    If Agent Zero, Tmac and JO all return to elite status. I say we replace the Statue of Liberty with a giant Tim Glover statue

    Agent Zero is VERY capable of being elite again, just like McGrady.

    They have that much talent.

    Without a doubt, Arenas would be an All-Star. He is still young and he has the right mind set and trainer to help him achieve that status again.

    Arenas looked decent at the end of last season, so it should be no suprise if he comes back as good as he was before.

    At least they show some effort while working out with the BEST of the bests. This guy has made so many great things, he has helped so meny people.

    Hopefully he will help Gilbert as well.

    The only way they'll return to elite status is if we all travel through a time machine to 2004.

    I hope so, Arenas was an entertaining player to watch. Decent floor general, elite scorer, and above average at rebounding.

    My biggest problem with him is that he's a PG that's a volume scorer. I really want him to be more of a playmaker like Tony Parker. Tony Parker is not a great passer, but a good one and is often times willing to help his teammates out. I don't see that too much in Gilbert except for the game against the Pistons last season.

    Gilbert has the work ethic to return to the elite status, Will he comeback? Not sure we'll have to find out ourselves. I remembered that he was one of the biggest gym rats in the league.

    As for Jermaine O'Neal? No chance, I know friends who are Pacer fans and Hard worker is the last thing they call Jermaine. He's pretty much in the same boat as Tracy McGrady.

    how about not copying someone else's work? This takes ad revenue and destroys journalism one post at a time. It's no different than stealing music.

    I'm not sure of the laws but I know on a more heavily-moderated forum I visit your post will be deleted if you paste more than an excerpt of an article and/or fail to put a link to it. I know they are not doing that just to be courteous either.

    AP is starting to crack down, and others will follow. Journalism organizations aren't too keen on their work being copied and pasted. It irks the hell out of the writers too.

    It's widespread, but a crack down approaches, and clutch might want to take heed and keep his eye on future developments for his own sake. AP has plans to digitally wrap its text, which I promise isn't for fun. Others are going to adopt this practice most likely or implement their own versions to track who is copying their work. A simple google search can lead you to Web sites stealing written work.

    The text wrap is being done for law suits to come. They've already sued the Drudge Report for using a paragraph and linking to it, a practice widely and informally accepted by blogs and forums. The practice however is not a proven legal method to use someone's work. It is in fact plagiarism, and legally it could get them it some hot water. The practice has yet to be widely taken to court, but the clock is ticking as journalism faces these problems and take revenue hits. As they get more desperate for money in this lovely economy, they'll most likely start taking legal action.

    -I know this because I get irked when people steal my writing for their Web sites. I've been following the subject closely. More information can be sound here. While it may seem impractical, it is most likely being done as a legal preparation for law suits.
