Since they didnt make the palyoffs this year, its going to be even tougher next year. They are going to have to battle the Sonics (they will have improved), the Suns, Grizzlies and Warriors. It will be that much harder this year if they dont improve drasticly over the offseason. One thing we must do is to move Francis to 2 and to bring in a decent point and a good power forward in a trade for Mobley.
I am not sure about the Francis at the 2, sometimes his defense can just be plain ugly. BUT, I am more than happy to have a change of somekind. Try new things and all. Mobes, will win the 6th Man of the Year Award next season!
being the team with the most potential out of the whole group, im not worried in the least bit. i cant see us being much worse than this year
Even worse, the Grizzllies could be realligned to join to Eastern conference while New Orleans Hornets could joing the West. Clippers are always spoilers. Denver will be tough with Camby, Nene, Skitsa, Gilbert Arenas and Lebron/Darco/Carmello. But I still believe - with significants changes (not face lifts) and an improved Yao and Eddy + Boki we will be fine. Some good news - Utah could be on their way down (only God know how many time we have said that in the last 3 years) for good. The T-Wolves could be destabilized by controversy if they don't resign KG this summer.
