Which would you rather havewight Howard Jameer Nelson JJ RedickHedo TurkogluGrant HillDarko MilicicOR Gilbert ArenasCaron ButlerAntawn JamisonDeShawn StevensonAntionio DanielsDarius SongailaBrendan HaywoodJarvis HayesHill is still consistent, but he's only going to give you around 14-15 ppg if he plays 60 games. I dont see how that is such a big difference.

Either way he'll be better than Tim Thomas and last year without Banks(an actually back-up PG) Amare and TT they were on pace for 60 wins until Kurt went down. They aren't going to get worse for no reason. Adding Amare and Banks will help. They are one of the top teams in the league and should AT LEAST make the conference finals again.

He won't be as ferocious obviously, but will do decently enough to carry us far. Suns are definitely the strongest they've been under Nash. And he doesn't have to play as much, either.
Yes and to add on to what I said, his knee is 100% healthy. His problem is mental and he still needs to build the strength in his knee. During his very long time rehabbing he has also improved other parts of his game. No more dunks like against Adonal Foyle but he'll still play well.<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>There's like 2 people saying they'll win and the rest of the world saying the Mavs will return to the Finals.

And why did you leave in Orlando's supporting cast? We have the better team, more experience, leadership, and continuity. Hill wont do sh*t for the Magic. That injury will never go away and his numbers are just suffering. I say he averages 9-10 ppg or so. We have better role players than Orlando, too: Daniels, Songaila, Stevenson, Haywood.. you're definitely underrating them and you're not thinking how important they are to the Wizards.

Its great seeing you guys putting us out of the playoffs, after all our roster says so. But again, you are underestimating the triangle and phil jackson. I guarentee you, we will make the playoffs.

I'm still thinking about it.
Where's the love for Kevin Martin He broke out last season and really made an impact for the Kings during the playoffs and I think this is the season that Kevin Martin breaks out and I think he'll average around 18 ppg for the Kings next season and I'm telling you, the Sacramento Kings are going to the Western Conference Finals next season...you heard it here first.
