NBA: Get better by any means neccessary

Unless you been under a rock or totally ignoring sport right now you should have noticed teams trying to position themselves for a title run in 2009-2010 season. While the Lakers seem to be having an issue bringing back Trevor Ariza, Cleveland seems to be a frontrunner to get the defensively/athletically gifted swing man. Speaking of the Cavs they have already beefed up the front court with the additon of Shaq and Ariza may seem like that would make them the overwhelming favorite with LeBron, Mo Williams, Ariza, Shaq, as possible starters. The Spurs proved why there the Spurs by getting a good player in Richard Jefferson and quality in the draft with DeJuan Blair in the second round. They will be a huge challenger to my Lakers. But after foolishly dangling Rajon Rondo in a trade and rescinding it Boston is looking to add Rasheed Wallace. Orlando figured they didn't want to pay Hedo Turkgulo what he felt he was worth so they brought in Vince Carter. I like the move because it can help develop Jameer Nelson as the play maker for the offense and the guy responsible for getting D.Howard the ball late in games. (Something the Magic didn't do the entire playoff run w/ Hedo dominating the ball in late situations) Also VC can create off the dribble unlike Courtney Lee and will benefit from being on a good squad so he will be motivated and he's coming to his home state. The Portland Trailblazers are in pursuit of Hedo but I feel they should sign veteran point guard Andre Miller. He can teach the athletically gifted and super talented Jared Bayless thow to run a team and operate in a half court set.( which if more point guards would learn instead of just running the floor in the transition game they would greatly benefit) Hedo is pretty much maxed out in my eyes. He can be a good fit in the right situation but I just seem him as not being able to produce the way we've seen him do the last two seasons. But as far as the Mavs they gotta make some decisions and if you're going to bring J.Kidd back get him a young heir apparent as a backup. JJ Barea is not that! I repeat JJ Barera is not that! I repeat, okay I'm sure you get the point. Detroit picked up scoring machine/clutch performer Ben Gordon and what I say can be a the next Rashard Lewis (when he's on) or the next Tim Thomas (when he's off) but Detroit ain't done and they better hire Avery Johnson as there coach if they wanna get back to being a upper echelon team in the East. I mean even thinking about Doug Collins is bad, he couldn't win with Jordan so who is Rip Hamilton for that matter. But moving along,financial times may be rough but &teams saving up for 2010 but its clear teams wanna get better by ANY MEANS NECCESSARY. The teams that haven't joined in may want to or get passed up! The NBA off season will provide for more excitement through the dead days of summer, an excess of baseball and the time before tranning camp. So stay tuned.
