I'll be happy if most of those predictions come to fruition TC!

I'm hoping Thabeet won't be a bust but I doubt he is going to be very successful in his rookie season. It would be nice to have the second coming of Mt Mutombo!

I actually think the Clippers would be my 'smokey'. If they can't be successful with the roster they have this year then they truly are cursed. If they play well as expect, I think Dunleavy will keep his job. Camby is definitely a candidate to be moved by the deadline though, especially if Kaman stays healthy and DeAndre Jordan continues to develop.

It'd be interesting to know if Houston has already inquired about Camby too. If they expect Yao back next season, a one year rental of Camby could be pretty good for them.

BTW, are you and TC2 different people?

It wouldn't surprise me to see Elton Brand going traded very very soon. Speights has been playing the lights out, and hit fits that 76ers team much better than Brand.

Biggest question is who will want to take on Brand's contract??? (Charlotte.... raise your hand please)...
