    There's so much to be excited about, even if the team itself isn't going to be a contender. What's got you most excited?

    I think S2's official draft thread is going to start VERY early this season.

    Lillard, of course. But I'm also excited to see if ...
    any of the young bucks will step up (especially Nolan Smith).
    any of the young eurostiffs will step up.
    we'll be able to use our capspace/youngins to make an offbalance trade.
    we'll be able to make the playoffs.

    Hey this sucks. There's a quota on how many times I can vote. Denny must be from Chicago. Mayor Daley took away the excitement of this poll.

    Back in the day on ESPN, I once wanted a poll to go my way, so I used about 12 screen names on it. This board needs BobWhitsittsGhost !

    I picked Stotts, just because I'm anxious to see a real offense and not the shit that McMillan rolled out there for the past 6 years.

    Can I vote twice? Lol.
    I can't wait to see Lillrad and LMA together but not having Nate as the coach with a real PG makes me so so so happy.

    Actually three things you didn't mention:
    1. WILL BARTON!
    2. Batum's last chance to prove that he's not just a role player
    3. England's own JOEL FREELAND!

    If I had to pick one of the options you did give, it would be Lillard by a mile. I have NO expectations of Leonard (I predict under 15 mpg, 5ppg, 4rpg), see Stotts as totally an in-betweeny filler coach (he'll need to help a girl sing the National Anthem to last more than a season and a half), don't give a shit about future lotto picks and am more anxious than excited about Aldridge.

    Of the options provided it is #1 in a landslide for me. IF the option of "watching the Lakers fail despite adding Steve Nash and Dwight Howard" was available, I would have had a tougher decision.

    Gotta go with the new coach. I am jazzed about all the new guys, but no matter who is on the team, the vision is created by the coach.
