Look on the bright side...

At least we are going to win the division.

Sure we aren't going to improve the roster that we currently have, but at least we are in a weak division. The Wizards are the only threat to us but I just think we are a much better unit than them, despite them being more talented.

Doesn't really matter if FA just started. The GM is Otis and he's happy with this team. Now that Miami seems to lure Dooling away we can look forward to this lineup next year.

Nelson/Arroyo
Lee/Redick
Hedo/Bogans
Lewis/Cook
Howard/Battie/Gortat

So don't be claiming the division title just yet. A healthy Wizards squad can do it, the HAwks are much improved after taking Boston to 7, depends on if they lose Josh Smith and add pieces. The Heat are going to make the playoffs this year. If Otis is happy with that line-up its bad news.

It's either pick up Maggette to stay on top this year and maybe another PF. Doubtful that Hedo will be dealt for a star PG or PF.

Evans needs to stay on the roster. He can hit an open 3.

If we don't sign Maggette, I hope Otis makes sure Evans is still on the team.

Bogans starting at SG next season = WEAK

I'll personally pull a Nancy Kerrigan on Bogans if he's starting next season.

LOL, so the Magic will use the full MLE to re-sign Arroyo and won't use the LLE, or any vet minimum contract? You're just ridiculous in your hate against Otis. :lol: Please go away for the sanity of this board.

No, I'm just saying that Otis will sit and do nothing, by which time there will be no one worth giving the MLE too, he'll just waste it. So we won't even have Arroyo. It's basically same team minus Dooling, Evans, Arroyo, GArrity and adding back Battie and Lee.

Times are rough when people are hoping for Evans to be the starting 2 guard next year haha. The FA isn't over yet people need to wait to complain about things.

I apologize people. You are right, we need to give Otis' creative financing another shot. I'm sure he will load up this roster with talent.

I'm not sure if this is sarcasm but if it isn't I'll be the first I'll never ever trust Otis Smith. I do trust Howard and SVG though, but I'm not going to complain about anything that has to do with this offseasons moves until the offseason is over. Complaining now is pointless cause he could go out tomorrow and make a great move while thats very very unlikely it could happen.

Washington and maybe Miami is our competition for the division.

But it's not really not winning about winning divisions.

I'm saying we need to get deeper into the playoffs. and upgrades are necessary.
