so following WAS's example is what we should have done...so in essence, let's SUCK for the next several years & maybe 1 day we'll have a team full of young players that are atop the weakest conference in recent memory who have no guarantees of winning a title anytime soon...good idea...wish i had thought of it.

Phoenix in the WEST and Washington in the EAST.



Washington has young players that will play for 48 minutes 94 ft and will pressure you into turnovers. They have 3 biggs HAYWOOD, E.THOMAS and K.BROWN + HUGHES and ARENAS has to be the best back court in the NBA.
Antwan Jamison is just a unorthdox scorer that usually keeps oppossing team off balance. Washington bench is good with J.Hayes, J.Dixon and defense rebounder Ruffin.


Phoenix has suprised the NBA with "GREAT GM MOVES" acquring Q.Richardson and Nash from free agency, also Amare puts fear in any big man(including duncan) in the wester conf. J.Johnson has improved his play making abilites when Marbury was dealt to the knicks and now feels comfortable handling the ball.

Suns avg 110 pts per gm and shoot 48% as a team also the avg almost 6 blks a game and 7 steals.


S.Marion is the X factor, he is Mr everything for the Suns, 3pt shooting, Reb and defends+ he runs the floor like a gazelle on both ends. On the bench they bring in a young shot blocker Hunter who understands his role and fits in perfect when their defense funnels oppossing players his way and he blocks shots.


Zeke really needs to stop the bleeding and do what ever he can to give us an identity, right now all we have become under Wilkens is a "more talented" Don Chaney bunch.

it's no coincidence that washington is doing well and ernie grunfeld is their GM. ernia is GOOD. he had vision here but lost a power struggle with van gundy. dare i say, that if ernie won, we would've definitely been a better team for it. trading oakly for camby is a balls trade. and moving mason for lj was sort of ballsy also. only knock on him as a knicks GM was not using the draft wisely. but then he watches him team go to the finals in '99 two months after he was fired.

then he moves onto milwaukee and guides them to ECF.





and now he's in milwaukee after the whole jordan mess and put together a nice little squad.

he's one of the better GM's in the league.
