    Parker, Joey G, and ofcourse Shawn Marion are all free agents. Theres a market for Bosh and his expiring contract. J-kap, Hump, and Marcus Banks are just a waste of space should be moved. We have a lottery pick this year.

    So what do you think BC should do?


    IMO, Parker should be resigned because he can be that sixth man or X factor for the raptors. Quietly Bosh should be shopped (NOT TRADED) so BC sees what he can get for him in return. Shawn Marion MUST BE resigned (for a resonable price ofcourse), and along with the pick J-kap Hump and Banks should be traded. Lastly I really hope BC brings Delfino back and looks for a back up PG (ukic is good but needs development still).


    So what do you think BC should do?

    He's not queer, he's just metro!


    Once again we're stuck with limited flexibility. Don't expect much.

    Draft DeRozan. He'll be the next VC.

    DeRozan still is very raw. He didn't play in any structured offense til last year at USC. Granted, the kid will learn, just if we do draft him. It will take time though. I'm not against drafting Curry. I'm actually all for it.

    Lol, I know DeRozan is raw. It was a semi-serious comment. I would like to see him on the Raptors, but the "next VC" part was a joke.

    Drafting Curry would be nice, except for the fact that everyone else on the team is a shooter. Bargnani, Kapono, AP, Calderon, even Bosh most of the time. A jumpshooting team is great when they're hot, but if they're cold, you're going to need your offense to come from something else. And also, Calderon is a poor defender. If Curry and him are on the floor at the same time, the opposing guards will have a field day. So I'm going to pass on Curry.

    What did u expect from raps this year? NBA HAS CHANGED, no longer 2 good players could do well, you need ATLEAST 3 (eg, celtics, lakers, cavs)! Thats why when raps got Marion they became a decent team, the Bargs, Marion, Bosh front court OWNS bosh bargs O'neal!

    Odom and Ariza won't leave LA, especially if they win the ring this year. Infact, they probably won't leave even if they don't win this year. And I don't know if Marion is going to stay. I have a hunch he's going to leave for greener pastures.

    I'm hoping that would be DeRozan or James Harden.

    Plus he's a lefty. I'm hoping we can move up into the top 3, top pick not so much even though Griffin is a stud.

    Those teams also each have one top-5 talent. We don't have a top-15 talent, arguably. That affects everything, especially officiating.

    Do the Celtics really have a top 5 talent?

    IN THIS YEARS' PLAYOFFS yes, have a look at his FIC, he nearly average a triple double, he was number one
    Take a look here for proof

    Even right now if you were to rank the talents this year (DURING the playoffs) it would be:
    1. LeBron
    2. Kobe
    3. Melo
    4. Dwight howard
    5. Rondo
    This is simply based on production not just points scored
