Q: On the flip side, which teams are being overrated?

A: At a time of the year when optimism flows like jump shots from Ricky Davis' right hand, it's hard to say anyone is being out-and-out overrated.

But expectations might have raised perhaps a little too high in Golden State and Denver, while Washington won't have an easy time getting back to the second round. New York Knicks fans truly believe Larry Brown can get them the eighth seed, but it'll be a long climb out of a deep hole if New York's start is as bad as Brown expects.

and

Q: What about trades? Any big names going to change teams?

A: Right now, all eyes are on Paul Pierce of the Celtics as Boston transitions to a youth movement, but Danny Ainge is having a hard time finding a decent offer as opposing GMs try to pull off the type of steal Rod Thorn made for New Jersey last year when he acquired Vince Carter.

If things start extra slowly in New York, don't be shocked if Larry Brown convinces Isiah Thomas to get rid of Marbury. There's deeper animosity between the two than either would have the public believe.

Things also aren't going so swimmingly in Portland between Zach Randolph and new coach Nate McMillan. The Trail Blazers also would be willing to move Ruben Patterson to free up time for Travis Outlaw, and Theo Ratliff is being paid too much ($11.7 over this season and the next two) to be a backup center. Someone in need of size will be willing to take a chance.

Denver would deal Nene Hilario if it got a big man and a shooting guard in return, but that'll be hard to pull off with Nene making only $3.04 million.

The 1st part isnt too bad, but how do they knwo marbury has such a deep distate for LB...did marbury tell him?

I hope the knicks prove all the haters wrong

Wouldn't surprise me...in fact I think it's the only way to normalize the rotation AND the cap...

We the public, so we don't believe yet.

Time will tell.

It ain't like Marbs is getting frustrated cuz he so used to winning!

It will be ok!

Nobody gonna take his contract anyway, so he ain't gong no where but to the bench if he don't mesh. He will.

You have to be kidding me,who are you to tell me how to type, typing the way i do has nothing with being gangsta, its the internet buddy its not that serious..someone looks like they got their panties in a bunch
