I doubt the Sonics will have the worst record in the League, not with talents like Ray Allen and Rashard Lewis on the team. It just can't happen with some of the offensive talents they have on their team. Also, Luke Ridnour is good at running an offense. He is a smart player, and a good passer. Earl Watson is a good pg. He can score points, and also defend.I just don't see them having the worst record in the League, even with their sh*tty defense. No one with Ray Allen and Shard Lewis will have the worst record in the NBA.

In the draft, they picked up a guy that does the same exact thing that they have now at the center position. A young, and below average center that isnt ready for a starting position. I dont think they will have the worst record but i dont like seeing the same thing put up there everytime. If i had to bet on any team, it would be the knicks but i just dont know...Its hard for me to believe with all that talent that they dont have an opportunity to do well. And with the Bobcats, they drafted an NBA ready player that will get them 15 a night and their young roster is improving everyday. Also, they were injured for alot of the season so their record this season was very misleading. Also, Portland picked up two young studs in the draft that are going to help them out considerabley.It is really a tossup between a decent number of teams this year...I just dont know.

Also, there would be no discussion if the same 3 teams were put down every single time. Why do you think the Knicks will have the worst record? You never explained why.
What? I said the Knicks would have the worst record, and if you need an explanation then it is because they have poor chemistry, poor defense, alot of their big men are just scrubs, and because of the fact that basketball is only played with one ball on the court.Yeah, but you said that you didn't think they would have the worst record. Read the title, this is for members to guess which teams will have the best and worst records.

And for the Knicks, they are playing under a different coach now. Even though he might not be that good of one, he selected these players and when he was doing so, he had a role for all of them. Stephon said he is glad that Larry is out so he will now play harder. They have just as much talent as the Sonics do so i dont see why my pick is so much worse than yours.....And since when was Eddie Curry a scrub? He averaged over 16 a game two years ago....And they have Channing Frye who is young and talented. He didnt get enough minutes last year and he will this year.And I read the title, I just figured i wasnt going to put the same thing as everybody else and having a boring thread. So my way of direction seems to be working doesnt it?Now i have to go to work so peace out
I never said "all" of their bigs were scrubs. I used the word alot. And that is true, well Channing Frye and Eddy Curry are not scrubs, I would classify Jerome James, Malik Allen and Mo Taylor as scrubs. Heck, even Renaldo Balkman could be classified as a potential scrub for next season.And theirs a difference between the Sonics and the Knicks. The Sonics don't have chemistry problems. They have a point guard committed to running an offense, and two 24 ppg threats in Ray Allen and Rashard Lewis. And Ray Allen is also the best shooter in the League, so that helps alot. The Knicks on the other hand have tons of guards who all want to have their hands on the ball, and they have a ball hog who is a complete dope btw in Stephon Marbury. They have chemistry issues, and none of their guards come through and score the type of points like Ray Allen and Rashard Lewis did. Also, their big men are coming along. Robert Swift and Nick Collison had glimpses of greatness out there last year. And who knows yet? Saer Sene could have a good year. He is raw, but he is talented, athletic, long arms, and a good shotblocker, who is also lightning quick compared to other bigs. You never know how well he will do.Anyway, that's all for now.
Best: Dallas or Phoenix (I can't choose, it's gunna be very close)Worst: Portland (they have some very nice young pieces though)
