^ Exactly my thoughts j0se. They had the best record with Artest, and now Granger is back in the lineup. They have lost Miller which is definatly a blow, but Jackson can more than makeup for Miller who was (and I say this with a heavy heart) slowing down b/c his career was coming to an end.
I called it before.... the Bucks man. I mean they just got Bobby Simmons! That is just insane. That gives them a crazy 6th man off the bench, or even starter if D-Mase comes off the bench. This Bucks team is looking to have a huge turn around this year... and I mean HUGE.
I think the Philadephia 76ers are gonna have a great year in the East. Chris Webber is supposed to be working out and tryna improve his knee so thats a good sign for the 76ers. Its hard to find chemistry with a guy like Iverson but Webber and him will come together and carry this team to the next level. I mean Iverson and Webber are both championship hungry and that will probably motivate em to get out their and go after the NBA Championship.
i say the warriors. with the aquasition of baron davis, they were steaming. there's no reason why they wont continue come this season.

I think they can get about 40+ wins this season. C Eddy Curry PF Al Harrington SF Marvin Williams SG Josh Childress PG Salim Stoudamire
bulls its going to be the chicago bulls have alot of young talent and made it this year after starting 0-9 nexy year the win central and go 2nd Round
Expect Houston, Dallas and Miami to be contenders. Chicago will continue to improve as well as the New York/Jersey teams. Milwaukee is a serious team and Sacremento could be the biggest sleeper. But San Antonio, Detroit and Phoenix are still on top. I also see signs of life in Cleveland and LA and Seattle, and it's still a little hazy but is New Orleans trying to get up off the floor?
