Kevin Garnett: “Okafor is having a great year. He’s strong, a very good rebounder and active around the basket. He’s playing like an animal right now.” Dirk Nowitzki: “He is playing phenomenal and he comes to play every night. He is going to be a dominant player is this league.”
According to this, one just needs to make this team:
Korver
Prince
Collins
Watson
Mohammed
And you could run rough shod over the league.
Surely this can be done. The Pistons shoud trade Ben Wallace for Collins. Hamilton for Mohammed. Delfino for Korver. Billups for Watson. And Darko for Mohammed. Then they'd win the championship for sure.
No surprise Walker has a brutal +/-....he's a terrible player.

Danny Fortson in reference to the anonymous Sonic who tattle taled to the Seattle-Times...
"I think somebody on this team might have girlish characteristics that need to be turned into a man. Because if we're going to win, we need warriors. We don't need girls. Girls are for the dance team."
Fortson also said "he wouldn't doubt it" if there were a gay player in the NBA but hopes he's not a Sonic.
"That would be a bad deal," Fortson said. "He might want to keep that one in the closet."
