Which Teams Early Season Distractions Will Sink Them ?
Posted: Fri Sep 18, 2009 6:46 am
OK were about 2 weeks away from the opening of training camps across the league. Some teams are ready to roll with no major problems or distractions that could doom them. While others have potential C4 waiting to blow their whole season apart.
I'm going to list some teams with potential disasters lying in wait for them, or you can list your own if you have any. Then let's assess the situations.
1.Utah Jazz- The Boozer situation, he's repeatedly ran to the media all summer with his request to be traded. Recently Derron Williams made his comments on the matter. Sounding as if he won't care if Boozer is gone, but would still play with him if need be. Remember a unhappy player is a mad player.
2. Golden St. Warriors- Stephen Jackson's escape request, just out the blue while in New York he says he doesn't think he'll be in the Bay area much longer. Gunz is smart, he's seen this team rot before his eyes. No BD, Barnes or Harrington from that magical playoff run when they treated the Mavs like rag dolls. And to make matters worse, the league find him for stating his displeasure publicly. Didn't Kobe do the same damn thing 2 years ago.........while under contract like Jackson ?
Another mad man on the loose.
3.Denver Nuggets - This is a reach but did anybody else get the feeling their season ended with the brewing of a Karl/ Chauncey feud festering ? In Karl's closing speech he mentions all the guys that the Denver media should write good stories about. But he failed to mention Smooth, Billups was the sole reason for the run in the first place. An knowing Karl like I do, everything he touches eventually turns to dust. But again I could be way off on this so we'll see what's up.
4. Miami Heat -Dwayne Wade's future, boy how things turn around, it was only a short time ago that board member here was scrapping with Heat board members on a daily basis. I know because I had my battles there. Anyway Wade hasn't committed to the Heat and he want's to see the team improve real quick. Now with Beasley needing help for drug use and no major free agent pick up on top of the fact Wade buys a spot in Chicago.......things look bleak in South Beach. I'm sorry but I gotta do this......I told them on their board that they'd be done in 4 or 5 years after the "Trade".
OK family post what you think.
