I mean is there such a thing as a perfect player?

At least not toward the Kings. He really hammers some of the other teams on that list though. I think he gives the Kings the most favorable assessment of the group. The Knicks, on the other hand, he just trashes.

It takes lots of skill to predict that the worst team in the NBA last year is going to be one of the worst teams in the NBA this year.

An entertaining team that hustles, even while earning a lot of ping-pong balls.

I’d rather see a shitload of turnovers on fast breaks than see a lot of so-called" “good possessions” that end with a clanged 2-point shot from 21 feet.

You really outdid yourself on thinking this time Uncle Charlie. Don’t let the ass hit your door on the way out. Wouldn’t want it to splinter again.

This team sucks. There’s some promising young players and certianly a reason to be optimistic about the future, but for awhile they’re going to struggle.

That writer looks like the lovechild of Carmichael Dave and George Carlin.

As long as they show consistent improvement, then I won’t mind if the Kings are one of the worst teams in the NBA.

I just don’t want last year’s disaster.

New Jersey: The argument is based on Lopez needing to become a good player and Courtney Lee being shocked by a trade? Lopez was already good last season, and Lee played pretty darn well in the playoffs. I’d be amazing if NJ was the worst this season.

Milwaukee: Redd is a “shoot-em-up” scorer? Apparently that’s his translation of an excellent shooter and All-Star. I’ve never been a big Bogut fan, but this glosses over the positive attributes he does have. To write him off as unathletic and nothing more is just lazy journalism.

Sacramento: Honestly, this is probably his most fair analysis, but he still relies on gross generalizations.

Honestly, I’m not even going to breakdown his so-called breakdowns of the remaining teams. It’s a waste of time. This was a story about meeting a word count and taking a dump on easy targets without any real effort.

Oh wait and flawed management. And flawed pocketbooks.

is what happens when they all are under-10 draft picks, other than Evans.

I agree with Exhibit G, this “analysis” looks like something thrown together while sitting on the toilet playing with your iPhone’s notepad.

he’s predicting the worst team in the league last year will be one of the 7 worst this year? Wow … that’s going out on a limb, isn’t it?

I predict the Lakers will be in the top 10 teams this year. Aren’t I smart?

and I’ll be happy. Steady improvement year after year . . . but I wonder if that will be enough to start filling some of the empty seats at Arco? I doubt it.

getting paid to state the obvious in a way that makes it sound like a revelation? Easy!

I haven’t looked this up (I’m using my mobile), but how many of these teams were actually in the bottom 7 at season end?

Never overestimate Mike Dunleavy Snr.

call Noc the best player on the team? Really?

And he doesn’t take into account the fact that our two young “turnover prone” bigs were a rookie and a 2nd year player.

Lazy analysis at best.

Old, cranky, and loses more than he wins.

Inexperienced, Yes. Big difference long term.

“Kevin Martin can score points by the dozen, but rarely passes and his version of playing defense is to outscore his opponent.”

Ouch. But pretty much on target, both pre- and post-injury.

…have a full complement of ‘flawed’ players? There’s no such thing as a perfect player, even LeBron James has weaknesses and flaws in his game.

If we could be sure about PG
uh – and SF
and our young’ins at the 4 and 5 . . . .

we dooo have lots and lots of SFs!

OK, never mind. :) Next season is a mystery to me – but we’ll be there in 114 to see what happens!
