They don't need a new owner (a new GM maybe). They just need new players around KG. .. But since they're over the cap they can't sign any free-agent players (unless it's a sign and trade). \n\nAnd their roster outside of KG isn't that great (there's talent, marginally though). So they could look into player trades and the draft to get better. \n\nThey need a PG (who's a floor leader) in the worst way when I watch them, and I’m not sold on their coach. They're just doomed to be stuck in mediocrity with what they have now.

I dont, he will stay right there in Minnesota and they're not gonna be that bad this season.  Garnett got alot more help than hes had in the past

Sprewell does not play anymore because he asked for too much much money during free agency period. He can still sign to another team but right now no one wants him. They are probally scared of getting choked.

No, they are a 500 club right now and they dont look like they are willing to make the changes to be better.  That puts them roughly in the 8-9 spot in the west. Also, they probably will have a big injury in the next few months.  Maybe Kobe, Mabye Lamar.  A loss of either one of those guys for a few games would pretty much close out any playoff chances.

Not a good trade. Uggla is not proven like Figgins is. Try for Utley if you need 2B.

The lakers need some key free agent signings, Wallace wont be an option cause lakers dont have enough cap, and he is most likely to res-sigh(they guy saying he wont is talking out of his ass), they had a different GM back in the day, so times change the Wallace is Key in there defense. Pistons will give him a max, and Toronto seems to be 2nd in the running. Lakers need bench players, thats wat killed them in the phoenix series. If they can get some strong role player to go alsong side kobe and odom ,watch out for the lakers in 07!!!

You would have to talk to the current owners and see if they would be willing to sell.  The Lakers are worth 529M, so you might be able to buy it for 800M-1B because the owner might not want to sell the team at all.

I doubt anyone you've listed will play somewhere else next year.  Nowitzki is way to valuable to Dallas for them to let him go and I don't think Gordon or Paul are going to bring as much value as they can a couple years from now.  I think Artest is likely out in Sacremento, keeping him around longer than a season is probably a mistake.  And of course, pick any Knick, there's a good chance four or five of them could be traded.

They need a big man that can deliver...They should retain Gordon, Hinrich, and Nocioni....They should get some kind of Kevin Garnett or Kenyon Martin. They can trade Chandler if they want or Sweetney who are not really dominant in the paint even if they have the size. They should also give some three pointers to their team. They can improve Jannero Pargo or get some other players by trading or this coming draft.

Da Franchise used to be my favorite balla. He erupted into the limelight when he went to Maryland after San Jacinto College. Continued his superstar ascendance with the Rockets and then got traded to my team the Magic. But thats when it all went into a freefall, right now he looks like he lost all his passion and he isnt playing like he used to. I wanted him to get back on top but he isnt going to be on top again with his growing ego and attitude. Its a shame and a waste of talent. Francis is a wash now.\n\nedit: Hey Michellee, dont worry about the magic. They are not suffering. Trading away francis was the best thing to ever happen to them. They made the best trades of any team this past midseason when they dumped francis' bloated contract for trevor ariza, and topped that off by trading kelvin cato's 8 mil per season for darko milicic and carlos arroyo, which is already arguably the worst trade in nba history for the pistons. Grant Hills 15 mil is also about to come off the books after this season so that magic will have the most cap room of any team in the summer of 07 (20-30 mil). Theyve already resigned jameer nelson who has been a better starter at PG than francis, and they resigned Dwight Howard, Tony Battie, and working on extending Darko. They also have the eleventh pick in the upcoming NBA draft. Heres the crazy reality of it all. \n\nyou have a young talented team with in my opinion the best PG depth in Nelson, Arroyo and Dooling.\n\nShooting guard is the weakest position with deshawn stevenson, but he still isnt that bad. He has good defense and at times he provides offense. The magic will probably use their top pick for a SG and im praying for Brandon Roy, who is an assasin, deadly shooter in the mole of Gilbert Arenas.\n\nHedu Turkaglu is still an underrated player. When he starts he is a machine, plain and simple. He was their leading scorer for the last several months of the season. Trevor Ariza is capable of becoming a good bench player because he is very energetic. He has a knack for rebounding and he could develop into a Tayshaun Prince type of player. Hence, you have to like how they look at small forward for next season. However, you have to take into consideration all that money the magic have to spend after next year, when the likes of carmelo anthony and vince carter are free agents. There is one other player that could be a free agent if cleveland does not give him an extension, and yes that player is lebron james. I've heard rumors that the Magic are set themselves up to sign him so if he is not on the cavaliers in 2008, he will be a magic.\n\nDwight Howard at PF. Enough Said.\n\nDarko Milicic at C, forming the 7 foot 20 yr old twin towers is deadly. They compliment each other formidably. \n\nThis team has the best future and chance to be the greatest team ever, if king james does become a magic, can you say dynasty? yes.

Holy crap! You actually got somebody to take James off your hands and give you worthwhile players in return??\nI want the recipe for THAT kool-aid!\n\nHit the accept trade button, before they regain consiousness!

If the penguins leave Pittsburgh no team will replace them, at least in this city.  They don't need and I hope they don't get a new arena, they are a losing team and Mario needs to cut his loses and realize that a new arena is not going to increase attendence or make the team prophitable in this town.  I don't know much else about the subject ;)  Just think they should leave and we should pick up an NBA team instead.

The Knicks are in trouble. They have the highest payroll by a lot and the second worst record last season.  They have a lot of individual talent:  Eddy Curry, Channing Frye, and Jerome James at center...David Lee, Mo Taylor and Malik Rose at power forward...Quentin Richardson, Jalen Rose at small forward...Stephon Marbury, Steve Francis and Nate Robinson at point...Jamal Crawford at the two spot.\n\nThe problem, however, is that they have a lot of guys who do the same thing.  They have no inside toughness - Curry is huge, but averages only 6 rbpg and is completely soft, Frye's soft and prefers shooting jumpers to banging in the post, Mo Taylor couldn't grab a board if it hit him in the face, and Malik Rose, though tough, is greatly undersized.  On top of that, the team has no floor general to run the point.  Marbury and Francis are both shooting guards trapped in point guards bodies and Nate Robinson is athletic and a highlight reel, but certainly can't run a team.  Furthermore, they don't really have a spot shooter to help spread the court when slashers and penetrators like Marbury and Francis are doing what they do best.  Jalen Rose and Crawford are OK when they're on, but both are streaky. QRich can be a shooter, but he hasn't fit well wth that team. \n\nIsiah Thomas should do better than Larry Brown in the short term if for no other reason than he'll get more response from the players.  However, in the long term, Brown would've been better. Isiah doesn't impress me as a coach or GM and as long as he's calling the shots they're in trouble.  Moreover, James Dolan is an idiot.

That would be great if they could get draft picks or a good, YOUNG, player. But the Knicks will even screw this up getting some old , expensive loser to join the ones currently on the KNicks bench.

the Clippers are a pretty good team, they made it pretty big in the playoffs this season, and maybe they do have a chance..with Elton Brand and Sam Cassell there.. they could really go a long way, especially with Cassell's good leadership..only flaw: he kinda talks too much sometimes and he's too relaxed when bringing the ball: he even got called for an 8-second violation once! but nonetheless, the Clippers are a great team, and I think they would deserve to win this if and when it happens.

the answer is no. they are young and rebuilding. the problem is the same one that the clippers ran into for so many years; if they develop a high draft pick into a decent player, he leaves after his contract is up. examples jermaine o'neal (POR to IND) and Brent Barry (LAC to SEA) Latrell Sprewell (GS to NY) Shaq (ORL to LAL).

Kings get the better end in their deal. Peja is currently performing at his worst in the scoring department since 2000. Ron Artest is one of the best defensive players out there.\n\nThe T'Wolves will probably regret this trade. Wally is the glue that keeps Minny together. Although injuries have plagued him recently, he still has plenty of talent to offer. Ricky Davis will help KG down low, but the loss of Wally really damages the perimeter shooting game.
