    Here's what our luck will ensure will happen:
    * the Nets win the lottery, getting the #1 pick (which means that we get their pick next year instead)
    * they trade their #1 pick to Orlando for Dwight Howard
    * as a result D-Will re-signs with the Magic (when he had been leaning to the Blazers)
    * the Nyets also sign Kirilenko
    * they become a top team in the East
    * their pick next year is in the low 20s

    Remember the other day how you asked me how much more proof I'd need to state once and for all that this team is absolutely, 100%, no-doubt-about-it cursed regarding Greg Oden and the Heat ... well this scenario would be just as good.

    *Nets move into the top-3
    *Draft Terrence Jones at #11
    *Hire Chad Buchanan as full-time GM
    *Target Darren Collison as PGOTF
    *Re-sign Batum at $11m/per

    My worst case

    Portland getting two lottery picks
    Trading both picks and Wes Matthews for Amare
    Signing Steve Nash
    Hire Chad Buchanan full time
    Hire Kaleb Canales full time
    Match an 11 million dollar offer sheet to Nic

    my worst case

    lma retires due to toenail infection
    batum becomes a meth addict and trades his playing time to babbitt for his add pills
    blazers move up to #1 and grab unibrow, who immediately gets a sex change and vows to play wnba only, in order to help "get it crackin with my laydeez"

    We've had enough worst case scenarios.... I don't want to think about that right now.

    Haven't the last 5 seasons been the Worst Case Scenario?

    More scary possibilities:

    *trading both picks for a 29 year old Danny Granger

    There were 82 games in there that weren't so bad.

    Best "realistic" scenario:

    Two lottery picks (use em or trade em)
    Sign Dragic (after failing to land Williams)
    Sign Asik
    Resign Batum (hopefully 9-10 mil)
    Resign Hickson
    Bring over Freeland

    So I'm back to having an agnostic view on curses ... part of me really wanted the proof, just for the wow factor. *sigh* oh well.

    **The management get so caught up in "immediate help" that they make the same mistake the Washington Wizards made by trading the #5 pick for Randy Foye and Mike Miller.

    You have Larry Miller and Burt running this team. Prepare for this kind of mistake!
