And i think Starbury will have about 8-9 apg, and Jason Kidd will continue to distrubute about 9.5-10 apg, even if K-mart is gone.

Nice <div class="quote_poster">Quoting Flames:</div><div class="quote_post"> Rebounds: Ben Wallace-Detroit Pistons:17 rpg Erick Dampier-Golden State Warriors: 9 rpg</div> Ben Wallace- 17 rpg won't happen.. I don't think you realize that Kevin Garnett was on first place for rebounds league leader on last season.. Erick Dampier- New York Knicks
Ben averaged 15 rebounds a game two years ago, there's no reason why he won't get close or get more than that this year. I expect him to be back at the top of the rebound leaders this season.
I expect Theo Ratlif to have close to four blocks again this season (he had 3.61 last season) I don't expect Ben Wallace to get more than 13 rpg. He got 15 rpg when he was younger. Playing two extra years down low really impacts your body. I'm not saying he's like Karl Malone's age but still, everybody gets old. I mean, look at MJ.
Theres no way Wallace averages 14.5 and 17.. absolutely no way.. But the funniest part of the original post was saying Ben Wallace would drop 44 points.. even if it is Dallas, its just not going to happen. Dude just doesnt have that kind of offensive game.
I expect Steve nah to get over 10 assists. He has so many scores around just like dallas. But on the some there are a few high flyers like Marion Amare ans Q-rich that will make it easy for Nash to get assists

I can see LeBron getting around 2.3 steals. Yao Ming defensive player of the year? I expect his D to improve a lot, but not that much.

Heh why not I'll do a prediction too. Yao Ming defensive player of the year? Pfftt Scoring: Kobe Bryant - 33.2 PPG Shaquille O'Neal - 29.7 PPG Allen Iverson- 27.3 (I don't care if hes moved to the PG hes still going to score a lot.) Rebounds: Kevin Garnett - 14.9 RPG Ben Wallace - 14.2 RPG Shaq- 13.6 RPG Assists: Jason Kidd-9.5 APG Steve Nash- 8.7 Stephon MArbury- 8.2 Steals: Allen Iverson - 2.94 SPG Jason Kidd - 2.43 SPG Baron Davis - 2.32 SPG Blocks: Theo Ratliff- 3.78 BPG Ben Wallace- 3.23 BPG Shaquille O Neal-3.14 MVP: Shaquille O Neal Scoring Champion: Kobe Bryant NBA Champion: San Antonio Spurs Defensive Player Of The Year: Ben Wallace Rookie Of The Year: Emeka Okafor Most Improved Player: Willie Green Sixth Man: Caron Butler(this ones hard to predict he just springs to mind) Comeback: Grant Hill( I guess this is kind of a stupid award. Allstar MVP: Allen Iverson Finals MVP: Tim Duncan All NBA 1st Team: PG Jason Kidd SG Kobe Bryant SF Kevin Garnett PF Tim Duncan C Shaquille O'Neal All NBA 2nd Team: PG Allen Iverson SG Mike Redd (break out year IMO) SF Dirk Nowitzki PF Jermaine O Neal C Yao Ming All NBA 3rd Team: G Stephon Marbury G Carmelo Anthony F Andrei Kerlienko F Chris Webber C Ben Wallace All Defensive 1st Team: Kobe Bryant Bruce Bowen Ron Artest Kevin Garnett Ben Wallace All Defensive 2nd Team: Allen Iverson Trenton Hassell Tayshaun Prince Andrei Kirleienko Tim Duncan All Rookie 1st Team: PG Jameer Nelson SG Ben Gordan SF Luol Deng PF Emeka Okafor C Dwight Howard(he'll progress fast) All Rookie 2nd Team: PG Devin Harris SG Luke Jackson SF Andre Iguodala PF Josh Childress C RAfael Araju(lack of center I guess him) I left off Livingston because he will suck right now and be good in 3 years. I also don't count Nick Collision a rookie.

But the West will win, and the MVP usually comes from the winning team.. so maybe not.
