    In the EAST, probably. But that's not saying much.

    Don't forget about Singler, Jerebko, and Kravtsov as their backup front-line. All those guys have promise. They could definitely be pretty decent.

    What? The east has the heat, Pacers, bulls, Knicks, and nets. They have a lot of good teams.

    I think Detroit did great. Jennings for 8 million a year is good. Billups will be there to mentor him too.

    I applaud Detroit for grabbing smith and Jennings for basically nothing.

    Detroit was aggressive this off season and picked up some key players. (They also got Billups).

    Detroit fans have to be excited about that team compared to where they were last year

    I hope Joe Dumars realizes that the teams play with just one ball.

    Talk about ensuing chuckfests. Horrible move for DET in my mind.

    Detroit will be better than they were, but still mired in mediocrity. Acquiring Josh Smith and Brandon Jennings AND Mo Cheeks? Meh, meh and meh. Their most exciting move was hiring Sheed as an assistant coach. But they had to do something: they had the worst attendance in the league. They better hope Drummond can stay healthy.

    I think he's talking more about the bottom tier of teams. The 8th seed in the west was many games over .500; while the 8th wasnt

    Smith hasn't seen a shot he doesn't like.

    Stuckey for sure, and Smoove shoots from the outside way too much.

    And at a horrible % too. I don't understand why he thinks he can make them? Hasn't someone given him a memo on how terrible he is 15ft and further? It's like 20%

    He's awful from 5 ft and beyond. He shoots more threes than around the rim

    Well Detriot sure knows how to make a splash, not sure if this is a good one on their part. They east is so weak that they could make the playoffs this year.

    No they didn't. They made the Finals before Mo got there. With just Boobie and Pavlovic.
