    He says we are very good now, but in 5 years with Lakers getting old, Celtics done, Shaq gone, etc we will be the new kids on the block.

    I'd say we will be the best team in the league in 2011-12!

    5 years? lol. So we're going to be at our best when Roy is 30 years old? Huh.

    Not many would disagree with that but Bleacher Report is nothing but a site where members/wanna be journalists post some strange and not credible articles.

    "One of the elite teams in 5 years?" My god that's pessimistic. He should have said, "STILL one of the elite teams!" LOL

    There is no way to know who will even be on the team, or healthy, in five years. Trying to predict that far into the future is just unrealistic.

    But I like our chances!

    I think they'll be near-elite this coming season and elite in 2010-11.

    In 5 years we'll be on the downslide again.

    :confused:

    Is this guy for real? 5 years down the road, with a new CBA in the interim....I would expect 50% - 75% roster turnover in that time. We could be an elite team - or we could be scratching our lotto balls! :crazy:

    yeah...I wont even read an article like that. If this is always the case then you will face the Bulls in the finals that year right? What happend to NO this year if thats true....stuff like this is retarded, it just assumes other teams arent gonna make major moves over a five year period....you could be the best team that year, but not because of whats happening right now

    I think our window opens a lot earlier than that.

    Btw, never quote the Bleacher report in the future. It's a glorified message board with blogs.

    I'm sure some people have the same reaction to Roy being ahead of Melo or Bosh. Lists like that are just to stir up arguments. Trying to predict the top 10 players in the league 5 years from now, let alone picking a precise order, is just mental masturbation.

    considering what we were doing at the end of the regular season last year it's not a stretch to think we could be the best team in the NBA right now
