Championship or nothing.
Im not a nash fan but a that's how a point should play.
Amars said:Nash has 11/1 assist/turnover ratio
Antoine Walker has agreed to COME OFF THE BENCH...what does that tell you?
Jason Williams is good friends with Shaq and the Diesel will keep him under control.
James Posey is a defensive stopper that can score....
The Heat has now become the most talented team in the NBA....how can I not like the trade?
nyjunc said:you have the most talented player when he's healthy(which is rare) but I think Det and the Nets have more talent in the East. Show me a team w/ more weapons than the Nets?
Ferretsquig said:Dunno what you're talking about, Wade is always healthy. I know you want to root for your team, but the Nets have far more issues to deal with than the Heat. Until they can stop anyone it will be a struggle. I like Rahim, but hes no defensive stopper. Neither is Kristic. There is one constant in the NBA these days, if you have no interior presence on the defensive end, you dont last very long in the playoffs.
nyjunc said:that tells me he will be whining and demanding a trade by midseason.
jason Williams is an out of control, overrated streetball player. Being friends w/ Shaq will not turn him into something he is not. he might be a good citizen but he's not a team player and never will be.
I LOVE getting Posey, that's the best part of the deal.

Sec-126; I can't belive you like this move(actually I can b/c your teams can do no wrong in your eyes). As much as we bang heads you do have knowledge of the NBA game, i can't believe you like this move.

I had you as my preseason favorite to at least win the East and probably win it all but that definitely changes now. I just hate this move by Miami.
You are right, the Nets major issue will be defensively but it's going to be tough for teams to score w/ them. The nets have some players that can play D and Frank is a good defensive coach, we'll see if it meshes. I'm banking it will but you never know.

This is Miami (a great place to be rich) Antoine Walker will be on a contender with high character guys....He had to sign off on the deal and Riley specifically told him that he would play mostly with the second unit....He accepted...This tells me he wants to win....there have been many players JUST LIKE HIM over the years that have taken the same path.

You are remembering him from his Sacramento days....he has become a more controlled player...On this team with ZERO pressure to score...he can concentrate on passing and penetrating and kicking....I think he is in for a career year....think...something like 13 points 8 assists per game.
I LOVE getting Posey, that's the best part of the deal.
I agree......he is key in this deal.

More weapons than the Nets? How bout a team with the most dominant big man in the game.....a top five perimeter player who is on the fast track to the MVP short list....a Ten and Ten PF....a guy that averages 20 points and 9 rebounds...a defensive stopper that averages double digits....a point guard that is a 13 and 8 guy waiting to happen with his new teammates....and another guy that was one of the best 3 pt. shooters in the game close to signing back....all while they have a young player that everybody raves about in the summer league....not to mention a big power forward that was a force at Kansas.
Sorry to ramble....I like the Nets team...but they don't match up very well with the Heat or the Pacers as of now.....against The Pistons?...They do...because Flip Saunders is a total disaster.

I do like this move.....and I rip our teams plenty...especially the Fins..but I can't rip this move...this was a bonanza....and put the Heat only looking "westward" for their major competition.

Section126 said:I do like the Nets team this year....I say that your prediction "CAN" happen...but if it does....it won't be pretty....
I say it's Heat, Pacers, Pistons, ...then NETS...
NBA rankings (Top ten) IMO:
1. Spurs
2. Heat
3. Pacers
4. Pistons
5. Mavericks
6. Rockets
7. Nets
8. Suns
9. Nuggets
10. Sixers
2 Pistolz said:Yeah, you have to put the Spurs in front because that core has played together for a while now, and technically they are the champs.
However, I wouldn't put Philadelphia over Cleveland. LBJ, Hughes, Marshall/Gooden, Big Z...likely they're gonna add a PG like Damon Jones as well. I don't know if Philly is a better team. Nets are probably 'most improved' with a line-up of Kidd-Vince-Jefferson-SAR-Krstic.
