RGM Lottery Summits

Hey posters,

First of all, I'm sorry that your team wasn't able to make the playoffs. You know I'm in the same boat, so I definitely identify with you. I am looking to put together NBA Summits for the fourteen Lottery teams as the playoffs get underway...that should keep things interesting for all parties...

I put together a ton of these on the NFL forums heading into next weekend's draft and they have been wildly successful. I hope for the same here, and I know the population of these boards will lend itself to many responses.

Editor Chris Reina and I have put together these seven question for you all to answer, with the best answers making it into posted pieces on our main page. The only thing that I ask is that you please limit your responses to two sentences per question. Please try your best to heed that request, it makes the Summits easier to read and quicker to put together.

Thanks gang, and best of luck in the Lottery.

1. What could the team have done different to make the playoffs?
2. Where were the team

For starters, the personnel could have been better suited to Wade's and Shaq's abilities. They went after slashers like Ricky Davis, and let shooters and role players, like Kapono and Posey respectively, go. Now, we needed to add a third scorer and a more durable point guard, but we need to keep Posey and Kapono while doing so. We just didn't have the monetary resources to do it without paying the luxury tax.

Injuries and age did play a huge part in Miami's downfall, but even had we been healthy, the team was fundamentally flawed from the beginning. Also, expecting Shaq to be the second option when he clearly just doesn't have it in him anymore, was probably not the best move, but one born out of necessity, given our cap structure.

2. Where were the team
