i don't think that the pacers will be that good. they are always conflicting against each other. and they have ron artest the cancer. i think this is how the seeding will be(home court advantage) 1. nets 2. hornets 3. magic 4. pistons. i'm biased and i hate the pistons though.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting "allnet":</div><div class="quote_post">:roll: Just by signing howard? you are on crack...joe D will make a move....or sign someone else....Free-agency is only just starting...so wait til the off-season is over to go judging other teams...and if magic are better or not</div> i kinda agree with shape, this wasn't the smartest move, but it wasn't a bad thing they picked him up.
so the line up will be: pg-gaines/? sg-t-mac/sasser/bogans sf-giricek/garrity pf-gooden/garrity/kemp c-howard/kemp with more money to spend but not sure how much.
Magic didn't fill their needs....so really it isn't as great a signing as you think...gooden sucks at playing SF...howard can't play center....
it will be more like pg-gaines/darell(he's resigning with us) sg-tmac/sasser sf-giricek/bogans pf-gooden/garrity c-howard/pachilia/hunter we will have 2 exceptions left(IE, LLE)
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting "truemaster14":</div><div class="quote_post">pistons :thumbsdown: magic :thumbsup:</div> i agree! But they better not move Gooden to a 3 (which I heard) cuz he needs to develop at his position. The thing is though why cant they just play both howard and gooden in the front court? It would work out great if they both sorta play the 4. Ya know what i mean?
from juwan howard website..looks like him to magic might not be true? <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">First I'd like to say hello to all of my fans out there. I just want to give you all my official report on my free agency status. I have not decided which team I am going to continue my career with.

It means a lot that you have been so appreciative for what I've done for the city and the organization. I have enjoyed the last year and a half in Denver.

The city of Denver and the Nuggets organization will always have a strong place in my heart. As I said before, I will make my decision about my basketball future in a week. I have been weighing all of my options - the pros and cons of each scenario. I have some very good choices in front of me and now I have some tough choices to make. It is good to have choices of course. This is going to be one of the most important decisions of my career and I just want to make sure that I make the right one. Juwan </div>
i agree, gooden should remain at the 4 and howard can move from the 3 or 5 based on the matchups. good point rocko on the magic keeping howard away from detroit. it would be very tough for the magic to contend if the pistons had signed howard as well. unless he didn't fit in their system and they made a move to ship out corliss, who already fits well. next year the top 4 teams in the east should be: 1. nets 2. pistons 3. celtics 4. magic

A magic fan on espn says on the radio..howard is going to wolves <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">you will never learn......even after its reported that he signed with the magic you are still saying hes going somewhere else</div> Check his damn website...and the magic board on ESPN....
i'm pretty sure he's going to sign with the magic. it's interesting he posted all the rumors about him saying he's signing with this and that team. juwan weren't you the one who actually said those things and started these rumors?
