So...

Paul Pierce.

Ray Allen.

Kevin freakin' Garnett.

Can this team get to the NBA Finals. Thoughts.

Depends how well they play together. Its just far to early. Is there enough shots for all 3 players? Its a i dont know at all right now.

Also, none of them 3 are past their prime, They are all in there still. I bet its a good problems to have though.

Time will tell.

I'm just hoping Shaq can stay healthy and that D-Wade can come back at full strength. I can't remember the last time the two have played together when healthy.

I think our chances just rose 50%

I'm not buying it. Who else on that team can hit a 4-pointer?

But seriously, Riley raped McHale with that trade. But what else is new.

How McHale and Matt Millen stay employed makes up one of the world's greatest mysteries.

Even when they are healthy, they are still the Bull's bitches. Even if Shaq is "healthy", he is older, slower and not near what he was 10 years ago.

Since when? Neither were healthy last year. In 2006 Shaq wasn't healthy and they still beat the Bulls 4-2 en route to an NBA Championship.

Yes, Shaq is older. He's also in much better shape now than in a while. If healthy there still isn't a player who can defend him. Ben Wallace sure as hell can't.

In the east they have a shot. Personally I think if Shaq and Wade are healthy then Miami will win it. LeBron will carry Cleveland and Detroit will be in the hunt. Also the Bulls as well.

I'm a little concerned about our depth.

You should be. Those 3 can't do it by themselves, and their bench is not impressive at this point. With the Sonics moving to OK City I've officially abandoned them and am looking for a new team. It'll probably be Portland in the long run, hell they have a bunch of Seattle ties. Short term though, I'm pulling for the Celts this year. Ray Allen was nothing but a class act here in Seattle, and while KG doesn't tip the pizza driver, I still love his game. Go Celts!!!!!

Had Reggie Miller decided to come back, I would've rooted for them for a long time to come. He was always one of my favorites. Watching him jack his jaw with Spike Lee in the playoffs was some cool shit when I was a teenager.

**DaKCMan AP** · 10-24-2007, 08:10 PM

Shit. Looking at the 'Toine-Davis trade I didn't realize we gave up Simien. I'm pretty disappointed he never was able to contribute or develop. Always sick/injured/stuck behind vets.

Seriously they got rid of 'Toine and got someone that isn't terrible in return. How picky about giving up an end of the bench, with possible upside guy are you going to be?
