    My main squad is the 76ers and I really think the need either a big man or a 3 point shooter. I kinda think a big man is out of the question and think they should definitely go for either Childress or Gordon. They would be the perfect compliment to AI. Even though every year the 6ers bring in someone is supposed to be the perfect compliment to AI, for example - Hughes, Robinson, Stackhouse, Kukoc, Tim Thomas, etc. Same old story over and over again. Jim O'brien was saying they are going to 1st look at HS talent and Foreign players in this yr's draft.

    I think the Wizards need a SF, biggest hole, or a C to compliment Kwame, or a PF because Kwame can also play the C

    Is Kwame even worth getting a compliment? That dude is the biggest 1st pick flop in the past 10-12 years. I actually think they need a compliment for Arenas and Stackhouse.

    My team is the T-Wolves.

    Our needs: A Center and a backup PG. Kandi has been a huge bust this year and we don't really have a top center. We need a backup PG because Sam is getting old and I think Hudson is a FA.

    Uhh have you ever heard of guys like Michael Olowakandi and Joe Smith? And if you actually watched a Wizard game or two you would see the skills that Kwame has, and the consistency he displayed last year, he is going to be a star in this league. And if you watched a Wizards game you would also realize that Stackhouse is a cancer to our team, that he is on the outs in Washington, we dont need him, he turns the ball over too many times, he shoots too much, he is old and washed up and doesnt belong on the Wizards lineup..then you would know that we Wizard fans dont want Stackhouse anymore and that he is more than likely to get traded this offseason.

    How is Kwame a flop? he has been in the league for only 3 years, there are only 2 players that have made an impact right out of HS...Lebron and Amare. It took Kobe 3 years, Jermaine Oneal 6, KG 4, TMac 4...I dont see anything different in the rate that Kwame has grown?

    The Chicago Bulls don't really need a point guard because they have Henrich and Crawford, so they really don't need someone like Shaun Livingston or Ben Gordan.

    For the shooting guard position, they need that one. But there aren't that many good shooting guards in the draft - an okay selection would be Tim Pickett, in the second round.

    For a small forward, which we pretty much need since Pippen is pretty much gone, the only good choice would be Luol Deng, the player the Bulls most likely will pick in their turn of the draft for the 1st round.

    The power forward position is mostly dominated by Chandler, so no reason taking a PF.

    For a center, instead of Eddy Curry, the Bulls sure could use David Harrison also in the second round (32nd overall pick).

    Pretty much, the Bulls are screwed again once in their draft, after a 5th consecutive season failure.

    The Sonics need a center or power forward who can score in the post and a defensive stopper shooting guard/small forward.

    As shown in the series against Detroit, we need a back up PG and an efficient C. Our greatest concern would be to get a back up PG since we have the probability of Zo returning and Nenad coming in so getting a back up PG is our primary concern.

    The Sixers really need a SF (Childress anyone?) and a backup PG.

    Well how many Sixers game have you watched?Sam Dalembert is a improving center and a tremendous shot blocker,and we have a pure three point shooter in Kyle Korver.I think the Sixers need a PG who can come off the bench and be a scoring threat,either that or a different SF and then deal Robinson,I would rather have a younger athletic SF that plays defense.

    As a Kings fan, I think that they should look at getting a point guard (preferrabaly one with some college experience) to be the thrid point guard on the depth chart in case Sacramento will not be able to hold on to Bobby Jackson after the 04-05 season. As a Raptors fan also, I think that they should also look at a guard to backup Alvin Williams.

    My team is the Raptors, and we are dire need of a good Point Guard. IMO we should draft Devin Harris and hope he can bring some immediate impact and help to our team.
    If we couldn't draft a PG we should draft a Centre as we do not have a true Center.

    Yeah, but is Samuel Dalembert a true center? I don't think so, a true center has some weight and mass in their body structure. Sammie was pushed around like a rag doll by most centers w/ size. Some of these guys aren't good and some are but did you see him get bumped around wuth ease by O'Neal, Gadzuric, Ming, Magloire, Vlade, Big Ben, etc. This guy needs a major training program to gain some weight, I understand and he does look promising but do you wish for once the 76ers had a nice big center with center skills. And Sixers need a guy who can be inserted in the starting lineup to hit 3's not someone who comes off the bench and plays 10-15 mins. if that. I think Josh Childress would be a great fit for the 76ers in be in the starting lineup because he is a true SF buy being a scorer, slasher, defender, and a shooter. I also like Gordon because eventually I think he will become a PG in the NBA and he'd fit nice and bring scoring at that position and 3 point shooting. He's also like 6'3 or 6'4 which means he could also learn to be a PG who posts up smaller PG's like how Kidd, Cassell, and Payton do. Enough Said !!

    Mine is Pacers, and the only thing they need, is a 2guard that got D, and I think INDY scouts are looking for someone international player.

    As a Raptors fans, id be happy with a PG or a SG/SF.. Rose and Williams can both play PG, Carter, Rose and Williams can all play SG, and Carter and Rose can play SF. So im good with Devin Harris or Josh Childress. The lineup would look like this:

    PG - Devin Harris/Jalen Rose
    SG - Jalen Rose/Vince Carter
    SF - Vince Carter/Josh Childress
    PF - Donyell Marshall
    C - Chris Bosh

    Id also like to see us get a Center in free agency who can allow Bosh to see time at PF.

    Knicks need a post player, though there's not much chance of them getting one with a low 2nd round pick. I would say they should go after a SG (hearing good things about Xavier's Sato), but I hope they keep Dermarr Johnson and let him play.

    Chris Bosh natural position is PF. He dosen't have the body or the durability for a career at centre. Teams in the east can usually get by with a makeshift centre but it would nice for the raptors to shore up their frontcourt. Bosh and the raptors would be more effective if they had a true centre.
