What are the moves you think your team should make to become better? For the Bulls, I really dont think we have much to do. We could use a decent free agent signing(I believe Zo is a free agent if he doesnt retire and could definately help develope chandler) and also our lock at #2(aldridge) and I think we can just wait.
Nuggets need a shooter to get anywhere in the playoffs. Their only scoring is 'Melo and he is off some nights.
We could use some perimeter defense along with a deeper bench. Although our starters play lots of minutes it's good to have lots of depth in the bench incase of an injury or anything. Miami is in the finals right now so there really isn't much that needs to be added for now.We need a backup for Shaq if were not going to resign Alonzo and maybe a player like Ruben Patterson who can bring some defense and points.
Why would the Heat need a deeper bench? The Bench is already filled with too many scorers to start with. I can agree with the perimeter defense though, and mostly the bad perimeter D comes from Jason Williams. Gary Payton might not be the player he once was, but in a matchup agaist a non athletic PG, he can still be the Glove on a given night.
We don't have any depth, Zo Gary and Posey is depth? Zo might not return next season so thats already 1 player less and Gary is starting to age. They aren't scorers either, Zo is a defensive player and Gary provides energy. Posey hardly ever scores 10 points and is usually put in to defend and grab boards.
From what I understand, Dallas is going to try to draft a pg and a center, so the only other thing I can think of is someone to replace Jerry Stackhouse down the line. I really don't think that's an immediate concern, though.
my los angeles lakers could use a consistant point guard that plays actual defense and doesnt gamble on every defensive possesion..cough*smush parker cough* and maybe a better power forward they have odom at 3 and kwame brown playing center.I could see the lakers trading chris mihm as well but anything is possible.Also, for point guard i am really hoping the lakers get Marcus Banks,i dont know i just like his game.I dont see Mike James coming to the lakers some lakers fans are hoping for i see him wanting more money than the lakers organization would give him.also,rumor the lakers pick up penny hardaway(if hes cheap than yes)but if he wants more than MLE than forget it cuz we dont need another aaron mckie thank you very much
The Magic need a perimeter shooter that is more reliable than Hedo Turkeglu. Hedo is inconsistent at best, and I think the time is coming for the Magic to get rid of him after this season. We could also use a back up center/power forward, one that can play both positions and bang inside and will do good averaging only about 18 minutes a night or so. If we can do both of those, and get rid of Keyon Dooling, the Magic will be set to go this next season.
The Celtics need a lot of things. We need a PG more than anything. I am not comfortable with Dan Dickau (comming off a season-ending injury) and Orien Greene backing up Delonte. I would prefer a veteran PG that is a true playmaker (but then again, what vet playmaker will want to come here?), but if we go Marcus Williams, Randy Foye, or Sergio Rodriguez in the draft I won't be upset.Another thing, a center. I think Raef (as much as I like the guy) as worn out his stay in Boston. We needed the Raef of 04-05 this year, instead we got a worse Raef on a worse team with no Walker or Davis for scoring. Raef just isn't the same, his contract is terrible, and his knees are definitely paying a toll on his game. So, if we end up getting a veteran PG somehow in a trade, I wouldn't mind Patrick O'Bryant in the draft (if we wouldnt give up the pick in a trade for a PG, which is very possible).I do fear Ainge's "best player available" and "favorites" come draft time. I mean if the best player available at 7 is Brandon Roy, he does not fit here with Pierce, Wally, Allen, Green, and Gomes. Also there are reports from Chad Ford that Ainge loves Redick and has him under consideration at 7. That scares me.But yeah, so needs for the Celtics - PG, big man, and time.
A point guardIf i'm allowed to be greedy then we also need a PF just like lakersfan said. Kwame's mentally not fit to play PF, he just sucks at the position,
The Bucks need perimeter defense and someone to backup the SG/SF spots, Jiri Welsch sucks and we need a replacement.
The Raptors need a Center, point guard and a backup sg. Our young care makes up most of our team. We just have to add a few veteran pieces, and I know Colangelo will get us a starting point guard for next year :happy0144:
a leader at point guard. a solid small forward that can play some D. a couple of role players that aren't shoot first guards like we have now and also play defense. a coach that isn't named isiah thomas. a shot blocker. basically the biggest need is defense.

This team is pretty much set. It would help to get a back-up point guard but D'Antoni still likes Barbosa there. The only thing we would do is try to get a shot blocker, but that would be hard with Kurt and Diaw at center so I'm not sure what they will do with that. All I am hoping for is that they don't make any trades with the top 5 and they sign Diaw to an extension before he plays well enough for a max contract.
