Good Things

[chelle]

In lieu of all the negative feelings surrounding our team this off season (of which I have had many), I thought it might be a good idea to think on some good things about the team. It may just be the teacher in me, but some positive stuff may be good for morale. I'm not talking about manufactured compliments, but true good things on which to focus. This is not to pretend that there is not a long road ahead for improvement, but just a remindeder that we are not Hawks or the Hornets. So let's hear it. I'll start.

1. We will start the new season healthy (fingers crossed) because nobody needed surgery this summer.

2. We have experienced players.

3. We have some young guys who want to prove they belong in the NBA.

HELP ME OUT WITH SOME MORE GOOD THINGS!

4. We are no longer under a 3 year/$60 million contract.

5. We have tradeable pieces to aquire decent players.

6. We have one of the best, if not the best, GM's in the league.

If Detroit wins tonight, we will not be the last team to LOSE a game 7 at home.

Paycheck? Groupies? Boredom? Don't know, you tell me. I was merely stating the positives of this coming year.

Wonder who they're taking in the lottery? Oh well, knowing Jerry Buss, he'll pull something outta his *** and sign someone like LeBron or something like he always does with bringing in the big FA's to the beach.*L*

Well technically LeBron isn't a FA (but could, however, become a malcontent after last years disappointment, and depending on who comes to coach), but I hear ya, LaLa Land has always been appealing to the general NBA "player" public. But this time ONLY if they land Phil. As they are now, playing with the Kobme's can't look appealing to FA's who care about hardware.

Doh!!! Almost got off track there, sorry....

Another good thing: No worries about looking forward to the lottery.
