Dont forget about Ray Allen too. He is also a celtic and along with Paul Pierce they form the best Trio the NBA has seen in a long time.

Allen Garnett and Pierce...experience mixed with youth...its a good start for the celtics...but what if they get injuried throughout the season???imo it will be hard for them to have a winning record in the upcoming season

the heat and the timberwolves have done a trade where the heat will send antoine walker, michael doleac and wayne simien to the wolves for ricky davis and mark blount. imo it was a good move by the heat to get rid of walker but then to get ricky davis while davis is a good player he will go missing in games if he doesn't get his shots. simien was a pretty good player back in college but hasn't much chance to prove himself due to injuries while doleac is a back up player at best so imo it was a good move by both teams.

^^^ they started with the signing of kevin garnett
Yeah & Allen is a Good but not great input into the Side. They'll still do poorly. As most of their Players are INjury Prone. If they are to improve, Garnett will have to play Over Time.

I dont believe the celtics will struggle this year. I think they will make the play offs. Garnett knows it's now or never to win and will do everything possible. Paul Pierce will still be the leader and their go to guy.

As far as Ricky Davis goes, he can be incredible and very bad all in the same game. If he plays well, Wade will have someone to push the ball up the court with. I wonder how long it will take till Ricky Davis and Coach Riley clash?

Clash??? I doubt we'll have another Coach/Player Issue this Season with the Miami Heat. I think Pat Riley was taught a lesson when he O'Neal was in a Fued. I think the Dwayne Wade & O'Neal influence in the Team has disappeared.

I doubt that Miami will miss THE Play-Offs but for them to win a another Title in the next Season looks very unlikely.

At the moment they are probably the 4th best team in the east behind the bulls, pistons and celtics. You can never count out a team which has Wade and Shaq in the line-up.

2006 - Miami wins 4-2 (Miami champs)

Well with Shaq's Horrible Free Throw Line Percentage & Dwayne Wade's lack of performance & good Matches... Miami could either be in dire Straints or an OKay Season. I would like to see another Miami Vs Bulls Play-Off Match although, most rivalries are hard to maintain in the NBA ue to the size of it but some do eventuate into classics, Doubt this one will though.

I think it can. These two teams hate each other. The previous 2 series there were suspensions, flagrant fouls, fights. The bulls sweeping them last season has just added that extra hate between the 2 teams.

ESPN has reported that the Lakers and Bulls are in discussion about a Kobe trade. The Lakers want Ben Gordon, Luol Deng, Tyrus Thomas and Johkim Noah.

As a Bulls fan, i'd hate to see this trade happen.It is way too much to give up for just 1 player.

Bryant to move to the Bull would be Weird. I don't think it will happpen however. The Bulls have discussed previously about Overhauling the Team so that they can introduce some Good & Big Names into the Team. Kobe isn't the Answer though.

ive heard that news a few days ago and as a laker fan i don't really want that to happen . don't get me wrong i like ben gordon, luol deng, tyrus thomas as players but they have been inconsitant so far and i just don't think they will fit in the lakers system just yet while ive been impressed with joakim noah in college i want to see how he goes in the pro league and he will get good guidance from playing under ben wallace if he stays with the bulls. chicago is the only team in the east that kobe said he would play for.
