Central Division
Atlanta Hawks
This team is winning a lot of games and I’m not sure why. They have a really nice front court featuring Big Z and JO yet have a really over-performing and achieving back court. I commend Bender or not rolling over dieing like most of the leagues GM’s, however I’d like to see him go all out and aquire another special peace to place alongside this teams dynamic duo.
Final Grade: B
New Orleans Hornets
Their last GM left them in a spot of bother, however their new GM seems to be taking them into a new, healthier direction. In saying that, they still suck. No pick for two years, a decent corner stone player in Williams and the most overpaid player in the league rotting on your bench in Rip Hamilton. Why the hell would anyone want him? Anyway, I’d like to see this team deal Harrington in a Nash-esque deal (same form as their Nash deal in where they picked up Bassy) and aquire another project player at either the 4 or 5 spot.
Final Grade: D+
Chicago Bulls
I sometimes wonder how we will ever beat this team (even though we beat them during the season). They have Camby who they picked up for dirt cheap off the terrible T-Wolves, Brand and Dirk along with JJ (who they also picked up for dirt cheap from the Hornets) and Manu Ginobilli. God, I wish shit teams wouldn’t deal with top teir teams because all they do is make them stronger and also make it harder for their own team to ever compete because they have simply been making the rich richer for the last 3 years. *Takes a breath* Rant over. No wait, if you suck, don't trade your good players to Krup because you will most likely get ripped. Fuck you Chicago.
Final Grade: A+
Cleveland Cavaliers
I like this team, but I think they are similar to Atlanta where by they need something else to really make them a good team. Gordon is till young, as is Barbosa and Wallace so really watch out for this team in a few years. LaFrentz and Kenyon is a nice little duo down low which I like. An interesting team, one that I would never assemble yet very interesting, talented and young. I like them.
Final Grade: B+
Detroit Pistons
Another team that just keeps on getting better and better. The funny thing is though, is that they are also getting younger and younger. They just recently picked up LeBron James for a bag of chips and a doggie biscuit, and managed to somehow trade Jason Kidd to a team who is rebuilding around another point guard in Chris Paul for Charlie Villanueva. Get those two guys and surround them with Darko, Prince, TJ Ford and Artest and you have something. Oh, I also forgot to tell you that they have Shaq as their starting center. Enough said.
Final Grade: A
Indiana Pacers
They need to make a move if they want to compete with Chicago, Detroit and Toronto. KG is playing poorly however Hill and Finley are picking up the scraps. Duncan is in MVP form yet again however the Pacers aren’t in the Easts top 4. This team should look to deal Garnett for a capable point guard because Hudson is not good.
Final Grade: B+
Milwaukee Bucks
I love this Bucks team. Nelson/Melo/Diogu/Bosh/Biedrins is a sick young core. Melo is playing out of his mind and Chris Bosh’s improvement is coming at a steady pace. They have 2 of their 3 picks over the next 3 years along with a few others. This makes the future pretty nice in Milwaukee.
Final Grade: B+
Toronto Raptors
This team are getting nothing on the offensive end from anyone not named Dwyane or Gilbert. They recently picked up Hinrich for good measure yet I’d like to see them deal him for a more offensivley minded big. They are really struggling in the East this season and I wouldn’t be surprised to see the defending champs lose in the first round to an Indiana, a Detroit or potentially, an Atlanta.
