    So let me get this straight, we didn't make the playoffs last year and..
    We add a bunch of rookies. lin and asik...
    Who will have (combined) only started 27 games in the whole careers
    And get rid of Lowry, Dragic, Scola, Camby, Dalembert, Bud and Lee
    And you think we make the playoffs NOW?

    As is, this is a horrifically bad team for this year, as noted because it has almost no defensive presence exceptinig a backup center whom we are to somehow assume can move to 30+ minutes/game with the same productivity. 25 wins max.

    There is physically no way to lose worse than 20 a year if you're trying. 7 wins last year Charlotte? What a joke. Stern saw that blatant tank job of a season and decided to take away their #1 pick. Basketball Reasons.

    41-45 wins. I expect them them to continue from where they left off.
    Can't stress this enough, they do an excellent job in acquiring players that fit. Where you lost defense with lee, you gained with Omer and Patsquatch, assuming he is 100%.
    The starting line up will have experience. The bench will be the key.

    the raptors get us the 5th pick. =)

    Barring any major injury this team is mediocre at best........ 26-30 wins
    If Lin/Lamb/Martin get injured this team is below average....16-20 wins
    If two of these players get hurt they will be abysmal..........1-15 wins

    Playoff bound Eastern Conference:
    Chicago
    Boston
    Brooklyn
    Miami
    New York

    3 spots left for:
    Orlando?
    ATL
    Philly
    Indiana
    Milwaukee
    Toronto

    Given all the good teams in the west that will finish just out of the playoffs with better records, the Toronto pick should be between 5-10.

    30 - 52 is about right.

    Key will be getting rid of Martin, then we can drop even further and perhaps get into the low 20's

    I voted 26-30, but I fear the guys will overachieve again and land in the 31-35 range.
