Phoenix beat me to Devin. [censored]'em Bucky.

I'll third Devin Harris. Guy is nasty and with Avery's help could develop into a great PG.

If they keep Gordon on the bench next year I'll eat my hat. Last year was the introduction, next year is going to be his coming out party. He will become an elite player next year, whereas he was more of a second or third tier star this year.

I agree. I don't know for sure but I think that Chandler and Curry are both FA's (don't recall if it's restricted or unrestricted) this summer? Or is it next? Also, what's the deal with Curry's health? If they can get both back, I am certain they'll win the East.

I actually traded Caron Butler for Ben Gordon midway through the year last year. Ridnour is a great call, I think he'll keep getting better.

[Clarkmeister]

I'll keep my eye on Ebi. He could be a good roster-filler-outer for the league minimum. Nice tip, thanks.

Reggie gets rebounds, but almost nothing else and he kills your FT%.

Yeah, my centers stink. I'm trying to find a way to justify moving Chandler to Center but it'll be hard if they bring back Curry.

[Clarkmeister]

A guy from Wisconsin traded for Devin Harris late last year (he way way overpaid - gave up the 3rd pick in this years draft for him). No way can I get him.

Biiiig stretch. The Pacers are winning the East next year, guaranteed. If Pat Riley takes some kind of coaching role in Miami, the Heat become the second strongest team in the league. If the Pistons keep Larry Brown, they'll win as many games as they want to, again. Who knows what Lebron is going to do in his third year? And lets not forget about the New Jersey RJ/VC/JK experiment, which could make a lot of noise. Unlike this year, the East is looking to be stacked up top next year. Chicago is going to have to overachieve just to take third. I still like them for 50+ wins though, if they retain both big men.

Sorry for the thread tangent Clark.

The danger with ridnour is he's on a team with all free agents. I dunno what your league schedule is like, but try to watch how the sonics shape up.

When you have great shooters like rayray and rashard and flip murray, it's easy to drive and dish. it's also easy to post guys up, because you can't double down. I guess i'm saying i like ridnour, but he was in the PERFECT situation for him last year. next year may be much different.

Clark,

Sleepers:
-Nenad Krstic, C
-Mike Sweetney, F
-Trevor Ariza, F
-Rasual Butler, F
-Shaun Livingston, G (when healthy)
-TJ Ford, G (when healthy)
-Juan Dixon, G
-Nazr Mohammed, C (I think he may have just turned 28 but isn't old)
-Ronald Murray, G (if Ray Allen doesn't resign with Seattle)
-Joel Pryzbilla, C
-Sebastian Telfair, G
-Jamaal Tinsley, G (this guy is so far under everyones radar)

Solid Draft Contributors:
-Chris Paul
-Danny Granger

I know this is off topic clark, but do you have any word on Curry's heart thing, I'm in a similar('keeper') league and have him on my team....

[LBJ]

I'd say some sleepers are Nenad Krystc, Juan Dixon (when/if Larry Hughes leaves), and Raymond Felton (if he starts in the NBA fairly early in his rookie year).

Watch out for Anderson Varejao (Brazillian forward from the Cavs) in 1 or 2 years, he's gonna be sick.
