    Too tough to say where my Miami Heat will be. Im assuming still an elite team in the NBA. Shaq will be nearing retirement conflicts, Wade will be a top 3 player in the league, then the big question marks are for Dorell Wright, Earl Barron, and Wayne Simien. If these guys can tap into their potential, Miami will have a scary team with veteran leadership from James Posey, Antoine Walker, and Jaso Williams.But like what I said before, its too early to say.

    umm..at the bottom?The Hawks would be so much better if they had drafted Chris Paul.CP3-Joe-JSmith-Harrington-Zaza?insane..Josh Smith is really seriously starting to develop some real game..Joe looks like an all-star every night, if he doesnt score 20 he gets 10-15 assists..Harrington has an outside game now, which really helps him..Salim looks to me like he could be AT BEST, a Michael Redd type platyer, except smaller..but maybe even like his cousin Damon Stoudamire..Marvin improves every month and hes getting so much confidence now..I hope he keeps working as hard as he is now, if he does, he could possibly be an all-star in the future..

    The Raps will be in good shape in 3 years. I think we will have the 3rd seed by then. Here's why.Chris Bosh will be a monster by then. I see him being a 26 ppg, 11 rpg guy in 2009. Charlie V will be starting at SF beside him. Charlie will be a 17 ppg, 8 rpg guy. He is a good rebounder, he is rough around the inside and a nice shooter. I see us signing Magloire as he is a fa in 2 years and he publicly stated that he wants to come to T-dot. I'd like to still have Peterson around, he is a great shooter, good defender, takes charges and just a great guy, never complains or anything. At sg I see us having Brewer. He's an excellent driver, he will probably have a decent jumper by then, he is a good defender. He reminds me of a very poor man's Dywane Wade. Pg is a question mark. We have tons of options there. We can either keep Jose as starting point, he is a great playmaker, has to work on his scoring game though or we could go for Roko Ukic who is supposedly better then Jose and he supposedly has a nice shot and is also an elite playmaker. Or we could go for Daniel Gibson in this coming draft or draft a point later on. We can sign a pg also to be there for a few years. Joey Graham, will be an attacker off the bench, I like him, he attacks the rim, shoots at a high percentage, good shooter. So, we will have a very good lineup by then. I see it beingC-MagloirePF-BoshSF-VillanuevaSG-BrewerPG-Jose/Ukic/Gibson/???

    I see us the Atlantic division leaders. I already have a complicated plan for next year in the Cs section, but i'll go assuming we don't make any big deals, just FA signings and picks.First, we sign Speedy Claxton. There's really no way of determining if he actually wants to play for Boston, so that's just a toss up. But honestly, 3 years is not very long. Paul will still be in his prime, and not alot of big teams will be on the decline by then. Here's a projection by position(just w/ who we have now):PG:Delonte West-He is really transforming into a true PG. He's making excellent decisions, and he can be a leader on the floor. Not to mention he has a very pure stroke. Stats? I'm expecting something close to 18 ppg, 6 apg, 6 rpg.Orien Greene-His role is simple. Play defense. By now, another playmaking PG will have come in, and OG will possibly be moved to the SG. Stats? Possibly 5 ppg, 3 apg, 2+ spg.SG:Wally Szczerbiak- This is about time he really starts breakng down. His knees are going, and when his contract expires, i'm not sure if the Cs will re-sign him. Stats? maybe 12 ppg, 4 rpg, 3 apg.Gerald Green- He will pretty much just be a scorer, although he does show some great ability to crash the boards. I'm not sure how he will fit in. Could be the team's sixth man w/ Wally breaking down. Stats? Not sure, but let's say 12 ppg, 6 rpg SF:Paul Pierce-Still in his prime, but declining. he's become more of a leader than anything now, as the team is less dependent on his talent. Stats? Something close to 20 ppg, 6 rpg, 3 apg.PF:Al Jefferson-He will be the low post player. Recently he has been sharing the ball, which was a big concern earlier this year. he seemed only interested in scoring, but now he is more of a team player. Stats? hmm.. 16 ppg, 9 rpg, 1 bspg.Ryan Gomes-He is the perfect fit for this team. He hustles, he can score, he's a team player. He could very well end up being this team's brightest young player. Stats? How about 15 ppg, 8 rpg, 3 apgC:Kendrick Perkins-His role will be to clear the boards and protect the basket. Maybe sooner or later he'll realize that he doesn't have an offensive game, so he'll focus more on defense. Stats? Along the lines of 5 ppg, 12 rpg, 3 bspg.This ofcourse won't be how the stats work out, but it's fun to speculate. Some of these will work out, others won't. This core plus a few other players could be dangerous.

    i'd like to say in the playoff mix but i don't think the knicks will even be under the cap by then. so probably still a lottery team. it would be nice if they made the playoffs but the knicks have been cursed with bad luck. everything that could possibly go wrong does.

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Come on. Kendrick Perkins will be lucky to get 5 rpg.</div>Like yours makes sense? You got Bosh and Villa avg 19 boards together, and you don't even acknowledge Magloire's boards. No way Bosh and Villa avg that much with Magloire also rebounding.On the Perkins note, I think he can avg more then 5 in 3 years easy. That's his forte.

    i said he'd be lucky to average 5 so that means that he could average more. 12 is going way, way, way overboard. I think mine actually does make sense. Villa will be the backup center and pf as well so he will grab alot of boards when Magloire or Bosh is sitting out. magloire will get like 6 or 7 so 11, 8, 7. It is possible.

In the six games before his injury, he was averaging 11 rpg. Once again, don't talk about stuff you have no clue about.

    Because in 3 years he will be regressing and he won't get as many boards with Bosh on the team and also with CV.

    Knicks:Barely better than now... Unless they get the team more balanced. And they are way too far over the salary cap.

    If we make good trades, healthy roster and a better coach [​IMG]I think around 4-5th seed.
