Who in the league need to be more realistic than optomistic and get off their death-trap teams?<u>Let me start</u>Kevin GarnettAllen IversonJermaine O'NealJason RichardsonPaul PierceThere are many others (and I know you know who they are)...... Get started!!
KG, atleast they gave Iverson enough to get the finals, although the East was pretty weak that year as I recall. 2001 right?
Kevin GArnett is the biggest problem.JRich, I'd like to see him on another team, it'd be pretty interesting
KG, The easier one. What about Kobe? I mean nothing is really going to happen with the Lakers for a few years by time he retires. I know he already has three rings but why not more?
AK-47 and Chris Bosh, although Toronto is in the hunt for the playoffs.Al Harrington is being realistic by getting out of Atlanta. When he does, at least.

definitely KG. McHale's an idiot, and there's no way he could put a winning team together.I don't think it's quite the same situation for JRich or Pierce, bc they are heading in the right direction, and JRich is still very young.

Hes only had to feel for 1 season what its like to be on a losing team anyways. I mean they did get in this year as the 7th seed so two seasons ago was really the only bad one for him. I mean the dude has three rings.The two for me are obviously KG and AI. Both deserve a ring more than almost anybody in the NBA. They deserve a lot more than what they are getting.

There really only a piece or two away..

Jerry Buss and the Lakers organization will try everything possible to get a good team around Kobe Bryant. The Lakers are one of the best franchises in all of sports in trying to produce a winning team every year. Really, i think it goes Yankees, Manchester United(for those that don't know, it's a british soccer club), Red Wings, and the Lakers as the best franchises in the world in any sport for trying to produce wining teams.They try to make moves for Allen Iverson often, bringing in player that they think will be good to compliment him, and it never seems to work. Chris Webber, Glenn Robinson, Dikembe, Keith Van Horn they are always trying to bring in talent around him. The talent just never seems to work. I think that Garnett is the one that has had the least done for him, and needs to get himself traded. It seems that only one year have i seen that franchise and management try to bring in legit people around him. Other than that one year, the rest of the time Garnett has been with the T'wolves, they have given him almost nothing to work with.
Kevin Garnett has to leave the Wolves. Hes in a team thats scoring the 3rd lowest PPG in the league and the 2nd lowest 3-point % in the league. They outright suck. He should IMO go to Cleveland, where he would be the perfect compliment for LeBron James
Why is Chris Bosh signing with the Raptors a bad move? They are young, however they seem to actually be playing the right way as of late. They bring in a #1 draft pick, make some trades, and BOOM!You have a playoff squad on the rise. Look out!
Maybe if Jason Richardson played defense and played more effciently and was more a leader his team wouldn't suck so much.

And KG had Cassell, and deff more then AI. AI #2 so called guys: Webber after knee surgery, old, and on one leg. Glenn Robinson, Van Horn, w/e those guys are not real #2 espacially when we had/have them.AI, and KG playing together will be a great story. I want AI to stay in Philly, but our gm just can't build around him. So why not trade him for Davis, Hassell, Griffen, and the 6th pick. AI will get the best chance to win a title with KG, and the Sixers get to rebuild sounds good to me.
