Fact or Fiction: Acquiring Gary Payton was a good move by Danny Ainge.

Fact Or Fiction: If the Yao/McGrady partnership doesn't work, Yao will be the first to demand a trade

Fact or Fiction: Acquiring Gary Payton was a good move by Danny Ainge.

Just Payton? Or the entire package? Entire Package - Fact. Cap space, another 1st rounder for Ainge who loves to horde them. Payton in the post will be good for PP off the curls.

Fact or Fiction: Eddy Curry will be in a Bulls uni by the end of the season.

Edit...

Fact or Fiction: Acquiring Gary Payton was a good move by Danny Ainge.

Fact. With Payton not playing in the Triangle Offense and not having Kobe take all the shots, Payton will be much better than last year and be closer to how he was with Seattle.

Fact or Fiction: Eric Dampier will sign with the Knicks.

LOL.

Fact or Fiction: Eric Dampier will sign with the Knicks.

Fiction. If anything, he'll sign with the W's then get traded to the Knicks.

Fact or Fiction: Eddy Curry will be in a Bulls uni by the end of the season.

Fact or Fiction: Eddy Curry will be in a Bulls uni by the end of the season.

Fact. No team is willing to take chances on Eddy Curry, I believe. He's too much of a liability at the offensive and defensive end.

[Fact or Fiction] Chris Webber is going to be healthy and one of the top 5 PFs in the NBA.

Fact or Fiction: Eddy Curry will be in a Bulls uni by the end of the season.

Fact. I don't see them trading him unless they got another center back. Tyson Chandler is too thin to play center. Especially with Shaq back in the conference.

Fact of Fiction: Spurs are the team to beat.

[Fact or Fiction] Chris Webber is going to be healthy and one of the top 5 PFs in the NBA.

Fiction. Call me a hater or stupid, but even healthy, he's not top 5.

Fact or Fiction: Jonathan Bender will finally explode with more playing time.

Alright I'm chilling on the F5 key for tonight. . It's gotten too confusing.

[Fact or Fiction] Chris Webber is going to be healthy and one of the top 5 PFs in the NBA.

Fiction. I believe because of that dreadful injury and his age his best days are behind him.

Fact or Fiction: No Portland TrailBlazers will get arrested next season.

Fact of Fiction: Spurs are the team to beat.

Fiction. Pistons are still the team to beat. They are the defending champions and not many teams have been able to do well offensively against them.

Fact or Fiction: Jonathan Bender will finally explode with more playing time.

Fact. Why wouldn't Rick Carlisle play a 7 foot SMALL FORWARD?

Fact or Fiction: No Portland TrailBlazers will get arrested next season.

Fiction. They're still the same old Portland Jailblazers. I expect several of them to be arrested on marijuana charges.

[Fact or Fiction] Mickael Pietrus is a star in the making.

[Fact or Fiction] Mickael Pietrus is a star in the making.

Fact. People always talk about his athleticism but he also has an extraordinarily high basketball IQ. He just needs to be a bit more coachable.......

Fact or Fiction. Shaquille O'Neal will make good on his promise for a championship in Miami.

Fiction. Even considering the revenge factor, the lack of good big men in the East and Shaq's ability to carry a team, the Heat don't quite have all the pieces.

Fact or Fiction: Vince Carter will return to the form he showed in 2001

Fact or Fiction. Shaquille O'Neal will make good on his promise for a championship in Miami.

FICTION. FICTION. FICTION. Who's going to support Shaq, Dwyane Wade and Eddie Jones? I see them making the playoffs but definently not a championship or eastern finals contender.

[b][Fact or Fiction] Mike Montgomery will coach a decent year for the Warriors.

Fact or Fiction: Vince Carter will return to the form he showed in 2001

Fiction: I just don't think Vince has that competitive drive to match his amazing talent. Sad, really..........

Fact or Fiction. Kenyon Martin will be an All-Star in the West.

Fact or Fiction.

Fact. He has all the tools to make it happen.

Fact or Fiction: Kenyon Martin wil be an All-Star in the West.

Fact or Fiction: Chris Webber will play more than half the season and make an All-Star team

Fact or Fiction: Chris Webber will play more than half the season and make an All-Star team

Fiction. Even in the South East Division in the Eastern Conference, the Bobcats won't win 30+ games in their inaugural season.

(I'm afraid I can't think of one at the moment - someone else can post one. )

Fact or Fiction: Peja will be traded to Nuggets before trade deadline.

fiction, nuggets already got a good squad. A couple more pieces and they there. Too many cooks will spoil the food, go ask the blazers of the late 1990s about that.

fact or fiction-knicks will win their division this season

fact or fiction-knicks will win their division this season

Fact. I think right now they are the most talented team in their division, we'll see if Isaiah's vision comes to fruition.

Fact or Fiction: Darius Miles will have a breakout year and fulfill all promise he had since being drafted by the Clippers.

Fact or Fiction: Darius Miles will have a breakout year and fulfill all promise he had since being drafted by the Clippers.

Fiction. Darius can't shoot and all he is is an athlete. I don't see him improving much at all from last year to this year. But he did do good in Portland after the trade.

Fact or Fiction: Dampier will go to Indiana for one year.

^^^Fact. At this point I don't see any other players for his services. Atl can't be taken seriously (although a Walker, Harrington, Dampier trio sounds ok but we thought that about Terry-Robinson-Abdur-Rahim and atliff)

Fact or Fiction
A Billups-Hamilton duo is the best backcourt in the East ( I had to do it )
