    Yeah, our on-the-court success has been unparalleled, until this year. Of course, take into account an extremely poor Eastern conference.

    Anyone see Bob Johnson on Fox News Rising this morning? He's such an uncomfortable presence on camera, hard to believe he made his money through a tv network.

    Get a guy like Larry Brown, Phil Jackson, George Karl, Pat Riley etc to be the coach next season and this team makes the playoffs and maybe wins the first series. The stadium starts filling up and no one talks about how stupid Johnson is.

    Better hope you win the lottery and hit on the pick. Its a team full of role players and third level guys.

    Jason Richardson and Gerald Wallace are both solid players. Richardson is one of the better scorers in the league and Wallace has a very solid all around game. I bet just about any team in the league would love to have either one of those guys.

    Trade Wallace and our likely 7th pick for 1 or 2, draft Derrick Freaking Rose. Let Okafor walk, sign Elton Brand or do a Sign and Trade.


    50 wins.

    as role players and second tier guys

    You can keep telling yourself that until you are blue but they aren't making any leaps forward until they get a legitamate star

    Jason Richardson scored 21.8 ppg which is 15th in the league. That is higher than:

    Tracy McGrady
    Carlos Boozer
    Dwight Howard
    and
    Tim Duncan....

    Gerald Wallace scored 19.4 ppg which is 39th in the league despite battling injuries most of the season. He was also a top defensive player as well finishing 5th in the league in steals.

    What do those guys need to do in your opinion to prove they are stars?

    J-Rich had the fifth most made three pointers in a season, ever.

    Wallace last year became one of the only players to average two steals and two blocks a game, ever.

    They are a little bit better than role players, regardless of their supposed star ceiling.
