<div class="quote_poster">MrJ Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Sorry, I was bored. Nice usage of the word ?former? all-star. If the Nets can somehow land Payton they will land not only a former all-star, but a DPOY, and Hall of Famer! The point is, while Magloire made the all-star team (almost by default since the East was short on good centers) four seasons ago, he only averaged roughly 6/6 for Portland in 21 minutes, so I question how good of an acquisition he is, especially since he isn?t the running type of center and the Nets like to get up and down the court. Krstic getting healthy again is a plus for the Nets though. It?s funny that you mention Krstic becoming healthy yet you downplay the Knicks injuries?Crawford, Lee, Richardson (40 PPG/20 RPG)?all whom are more valuable to the team than Krstic is to the Nets. And how can you question their chemistry without seeing them play? Most of the players on the Knicks are playing their third season together, so they should have even more chemistry. I hate it when people talk about the defense being much worse than it already is. Channing Frye was a horrible defender. In fact, if you can believe it, Zach Randolph is a better defender than Frye just by the mere fact he takes up more space. So, the Knicks actually improved their defense by substituting Frye with Randolph. It?s cool that you don?t see the Knicks in the playoffs, I just think you?re downplaying their improvements. At a family reunion, well at least mine, there will be many people (perhaps 50 or so) therefore requiring great amounts of Kool-Aid. So, assuming the cost of Kool-Aid would be less than $10 is not necessarily true either, debunking the first part of your response. Secondly, time does have a price. If you pay your bills late, you will get charged for late fees even though you think time is ?priceless?. In a non-monetary sense, if one were to underachieve during their time in school, the price could be learning significantly less. One?s job as an employee in say, McDonald?s, could pay $7.00 per hour. There?s even an adage which states ?time is money?, adding credence to the aforementioned example. Therefore, in this hypothetical situation, I choose to charge whatever amount I deem necessary to make up for that wasted time. Granted, $100 is unreasonable, however, the purpose of the question was to see which option?getting physically assaulted, or paying $100?you would prefer. Furthermore, in this hypothetical situation, your purpose is not to enjoy the festivities of the Johnson Family Reunion, but rather exhibit your new-found Kool-Aid-making ability by supplying everyone with a delicious glass of the Kool-Aid. The Knicks won that series. In addition, despite their recent lackluster seasons, according to Forbes, the New York Knicks are worth the most money out of any NBA franchise. Since my youth, I have been making Kool-Aid, while you just found out sugar was often added to enhance the product. That?s wishful thinking from a neophyte in preparing Kool-Aid.</div> Okay you win New Atlantic Division predictions: 1. New York Knicks 2. Boston Celtics 3. Toronto Raptors 4. New Jersey Nets 5.
