Don't look now but they got Adam Morrison, Felton, Okafor, and Wallace.

Oh they will be able to compete. This team has done an excellent job with the draft each year and they have a load of young talent. I think they will fall short of the playoffs this year, but they stand a chance of getting a good free agent next summer with all the cap room they will have and they will be in the upper tier of teams come the 2007/2008 season. I am very impressed with their roster, but I think they need a better coach. Bickerstaff needs to step back and be the GM solely and Larry Brown would do a great job teaching these young kids the right way to play. Even though I despise Larry Brown he is a great teacher and molds great point guards if given enough time.

Yes- if they do two things...
1. Stay healthy (particularly Okafor and May)
2. Sign a free agent that will help the team-
someone like Matt Harpring, Flip Murray, Vladimir Radmanovich
any one of those guys would fit in nicely and make this team a contender- But the main thing is health- Okafor can't go down for as long as he did last year and May has to be on the court being productive- with that you know Felton and Knight will carry their load and Morrison will give them another good shooter- they are steadily improving

of course they could. Last year Emeka Okafor was injured and Sean May didn't play much. They competed for the first three quarters but lacked finishers come crunch time. they also lacked a consistent scorer. Adam Morrisson gives them a 15 point scorer (at least) right out of the bat and someone who could (and probably would) handle the scoring come fourth quarter. They have a defender in Wallace, a low-post rebounder/scorer in Okafor and competitor in Felton. They would really give team fits and are definitely not pushovers. Michael Jordan AND Adam Morrisson are very passionate characters (especially Morrisson, who LITERALLY CRY due to his desire to win).

yes they can. i think they can compete with any team at any given night. but competing is different from winning. i think they are 2-3 pieces away from forming a formidable squad. they have a decent starting 5 in Brezec, okafor, morrison, wallace and felton with sean may and brevin knight coming off the bench. nice core. i think jordan and bickerstaff are making the right moves and leading the team in the right direction. i just hope emeka and sean may stay off the injured list.

that could position self assurance in a great number of motives, which comprise standard temperature, humidity, and social attractiveness. once you're unfavourable and homeless, that is continually desirable to placed on something. I talked about a guy Saturday carrying 2 pairs of filthy pants, a sweatshirt with a minimum of yet another under, employing a motorbike down a significant highway in Wrightsville sea coast and it became once 88. i'm certain he stunk all styles of nasty, notwithstanding this is commonplace. Me personally, some aspect more desirable than a 2, 3 on the most would get me banned from the position of living.

Yea... it actually looks like they'll be decent next year. Morrison is a great addition. The managers of this team deserve really high marks.

I dont think they will have a winning season but things are looking good for them in the future.

Not a bad roster at all, and don't forget to add Sean May and Brevin Knight...

i totally agree with you guys... they are not a playoff team just yet but they are building their team correctly. they will surely be a playoff team in 5 years time as long as they won't hire a certain isaiah thomas.. hehehe... just for laughs...
