MORE offseason thoughts and predictions {IND, LAC, LAL, MEM}


Here are more of my offseason thoughts and predictions for this summer. For the Indiana Pacers, L.A. Clippers, L.A. Lakers, and the Memphis Grizzlies.


Indiana Pacers

The Pacers should draft a point guard this summer, like UCLA guard Russell Westbrook or which ever point guard is the best that is left. Jamaal Tinsley is suspended all the time, Travis Diener is just not fit for that starting spot, and they don't really have any other true point guards.

They also should start rebuilding their team by trading Jermaine O'Neal, who should play on a much better team, such as the Sixers, or a team that can afford to bring him in. He's too good to not win a championship {like Karl Malone}.

Grad! e: B-


Los Angeles Clippers

The Clippers will be better this year, because they get Elton Brand back, plus a lottery draft pick. And they could bring in some pretty good role free agent players if Corey Maggette opts out of his contract.

Center Chris Kaman looks to have success in the years to come, finally finding his dominant center side. And they might get Shaun Livingston back, who has been injured forever. It looks like the Clippers will be a pretty good team in the future.

Grade: B- {For now}


Los Angeles Lakers

The Lakers are in the NBA Finals, which proves that they are a great team. I don't think they should make any roster changes except getting rid of Luke Walton, who bugs the crap out of me. If he was like his dad {Bill Walton}, then I would love him to stay. But right now I want to give him up.

Grade: A


Memphis Grizzlies

I already said in my Juan Carlos Navarro post that the Grizzlies need a center to replace Pau Gasol. Like Kevin Love or Brook Lopez. 'Nuff said.


Grade: C


Sorry that my Lakers-Grizzlies ones were so short, I just felt it was enough to cover them. Plus, I have talked about them alot on my blog. Especially because of the Pau Gasol trade to the Lakers.
