On your respective teams, if you could drop one player, and add another to increase your chances of winning a championship - who would it be?I gotta go with the obvious pick for the Pistons, Nazr Mohammed.Nazr Mohammed should only be a temporary substitute for Ben Wallace - a huge loss. Replacementwight Howard - One of the great up and coming centers in the league...he fits the mold for the 'new' NBA - which is really focused on scoring, he could def do some damage in Detroit...Chauncey Billups PGRichard Hamilton SGTayshaun Prince SFRasheed Wallace PFDwight Howard C = U N S T O P P A B L E.
I'm guessing this is people in the starting lineupDrop- MihmReplacement-BrandFix up our shot blocking woes. Penetration would be that much harder with a shotblocker like brand. Kwame and brand would be one the best defenisve C/PF's in the nba. Odom moves back to the 3 which he is better at.pg- smushsg- kobesf- odompf- brandc- KwameAnd with out improved bench it's championship quality team.
Drop: Brian ScalabrineAdd: Dwight Howard/KG/Elton Brand/Tim DuncanThe Celtics would be unstoppable..PG- Telfair/RondoSG- Szczerbiak/West/AllenSF-Pierce/Green/GomesPF- Howard (or either one listed)/Gomes/JeffersonC- Perkins/Jefferson/RatliffThat'd give us ridiculous depth.
Seattle.Drop- *insert starting centre here* (I dont know who they will go with)ADD a Healthy Amare Stoudemire. This would give the Sonics alot. A productive inside presence and an athletic guy who fits in with thier faster style. It also gives them a decent defensive presence inside, and some rebounding. That is something they seriously lack.Starting lineupC. Amare StoudemirePF. Chris WilcoxSF. Rashard LewisSG. Ray AllenPG. Luke RidnourThis would a very Athletic team. Capable of rivaling Phoenix for speed. With Ray and Rashard on the wings hitting three's and Wilcox and Amare taking care of business in the middle they would be very competitive. Sadly the sonics are past one player making them a championship contender, but this team ^^^ would at least get out of the first round of the playoffs!! Or to the playoffs at least on a side note.... Is it just me or is Amare alot like Shawn Kemp? Super Explosive big guy with the ability to take mid-range? I saw a Game with Kemp (96 finals) recently and HE was so f*cking fast on the block I was shocked. He also put it on the floor more than I thought, at one point he even ran the ball down and started the offense. The speed and style reminded me of Amare!!!
Drop Dale Davis, add the first pick of the 2007 NBA draft. PG Chauncey Billups / Lindsey Hunter / Alex Acker (I don't like Blalock)SG Richard Hamilton / Flip Murray / Carlos DelfinoSF Tayshaun Prince / Amir Johnson / Ronald DupreePF Rasheed Wallace / Antonio McDyess / Darko.... NevermindC Greg Oden / Nazr Mohammed / Kelvin Cato

Drop. Chris Webber(Sorry C-Webb). Add Dwight Howard.He would be great for us. A big powerful force downlow to block, board and score. It will be a great shot blocking force with Hunter, Dalembert, and Howard all down there. This woul also help Iggy. With all of the double teams that Howards would be getting would free up Iggyand Korver, and Howard could make great passes to them to make them better scorers.Lineup:G:IversonG:IguodalaF:KorverF:HowardCalembert
Drop Jason Kapono and add Chris Paul. Gets us some more youth and a great passer. Dwyane Wade and Chris Paul would easily be the best backcourt in the NBA for probably about the next 7-8 years.Chris Paul/Gary PaytonDwyane Wade/Jason Williams (somehow get rid of him and his horrible contract)Antoine Walker/James PoseyUdonis Haslem/Wayne SimienShaquille O'neal/Alonzo MourningBeau-ti-fulI know a young center would be an ideal pick for us too, so if not Paul I'd probably go with SunnyD's idea and take Greg Oden.

Webber is just useless to us at this point.
On the spurs If I were the GM the one starter I would drop would be Francisco Elson. I would replace him with Chris Wilcox. Wilcox would fit almost perfectly in the spurs puzzle. He is young, he finishes strong close to the basket, he is a rebounding machine, and he has the potential to be a great defender. He would be perfect.
Drop Kenyon Martin add Dwight Howard. Can you imagine a rebounding duo like Howard and Camby?This would give us a line-up of Andre Miller, JR Smith, Carmelo Anthony, Dwight Howard, and Marcus Camby.Lets play the same game and drop/add a bench player also. I would drop Jamal Sampson and add Mike Miller, We get our much needed shooting and a good role player overall.
If we do the bench thingrop Dale DavisAdd Ike Diogu....cheap move by me, because Ike is still young, but it's for the best.
