detroit will be the best in the east next year looks like the bad boys are back

Carmelo Anthony or LeBron James...


Anthony because he has more experience. He playing against better and taller people. James is just agains young 5'10" guys. I'd pick Anthony.

Can you beleive Detroit gets the number two pick? Talk about lucky. Cleveland is almost sure to draft LeBron so Detroit with the best record in the East this year gets Carmelo Anthony. Motor City is celebrating tonight.

It's the dfaft.
What is up.

I would hate to be a New Jersey fan, because Detroit just got what they have lacked all year: A scorer, and a good one at that. Im starting to rething my Texas championship run ideas, because it is hard for me to see Detroit not winning a couple in years to come.

As for the Cavs, theyll take about 3-4 years to make post-season (It really all depends on how fast LeBron develops).

I was praying Memphis did not get James, because that would make the West nervous (Starters: Pau Gasol, Jason Williams, LeBron James, Lorenzen Wright, and Mike Miller. That would be a nice lineup).

But my God, look at Detroit with Carmelo (Chauncey Billups, Rip Hamilton, Carmelo Anthony, Ben Wallace, Tayshaun Prince/Corliss Williamson). Shit! I seriously see Detroit winning 65 games next year (Along with Dallas and San Antonio).

Milicec got screwed, because he will go nowhere with Denver. He is a great talent, but Denver is a terrible basketball team, and he will suffer their (Id look for him to get traded withing 4-5 years).



As for who is better, Lebron of Anthony? Answer is simply. LeBron. He is more athletic, is MUCH quicker and extremely explosive, and has a more physically intimidating and NBA-type body then Anthony (Anthony looks like a young Glen Robinson or Antione Walker body-wise). LeBron played against high schoolers, but it is obvious he is extremely talented and the top pick and top player in the draft this year (Even though Carmelo WILL get the better deal in the short term due to a POWERFUL Piston team next year).

Im truly scared for the West, their dominance may be over.

I thought Detroit made it pretty evident that they're gonna go w/ Darko...
Although the logical thing would be to choose Carmelo. He's buds w/ Hamilton, right?

But man, THAT is the best long-term planning I have ever seen. The Pistons, the best in the East, have the #2 pick for next season. Too bad that's the only good thing for them now.

Yeah I have to say I'm happy for Detroit. The east coast needs at least one power team and this looks like it could be their shot. Although, to be selfish for just a moment, seeing Lebron and Carmelo going East does make me a little disappointed because I'll hardly ever get to see them play.

Coaster Ed, get NBATV!
