Not too bad. They said if we can add a PF to go with Hibbert, Granger, Ford, and Rush we should contend and get to the finals. And Lose. Your thoughts??

He pretty much said Brandon Roy was a sure fire hall of famer while saying that Durant "could be one of the best players in the NBA." I lost respect for the article after that. And I think I'd take the Warriors future over ours..

That's scary...that we are the 8th best young team in the NBA...

Which means when you consider the older teams, we stink...

That guy has absolutely no clue what he is talking about. Seems like each team has at least 3 HOF's in his eyes.

Don't we have three? :wink:

Does Bird count as one?

I would say Bird counts as about 4.

i lost respect for the article when adam morrison was implied to be a promising young player.

The guy misspelled 10% of the players' names! Far above acceptable for someone on a forum, far below acceptable for someone who's writing an article. PP can correct me if I'm wrong on this, but I was always led to believe that spelling was one of the more important things in an article you've written for the purpose of making people believe you have any idea what you're talking about.

Just goes to show how important his own article was to him. He didn't even bother to double-check facts.

Also, this is kind of a ridiculous article. He only looked at the individual players on each team. Those players can scoot around to different clubs very quickly (consider that we're stocking up on picks and looking to still trade several pieces) and he didn't take into account any of the other things that occur within the normal span of an off-season.

Personally, I also make sure I spell a player's name correctly. I'd find it insulting if someone couldn't even take the take to spell mine properly.

Just checked it out a little more, that's a blog...far different than anything you'll read on RealGM.

How could there possibly be a discussion of future Hall of Famers and there hasn't been a single mention of Stanko? Shame on you. Shame on all of you.
