    A lot of players do poorly early in there careers, and we all go, 'well I'll give him 3 years before I judge or give up on the guy.' Is there anyone this season for you that your going to give up on future wise? For me this season it's Darko Milicic, other than shotblocking he's shown very little improvement, a lot of people were predicting a breakout year for him and I didn't agree. He has not taken a step up. You guys got anyone?

    Wally Szczerbiak. I know, I know he's been hurt, but since he started pretty well in the beginning of the year, and since, even before he got hurt, he just hasn't played well. He's a step behind everyone and his shot hasn't been falling. I want this guy to succeed because he's a good guy and works hard, but I am pretty frustrated with his 3-17 type nights.

    I cant agree with you more on Darko. I was expecting him to come out, have a great season, and he has shown me no improvement what so ever. He is substantialy worse than Tony Battie IMO. I was trying to think of others and one that I am very dissapointed this year was Chris Webber. Not only have his statistics gone down a great amount, but his mentality and attitude has stayed the same. He is still selfish, he still settles from the outside, and he is still trying to be the best player on his team. (or was when AI was in town)

    No one right now. I have not been impressed at all with Marcus Banks or James Jones this season but I still think that they will turn it around, if not with the Suns then someone else.

Then why do all the Celtics fans love him? We have our 8 man rotation set so I'm not worried about him really.

He can push the ball and he's got the size to absorb contact going to the rim, but other than that he can't do a whole lot.

    Marcus Banks is a nice defender and he's tough, but he just seems to make stupid mistakes on offense and doesn't run a team effectively.

    Speedy Claxton, sure he plays good D. He's useless on offense, he makes just mindboggling mistakes. He trys to make passes he cannot make, and he can't shoot the ball worth a sh*t.

    guys, whoever is on your list, don't count them out just yet, because I can guarantee you that just about every celtics fan had tony allen on their list a few weeks ago, look at how he's playing now.

I'm pretty sure Lebron can get a ring for the Cavs too. They need to bring in more youth now though..Uh....well, I really don't think Joey Graham will be that good. His potential is not great. He doesn't know the game very well. He's got a very inconsistent jumper. If he never develops that defense that he had in college, I don't think he'll ever be an above average player in this league. He just frustrates me sometimes.

    They have LeBron for now at least...they need to hope their team management isn't as inept as Philly or Minny if they want to do anything. Without a supporting cast LeBron won't get much better.

    Yes, that is the only high point Cleveland has.We got LeBron James. The best or 2nd best in the game. Amazing player. But he can't do it all alone. Larry Hughes, Z, our Bench needs to play great ever night with James for the Cavaliers to be a team that is hard to beat. We got a solid PG in Dan Gibson and I hope S.Brown can start getting good. I sure hope we win one soon, Cleveland needs it bad.

    Andray Blatche, after a great summer league performance he's just terible during the regular season playing with no passion and therefore not seeing playing time.
