If you had read my last blog, which was so eloquently thought out, unequalled by the rest of the worlds greatest thinkers, you would know I like to live in a world of fantasy. A world inhabited by elves, unicorns, dragons, and Memphis Grizzlies fans. It was a masterpiece with the likes of Leonardo DaVinci, Michaelangelo, Donatello, and those other guys named after famous turtles... Perhaps you may think I am being pretentious by referencing such masters mentioned above, and using words like eloquently... and pretentious... However, nobody has ever accused me of being humble, of being a man of quiet means. Those that might wish to accuse me of such things are just stupid...
Anyway, that being said, I want your input. About me? No. I already know what your response will be, and I thank you for your adoration. I want your input about your team.
We all have our favourite teams. We all have our ideas on how we can make our favourite teams better. Many of us like to try to think with a realistic view by assessing a teams needs, and seeing what's available via trade, or free agency, or whatever... But I am not writing about trades, more about free agents... but in my own crazy little universe type of way...
Here's what I want to know. Who do you think in the NBA it would take to make your team that championship contender? Maybe you feel your young athletic team is missing a good veteran presence, your team is missing that second (or first) scoring option, your team needs that energetic player off the bench to take over when your starters need a rest, you need more size, maybe a new coach is in order...
Let us say that that one player has suddenly become available. Who is it?
There's is so much to think about, and I would like to hear, or read, your thoughts. Let's have one rule, though. Let's keep it to players who are still active in the NBA, no retired players... coaches however, must still be eligible to coach ( no dead guys).
Do you think one player can be the difference on your team?
Cleveland Cavs: Ron Artest
Detroit Pistons: Ron Artest
Phoenix Suns: Ron Artest
Denver Nuggets: Ron Artest
Utah Jazz: Ron Artest
Orlando Magic: Ron Artest. Just kidding. Michael Redd
I'm a Toronto sports fan. The Maple Leafs are my hockey team, the Raptors are my basketball team, and the Blue Jays my baseball team. I'll do what I can to stick with them through good times and bad, and always hope for the best. Lately, the Raps have been my number one team, and the one that has the best future right now.
I'll have my opinions that may be shared by others, or not. However, they are just opinions which are intended to get others to think differently about whatever topic they may be.
