The East is currently home to 5 of the 6 worst teams in the league record-wise. With what could end up being a really strong draft class at the top, this could be the offseason where the EC starts to gain some ground on the West in terms of top to bottom depth.

Irving only playing half of the 4th quarter..just dont get why he isnt playing more minutes. The back up unit plays well, but Sessions doesnt do anything special.

Looks like we got the W..

Just thinking..what would you guys like our roster to look like next season?
I really like a lot of our bench players. I think we are 2 starters and a year of experience away from being a pretty legit team.

I would like it to be:

Irving/Sessions
?????/Gibson
?????/Gee/Casspi
Thompson/Samuels?
Varejao/Hollins

Need to upgrade the 2 and 3 and I think this team is pretty good.

He's been harassing Chandler all night long.

The Knicks are not good, they should be better

Kyire had an off shooting night but didn't force anything. 1/7 with 7 points, but had 7 assists amd only 2 TO's.

I'd like some variation of this for 2013:

Irving/Sessions or Gibson/Craft
Harden/Doron Lamb/Buford
Gilchrist/Gee
TT/Samuels
Andy/Erdin/Omer Asik

Is D'Antoni getting fired? This looks like another atrocious NY performance. Whose idea was it to build a team without guards?

Irving/???

Thompson/???
???/Varejao/???

I wouldn't hate keeping Sessions or Samuels (not as a backup for Samardo, but he could be the #5 guy in the post rotation, available in case of injury), but I think that they could both certainly be upgraded. Outside of the top 12, I don't really care about the 3 guys they keep as scrubs who won't ever see the court.

And I know there's no way 5 spots are going to be overturned in the 2-deep, but that's what I would like to see.

Free agents I'd look at:

PG: Hinrich/Dragic
SF: Batum (restricted)/CJ Miles
C: Hibbert (restricted)/Hawes

In the draft I'd take 1 wing, maybe 2 depending on what they think they can do in the FA period. I hate free agency being after the draft. But guys I like are:

SG: J-Lamb, Jenkins, Terrence Ross, D-Lamb, Buford
SF: Barnes, MKG, P Jones, Kris Joseph, Will Barton

So I guess filling in my ??? spots from above, ideally I'd love a roster like

Irving/Hinrich
J-Lamb/Gibson
Batum/Casspi/Gee
TT/Samardo/2nd round pick
Hawes/Varejao

But I'd expect Portland to match an offer made to Batum, and I think the Cavs probably finish with the 9th-11th worst record in the league, so Lamb, Barnes, and MKG will likely be a pipe dream.

And that's still probably too much turnover for one offseason.

Thanks man but actually just found that today to watch the Buckeyes game because I don't get BTN either.

Also just saw Knicks highlights and they are so bad it hurt my eyes.
