I think bringing back threads is ridiculous in genrela. I did not like it when they brought back the Magic prediction post either.

At least you're consistent then. I'll give you credit for that. I personally don't mind if any--or even all--of my threads are brought back. I don't back down from what I've said just because the wind is blowing in a different direction. But that's just me.

I will be the first to answer Briggs question. If we went 7-22 with Houston healthy and I was GM I wouldn't panic. Playoffs would still be a possibility in the East depending on how well they do from there on. I would give Sweetney & Ariza 20mins consistantly. I would try to move Muhammad for Mourning. Then try to move KT & 2nd rd pick for say Brian Skinner or Corlis Williamson & Dalembert.

Mourning/Dalembert/Baker
Sweetney/Williams/Skinner
Thomas/Ariza/Hardaway
Houston/Crawford/Hardaway
Marbury/Crawford/Hardaway

Finish the season if we miss playoffs add a nice lottery pick. Or trade TT or Hardaway's ending deal and our lottery pick for a stud depending on the strength of the draft. Then pursuade Phil Jackson to coach the team in 2006.

Like the man said, who cares?
