Paxson will supposedly offer an insane contract to Ben Wallace at midnight tonight, with rumors of Wallace having bought a house in Chicago.

I like the trade for the Raptors side. Ford is extremely quick and is unselfish. He should really help Bosh out a lot. Almost Nash and Stoudemire like.

Cassell - Destination unknown, but not the Clippers
Radmonovic - Lakers
Peja - Hornets
Tim Thomas - Clippers

Those all shocked me greatly, save Radmonovic. Wow. More than anything, this is evidence the Mavs or Spurs, both looking for veteran point guards, have made calls to Cassell. And the Tim Thomas thing...I have absolutely no idea.

None of this is confirmed until July 12, btw, when contract signing officially begins.

[Saint Baller]

1. Mavericks. They broke through with a young team and will be better next year.
2. Suns. Add the best young big man to a Western Conference finalist and you could have a title team.
3. Heat. Shaq is easing into old age but likely will have another productive year or two.
4. Pistons. Flip Saunders has a summer to figure out a puzzling playoff meltdown.
5. Spurs. The Duncan-Ginobili-Parker trio endures.
6. Clippers. One-hit wonder? We'll know when we see what happens with Sam Cassell.
7. Cavaliers. The next step: determining whether Larry Hughes is the ideal running mate for LeBron.
8. Nuggets. Trading Kenyon Martin is an option, but this team needs shooters (still).
9. Nets. Upgrades are needed in the frontcourt and on the bench.
10. Kings. Fiery Eric Musselman and feisty Ron Artest together? This should be good.
11. Grizzlies. The three-year playoff streak is alive. So is the 12-game playoff losing streak.
12. Pacers. They need a healthy, incident-free season.
13. Jazz. If their young frontcourt stays on the floor, they'll make the playoffs.
14. Rockets. Jeff Van Gundy's less than impressive tenure could be nearing an end.
15. Wizards. Until they play defense, they won't challenge the Heat.
16. Bulls. A strong finish, the No. 2 pick and plenty of cap space can't hurt.
17. Lakers. They changed their style in the playoffs, when Kobe shared the ball. Now what?
18. Hornets. Chris Paul's greatest achievement: giving a battered franchise hope.
19. Timberwolves. No franchise has done more to let its superstar down.
20. Magic. Dwight Howard is the East's best young big man. Darko? We'll see.
21. Warriors. Stop us if you've heard this -- lots of good players, lots of potential, this could be their year ...
22. Bucks. It's time to let Andrew Bogut step up and shine.
23. SuperSonics. Whatever personnel changes are made, they must figure out how to defend.
24. Celtics. Ainge's five-year plan heads into Year 4. A championship can't be far away. Right?
25. Raptors. The rebuilding has begun, but how long will it take?
26. Knicks. Talent? There's some. Issues? So many. Why does Isiah still have a job?
27. 76ers. This franchise remains stuck in reverse.
28. Hawks. A quality point guard would bring quick improvement.
29. Bobcats. One more year and they'll be able to spend some free-agent loot.
30. Trail Blazers. What once was a playoff team with bad characters now is just a bad team with bad characters.

Projected for next year

Glad Mavs getting some damn respect

Not the perfect list. Nuggets better than Nets, Kings, and Grizz. Come on now. And i think the rockets are way too low and why are the knicks ahead of the sixers? Things are far worse in NY.

[The Future7]

Yes! The Bulls get Ben Wallace. Damn I'm happy

[Tersk]

Really, link me..

[The Future7]

you never know this could be a way to lure more money from Detroit

So am i, i think the Bulls have a good chance winning the east next year. But Ben Wallace and Tyson Chandler in the same team playing Center and PF, good defense but where is the offense?

[Seed]

yea I mean what happens when they go up against a good perimeter defensive team like us

Look at it this way:
PG - Harris
SG - Griffin/Buckner(if we get him in exchange of griffin highly doubt it though)
SF - Howard

That team will be weak once they go up against teams with great perimeter defense

also Miami might be able to still beat them

PG - Payton/Anderson
SG - Wade
SF - Posey
and Wallace couldn't even slow down shaq
