lost in the 1st round of the playoffs against the Spurs. I still think the Mavs will be just as good and i'll say why. Last year the Mavs pretty much had to adjust with alot of new players in their rotation, this year they will get the chance to play a full season with them with Dirk Nowitzki returning.) 4. Spurs (People always like to say the Spurs are dinosaurs but for the past 2 years they have really improved their bench with young guns. They got a steal in George Hill and DeJuan Blair and I think James Anderson is another good fit for San Antonio. Add these guys with the Spurs big 3 of Duncan, Parker , and Ginobli and they can make things happen.) 5. Nuggets (The Nuggets have the same team as last year pretty much so I don't think they wil be any better or worst than they were last year. Sure they got bumped out of the first round by Utah but George Karl was having surgery which I feel IMO was the reason Denver played so horribly against Utah. With Karl back on the sidelines Denver will come back stronger. 6. Rockets (As a Rocket fan I'm guessing I'm shocking alot of people by putting the Rockets this far back. But with the West being as hard as it is and the type of team the Rockets have, I honestly see us being no better than 5th or 6th in the West and that's with a healthy Yao. I mean it really isn't a bad thing considering that this is the seed we are most of the time when were in the playoffs but we would really love to be better. The only way I see us getting at least a #1 or #2 seed is if we make a major trade which I honestly see happening for the Rockets this year or if Yao Ming of course in healthy for majority of the year and has an MVP type season.) 7. Blazers (I would have put the Blazers higher but their team as just as if not more injury prone than the Rockets, well Yao anyway. I believe they'll still make it to the playoffs but obviously the injury's will come and I see them being no higher than 6th or 7th.) 8. Grizzles (With the Sun's and Jazz losing their All Star fowards I believe that will now open 2 spots for 2 other Western teams. One of the teams I choose are the Memphis Grizzles. They did good last year even though they were under .500 but the good thing is at least they were 2 games under .500. I defintley see the Grizzles back in the playoffs this up coming season with them re-signing Rudy Gay and drafting rookies in Xavier Henry and Greivis Vasquez. And hopefully for Grizzles fans Zack Randolph will stay out of trouble, 9. Clippers (I see the Clippers being the Oklahoma City Thunder of this season. With a healthy Blake Griffin, an all star in Chris Kaman, vetern in Baron Davis, Scorer in Eric Gordan, and a nice young rookie in Aminu they can make a run for the 8th seed. And it would be ironic if they are to face the Lakers in the playoffs. 10. Jazz (As I said the Jazz lost Boozer but I don't think they'll be that bad off. At the worst I see them being the 9th or 10th seed with a winning record kind of like how the Rockets were this season. And at the same time they could surprise me and actually make a run for the 8th seed.) 11. Suns (Same thing for Pheonix as Utah.) 12. Hornets (Theirs so many question marks on this team for me. They have a problem at the PG position, they can't decide weather to keep or trade either Paul or Collison. I'll say this if Paul stays I see them being one of the few teams on the West going for the 8th spot, but if Paul is to be traded this year I see them going back and being no better than teams such as Sacramento. 13. Kings (I'm starting to like this team, their continuing to get better in alot of area's. But unfortanatly for them their in the West so i don't really see them being any better than what they were last year. At the best I see them improving the record to at least 30 or more wins but thats about it.) 14. Warriors (The Warriors definetly improved this season with drafting an athletic and defensive big man Ekpe Udoh and getting David Lee in a S & T, but I don't see them contending for the playoffs. Like the Kings I think the well at least improve their record to 30 or more wins and in the future be a team that can compete for the playoffs.) 15. TimberWolves (The T-Wolves I think once again will have the worst record in the West. However like I said about the Kings and Warriors I think they will improve their record from last year to at least 20 or more wins. Sure it's not great but for Minnesota its actually a pretty good start and a step in the right direction.)

There have been many drafts in the NBA that has produced some very great talent, but I want to focus on just 4 of them. Many may say that the 1984, 1985, 1996, and 2003 draft are some of the greatest drafts in not only NBA but sports history. And their are loads of talent in all 4 of these drafts with Hall of Famers, future Hall of Famers, All Stars, and many other noticable players. But out this 4 which would you consider the best.

I did put the link but it wasn't working for me so I just posted the whole article. IDK maybe I did it the wrong way.

I know thats why I just went ahead and posted it myself.

These are 2 guys who in Free Agency and 2 guys who alot of teams would like to get their hands on. Lee seems to be getting the most attention I guess mainly since it seems the Knicks have no intention of signing him back. And the Rockets look as if their going to sign back Scola, weather for a sign and trade or to keep him who know, on to the point though. Both of these guys are pretty similar to me, their both around the same height and size and both play ball in a similar way. Their both good pick and roll players with a good low post game, can run the floor, fill in lanes, and are also workhorses under the goal and both grab alot of rebounds. Sure Lee out rebounds Scola but let Scola and Lee switch teams and I garuntee Scola would put up Lee numbers while Lee would put up Scola numbers. I've seen both guys play but I've seen more Scola than Lee so I obviously go Scola not being biased just to be honest haven't seen to much of Lee but I've seen enough to know what kind of player he is. So out of the 2 who do you think is a better player and if your favorite team had cap space who would you rather them go after.

I know what you mean Starks killed us up until Game 7. Some Rockets fans may get at my throat for saying this but sometimes I wonder if he was payed off to throw that game. I don't think he was but with the way the NBA is works who knows.

What I will be talking about obviously is about the best 7 game series in NBA history in the past 30 years. I would go further but I'm pretty sure not many can remember 7 game series such as the 1978 NBA Finals with the Seattle SuperSonics and Washington Bullets or any 7 game series before that. So I'm going to talk mainly about the 7 game series that happened in the NBA Finals. 1984 Boston Celtics vs Los Angeles Lakers (This has to be one of the most memerable game 7's not only in the Lakers/Celtics rivalry but in NBA history period. It was what alot of people were waiting for a with Magic vs Bird. We all know the story of the heated rivilry between Magic and Bird it goes all the way back to their college days and these series just added more fuel to the fire. After the Lakers won Game 1, a crucial steal in Game 2 led to a tie game and the Celtics were able to win in overtime to tie the series. The Lakers won Game 3 easily and almost won Game 4, but were again thwarted. Now tied 2-2, the Lakers and Celtics each held serve at their home court to send the series to Boston for Game 7. Game 5 was a classic, with Bird coming up with a huge game in one of the hottest games ever in non-air conditioned Boston Garden. Game 7 was close but eventually went to the Celtics. Cedric Maxwell scored 24 points against the Los Angeles Lakers in the decisive Game 7 victory. 1988 Los Angeles Lakers vs Detroit Pistons 1988 Los Angeles Lakers vs Detroit Pistons (I have to say that I think this has to be one of the most underrated Finals. It has alot to due Isiah Thomas' career-defining performances came in Game 6. In Game 1 the Pistons pretty much just ran an already tired Lakers out shocking the on their home floor. However with the Lakers facing the possibility of going down 2-0 with three games to play in Detroit, the Lakers found a way to even the score with their vets and even snatched one away in game 3. Being at home the Pistons wasn't just going to let the Lakers run them out of it so they responded with the next 2 wins in game 4 and 5. In game 6 despite badly twisting his ankle midway through the period, Thomas scored a still-NBA Finals record 25 third quarter points, as Detroit fell to the Lakers in a 103-102 lose. In Game 7 Thomas was still hot enough to pump in 10 first half points, as Detroit held a slight lead. However In the 3rd quarter, the Lakers, inspired by Finals MVP James Worthy and Byron Scott exploded as they built a 10-point lead entering the final period. The lead swelled to 15 before Detroit mounted a furious 4th-quarter rally, trimming the lead to 2-points on several occasions. Still several Detroit miscues enabled the Lakers to escape with a 108-105 victory and the Championship.) 1994 Houston Rockets vs New York Knicks (As a Rockets fan I may say this is the best but to be honest I'm being kind of biased. Still this was a good series I felt because with Jordan gone from the NBA the Knicks was the favorite to win the title. The Bulls was the only team that always stood in the Knicks way and when Jordan finally left and the Knicks finally beat the Bulls they lose to a team that very few people expected to make to the Finals. This was a very entertaining series 2 evenly matched teams with 2 of the best Centers at the time Olajuwon and Ewing going at it. Their story is kind of similar to Magic and Bird and the only it wasn't heated Ewing beat Dream in college but in the 1994 Finals Dream would get his revenge. During the series, the Rockets played seven low-scoring, defensive games against the Knicks. After splitting the first two games in Houston, the Knicks won two out of three games at home. In Game 6 it was once again a tight game with Hakeem Olajuwon blocking a last-second shot by John Starks, giving the Rockets an 86-84 victory and forcing a Game 7. The Rockets beat the Knicks in Game 7 in an 90-84 win, giving the city of Houston its first NBA championship.) 2005 San Antonio Spurs vs Detroit Pistons stons (It was a good series but I wasn't that into this series. I guess for the simple fact that both teams were more defensively-oriented than offensivly, not to say this wasn't a good finals though. The first 2 games were pretty much a blow out with the Spurs dominating the Pistons however Detroit would return the favor by doing the same in games 3 & 4. The highlight of this series was by far game 5 with Robert Horry yet again coming through doing crunch time nailing a game winning shot giving the Spurs a 3-2 lead in the series. Game 6 was a close one with Detroit winning and tieing up the series. Coming in to Game 7 momentum was on Detroit's side, but the Spurs had home-court advantage. The game, like the previous two games of the series, was closely contested for the first three quarters, but the Spurs, behind clutch plays from Tim Duncan and Manu Ginóbili, took control of the 4th quarter to earn an 81-74 victory.) 2010 Los Angeles Lakers vs Boston Celtics (This has to be one of my favorites game 7's and by for one of the best NBA Finals in a while. It was a typical Lakers/Celtics series. With the exception of Games 1 and 6 every game was pretty much close contested and very entertaining. Game 1 was a blow out with the Lakers killing the Celtics, but Boston came back with a vengence in Game 2 with Ray Allen hitting 8 three pointers and tieing up the series. Game 3 the Lakers needed to respond with a win in Boston after the Celtics stole one in L.A. which they did with the help of Derek Fisher. Games 4 & 5 belonged to the Celtics and yet again in close contested games, but the Lakers would respond with a Game 6 blow-out out home beating Boston by 20 plus points. Coming in to game 7 the Lakers had momentum on their side but the Celtics would be the ones to make the quick run. The Celtics led the game by a score of 40–34 at halftime and by as many as 13 after halftime, but the Lakers made a charge back in the second half to tie the game up at 64 points in the 4th quarter with just under 6 minutes remaining. The Lakers then proceeded to take their first lead since midway through the second quarter and went on a 6–0 run to charge ahead of the Celtics 70–64. Although Kobe Bryant had a horrible shooting night, the Lakers were able to pull it out since rebounding proved to be a huge problem in this game for the Celtics, partly because of the season-ending right knee injury to Kendrick Perkins in the previous game. Pau Gasol and Kobe Bryant together had more total rebounds than all of the Celtics' starters combined and foul trouble was also a big problem for the Celtics. In the end, the Lakers topped the Celtics 83–79 giving the Lakers their 16th NBA championship and revenge from the 2008 NBA Finals.) All of these 7 game series were very good and entertaining, but in everyone's opinion which of these series was the best 7 game series to happen in the past 30 years in NBA history. It could be in the NBA Finals or any NBA Playoff game.

LeBron James - Cleveland or Chicago ( I think LeBron should stay in Cleveland but the word is he's likley headed to Chicago.) Dwyane Wade - Miami (D-Wade isn't and wasn't never planning on leaving Miami.) Chris Bosh - Miami or Chicago ( Miami and Chicago looks like the most possible destination for Bosh. I think my Rockets still have a chance but it will be a long shot.) Amare Stoudemire - Miami or Chicago (If Bosh signs elsewhere I think Miami should look ay Stoud. Same with Chicago as Miami.) Joe Johnson - New York ( Not to much I can say I just think this is the perfect team for him to go to IMO.) Carlos Boozer - Chicago, New Jersey and New York(Booz would fit good with Chicago since D-Rose is a PG sort of similar to D-Will. New Jersey says they want an All-Star PF for what when they drafted Favors IDK, but I think they'll definetly look at Booz as well as New York.) Ray Allen - Boston or Charlotte (MJ does own the Bobcats and Allen is with team Jordan I wouldn't be surprised if this happened. But I don't see the Big 3 or Big 4 rather breaking up just yet.) Dirk Nowitzki - Dallas or Phoenix (He'll sign back with Dallas I believe but if not Nash will talk to the Suns staff about getting Dirk especially if they lose Stoud.) Yao Ming - Houston (Haven't heard anything about Yao but everyone believes he'll be staying and so do I.) David Lee - New York or Oklahoma City (I think New York will sign back Lee he's been to productive for them for over the years. Plus the guy was an all-star this year averging a double double nearly every game. NY needs to go ahead and give him his money instead of praying for LeBron.) Rudy Gay - Memphis or Los Angeles Clippers (If Gay doesn't sign back with the Grizzlies I wouldn't be surprised to see the Clippers go after him. Even though they drafted Aminu he could easliy come of the bench and be both a SF and PF while Gay starts. I think the Clips will be the breakout team of the year and if they could get Gay in the summer with a healthy Blake Griffin that would make them much better.)

Agent Henry Thomas on Friday denounced a report by ESPN that stated he had narrowed down a list of preferred destinations for Toronto Raptors free-agent client Chris Bosh Thomas, who also represents Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade, another pending free agent, said he has not forwarded any such list to Raptors General Manager Bryan Colangelo."I haven't closed the door on anything," Thomas insisted. "I haven't given Bryan any lists. There is no list. This is a process that is ongoing." According to the ESPN report, Thomas had told the Raptors that Bosh's free-agency focus would center on the Raptors, as well as the Chicago Bulls, Los Angeles Lakers, New York Knicks and Heat A party close to the situation said that while Colangelo has a list of potential trade partners acceptable to Bosh, the ESPN list was incomplete Thomas said there is no reason to limit options this early in the process, with free-agent negotiations with outside teams not allowed to begin until July 1 and free-agent signings not allowed until July 8"Why would I do that?" Thomas said. "We're still in a process of evaluating a lot different situations." With the right to opt out of the final year of his contract by June 30 the same deadline as Wade, Bosh would benefit working in concert with the Raptors on a sign-and-trade transaction should he decide to leave Under such a scenario, the athletic power forward could then sign for the maximum six years at $125.5 million. Should he sign outright with another team with sufficient cap space he would be limited to $96.1 million over five years Thomas said Bosh is not necessarily wed to a sign-and-trade resolution"I can't tell you whether it's a priority or not. Is it going to be evaluated? Sure. It will be evaluated," Thomas said"But whether it's a priority, we're still in a process of deciding what the priorities actually are." Nonetheless, a sign-and-trade with Toronto could be difficult for the Heat, with the Raptors hardly enamored of second-year forward Michael Beasley, the Heat's prime trade chip With the Bulls or Knicks, it is possible for Bosh to sign in tandem with Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James, another pending free agent. Should the Heat be able to move Beasley's contract, it could be possible for Pat Riley's team to sign Wade, Bosh and another top-tier free agent Wade, Bosh and James all are represented by the same agency. Wade has spoken of a possible pre-draft sitdown among the three."We haven't decided that yet," Thomas said. "I wouldn't be surprised, for sure, if the guys don't talk to themselves"But as far as there being this big pow-wow, where we're all going to get into a room, that hasn't been decided."

IDK if this is a rumor or not but I hope its true. Just click the link below. http://www.sun-sentinel.com/topic/sports/toronto-raptors-ORSPT000118.topic

Yeah, teams don't tank like that in the NBA because it would be pointless if you don't even know if your going to get a top 5 pick. But be honest and I take it your a Nets fan if the NBA didn't have the lottery the worst team automatically gets the first pick you don't think the Nets wouldnt try it. Expecially with the Nets new owner who ants to make the Nets championship contenders within 5 years.

I honestly doubt that Yao will go anyway else and even if he does I could careless he's injury prone and that just gives us an opportunity to get an even better player in free agency next year.

No, keep the lottery the way it is. I used to feel the same way about the draft lottery but you have to understand if they did the draft the way its done in the NFL or the NHL as you said,teams could easily rebuild a franchise. Trust me I should know its happened for the Rockets, infact if I'm not mistaking they made the lottery because of what the Rockets did. They drafted Ralph Sampson in 83 had another horrible season then drafted and Olajuwon ithe next year in 84. Then the next year we were in the finals against Boston. So just imagine how many teams will attempt to tank seasons if the lottery wasn't done the way it is.

Schaub 89 overall come on now Matt Schuab was the #1 QB in passing yards this year he should at least make the 90's. I know he plays for the Texans and they didn't make it to the playoffs but they are improving by the years and like I said he did have the most passing yards. 93 or 94 overall should be good enough for him

As much as I like Brooks I would actually perfer Lowry as our starting PG. Sure Brooks can shot the rock and he won MIP but look at the things Lowry did this year. Lowry averaged 9 PPG, 4.5 Assist, and 3 boards a game and this is coming form off of the bench so just imagine how good he's stats will look if he starts. Call me crazy but I can honestly see Lowry put up Jason Kidd type numbers from the 90's if given the chance. He's more of a pure PG and he's stronger than Brooks is which means he won't have that much of a problem playing aginst bigger PG's like Deron Williams, he doesn't exactly have Brooks speed and quickness but for he's size he's pretty quick. And on top of everything I would perfer Brooks to come off of the bench anyway. After the Rockets gave up Carl Landry we really had no igniter of off the bench but if we make Brooks our sixth man he can be that igniter for us. I always liked Brooks coming of the bench better and when we originally did the trade for Lowry I felt that he should have been the starter and Brooks should have been the sixth man. Granted Brooks has done good as our starter I just think he can do just as better as our sixth man he could be our Jamal Crawford, Jason Terry or J.R Smith maybe even better.

If we can get Bosh I will be one happy Rocket fan of course though like Real Deal said if we are to do this deal we would have to give up alot more than just Jordan Hill. I can see Brooks, Ariza, Budinger or Battier, Jeffries, and of course those picks that we got from the Knicks being apart of a sign a trade for Bosh. We would be giving up alot but it would be well worth it. My only problem with this trade though is that Bosh would just be getting off of a injury prone season and thats the last thing we need we already have Yao with he's knee problems and Martin has his problems aswell.

Well if we could land Wall I agree Brooks would be good trade bait and we can land a very good . And no Build Ford Tough gave me the link to this site. I was on Youtube on an Evan Turner mix video and made a post, he saw it PM'd and I guess thought I was a good poster and invited me hear.

Yeah thanks I pretty much fell the same way that Wall will be #1 with most of the picks but theirs just a few teams out their I can see going Turner, Cousins, even Favors. I really wouldn't be surprised if the T-Wolves took Wall they proved me that last year when the took 4 gaurds in the draft but Turner IMO would be a better fit. As for the Rockets I feel pretty much the same way I feel about the T-Wolves, I feel they should draft Tuner but like I said if their trying to rebuild go Cousins. Wall would be nice hear too but I just do see it happening, but then again Morey does make things happen he's a damn great GM I'm glad he's with us.

The NBA regular season is nearly over in the NBA Draft well happen in about 2 months. However we don't know how the draft order will go because the Draft Lottery won't happen until about a month from now. So what I have done since we don't no yet who will get the #1 pick in the draft is put all the Lottery teams that has a chance to get the #1 pick up and put the name of the guy I believe they would choose if they were to have the #1 pick. New Jersey Nets-John Wall (After the horrible season the Nets had their willing to draft either man. But if had to choose it would be Wall, Turner is good and will make an immediate impact than Wall in their rookie season, but I believe Turner will be more of a secondtier guy, Wall on the other hand will be big for the Nets in the future and can change the franchise. And besides the Nets aren't going anywhere anytime soon so the won't need the immediate impact of Turner they will have alot of time to develop with guys like Wall, Williams, Lopez, Harris, Yi etc...) Minnesota Timberwolves-Evan Turner (The T'Wolve's have Jonny Flynn and the rights to Ricky Rubio so I doubt if they would waste their pick on Wall or would they expecially after last year's draft, picking 3 PG in the first round, IDK this would be interesting.) Golden State Warriors-Evan Turner (The Warriors have both Stephen Curry and Monta Ellis so I think most likley they would draft Turner. If this happen we can see the new version of Run TMC for those who don't know what i'm talking about Run TMC were apart of the Warriors in the early 90's who were (Tim Hardaway, Mitch Richmond, and Chris Mullin). We could see a new Run TMC sort of (Turner, Monta, and Curry). Washington Wizards-John Wall (With the Gilbert Arenas incident the Wizards will need a new PG and franchise changer, once again that goes to Wall.) Detroit Pistons-DeMarcus Cousins (Detroit is another team thats rebuilding, they seem to be happy with Stucky and Bynum at the point so theirs no need for Wall. And they still have Rip and Gordon so Evans is out of the question aswell. However Detroit does need a big man so if they were to land the #1 pick I see them getting DeMarcus Cousins. Favors could be a possibilty aswell.) Sacramento Kings-Evan Turner (Theirs no need for Wall when you have Tyreke Evans so I think theirs no question Turner would be thir choice.) Philadelphia 76ers-John Wall (Philly has Iggy so their's no need for Turner and Holiday is finally catching on near the end of the season. Lou Williams is a good player but he's more of a SG than PG so if Philly were to get the #1 pick they should take Wall.) Los Angeles Clippers-Evan Turner (Turner would be an excellent addition to the Clips with Kamen, BD, Gordan, and the retuning Blake Griffin. If they were to land #1 again and draft Turner I can definitely see them as Playoff contenders in the West.) Utah Jazz-Evan Turner(If Boozer is to stay with Utah next season and their were to some who land the #1 pick their no question Turner would be drafted and I think he would be the missing piece of the puzzle to Utah. If Boozer is to leave I expect Cousins or Favors here) Indiana Pacers-John Wall (Danny Granger is good but he is a secondary player the Pacers need a franchise changer aswell and Wall would definatley be it.) New Orleans Hornets-Evan Turner (The Hornets have both Paul and Collison, they have their SG of the future in Thornton but Peja's getting old and Turner could fill in for him.) Milwaukee Bucks-DeMarcus Cousins (The Bucks have Jennings and Salmons so there's no need for Wall but they do need a big man to play along side Andrew Bogut who just got hurt, so I see Cousins or Favors being tooken here. At the same time they could use a SF, Delfino has played pretty good but I would bring him of the bench. If the Bucks land the #1 pick they have alot of options to go either SF or PF.) Houston Rockets-Evan Turner (As I Rockets fan I would be happy getting either player but with how great Brooks and Lowry have been playing theirs no doubt we would take Turner. However if the Rockets are thinking of rebuilding I would love Cousins to come here.) Memphis Grizzlies-Undecided (This was kind of a tough one because theirs a chance Rudy Gay could leave Memphis this off season which would make it obvious for the Grizzlies to take Turner and Conley has actually improved alot over the last couple of season's. But if Gay is to stay I would say Wall.)

1. Kobe Bryant (Kobe has he's mind focused on one thing and thats winning and everyone wants to be one.) 2. Steve Nash (He's a very smart player on the court and makes great decisions) 3. Tim Duncan (H can teach me the fundementals of the game) 4. Kevin Garnett (He has passion for the game of basketball like no one I have seen in recent years.) 5. Shaquille O'Neal (This was kind of a hard one for me but I picked Shaq pretty much the same reason I picked Kobe, becuase he's always determined to win and get more than what he has.)
