NBA Offseason

The NBA has given us a great offseason thus far, i know ive been keeping track of who's going where. If you thought last season was good next year will in my mind be a very competitive year. With the Spurs aquiring Richard Jefferson in a trade with Milwaukee and stealing Dejuan Blair in the draft there line-up of Parker, Ginobli, Finley, Jefferson, and Duncan makes them primed for success. Even though I hate the Cavaliers aquiring Shaq Daddy gives them an edge (if he stays healthy) in the East, because if you remember him on the Heat he was nearly unguardable by the East big men. The Magic's pick-up of Vince Carter could give them what they need to win the championship but it's going to be tough with the loss of Turkoglu. Back in the East the Detroit Pistons signing former UCONN teammates Ben Gordon and Charlie Villanueva could get them back to where they were a couple of years ago. As a Wizards fan i was looking forward to this season because we are getting Agent Zero back along with Brendan Haywood and we've added Randy Foye and Mike Miller but watching these other East teams add these stars makes me wonder. As long as we start playing defense and score the ball we'll see you LeBron for redemption this season. The BIGGEST move so far i think is adding Ron Artest to the Defending Champion Lakers. Although they lost Ariza who helped them a little bit, Artest brings point scoring and championship style defense which could lead the Lakers to a possible repeat. I believe though if the Boston Celtics sign Rasheed Wallace then they will be the favorite to win the championship this year. Just think about it Rajon Rondo, Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, Rasheed Wallace and a healthy Kevin Garnett guarding the rim, look out! My favorite thing about this season is going to be watching Blake Griffin play. He is a monster athlete and i said when he gets in the NBA he is going to be my favorite player, so i'm excited to see him Dominate even though he's a Clipper.
