Ready For Another NBA Season!?!?!?

It's the quite before the storm and this season a lot of teams are coming in with high expectations.
Didn't I say that this off season would be very busy? I should have put money on it.
KG has finally left the T'Wolves for Boston, Penny is back with Shaq, Derek Fisher returns to Purple and gold, Steve-O returns to Houston, Reggie Miller almost comes out of retirement to join KG, and with all that, there is still more to come.
Other than having the 1st and 2nd pick in this years draft, the West didn't really improve; in fact some have said that the tides are changing to the favor of the East who was very busy plundering the west's roster.
First Boston trades for Ray Allen then goes after Keven Garnett and they almost talked Miller out of retirement. Then the Magic made the biggest catch by signing Rashard Lewis, the Heat snagged Smush Parker, and Zach Randolph left Golden State for New York.
Questions:
1.How will Boston do?
Other teams have tried the all star formula and failed. I think Boston will be next on that list and Doc Rivers will be fired before the All Star Break.
2.Is Isiah really gonna coach again?
Although the Knicks did a much better job this past season, Isiah Thomas is a mediocre coach at best. Now that they have what they believe to be a good 2-1 punch with Randolph and Curry, they should find a coach that can mold them into something big. Thomas should get back to the front office and let someone else run the team. Who does he think he is, Pat Riley?
3.Can the Heat get hot?
Is Parker and Penny enough to get them back to the top? I don't think so. The Heat is still an old team playing in a young teams world. They really need to focus on building a future around Wade. I think getting Penny to rejoin Shaq was nothing more then hype for a team that really needs to prove that their championship was no fluke.
4.Where is the Mavs and the Cavs this off season?
The Mavericks and the Cavilers should have been leading the charge in noise making this off season, but instead they basicly were nowhere to be found.
Random Final Thoughts and Predictions:
It's Over for the Pistons
Denver will rise this season
Is Hill enough to help the Suns?
Before the end of this season Kobe will be demanding a trade once again.
If used correctly: Keyon Dooling, J.J Redick, Dwight Howard, Rashard Lewis and Trevor Ariza can be an unstoppable starting lineup for the Magic.

You forgot the bobcats rockness. I think that they'll be the suprise team of the east. JarJarBinks on 9/5/2007 8:09:50 AM
Some are also talking about the Atlanta Hawks that way as well. Rockness on 9/5/2007 8:11:11 AM
Honestly, I think the Magic will go far this season. Rockness on 9/5/2007 8:13:13 AM
Your articles may be alright,but you choice of teams sucks. The tragic are going nowhere is season, Grant Hill made a good move because the Suns will win the championship this season. Darth Butterfly on 9/5/2007 8:19:14 AM
Darth Butterfly, stop smoking crack. The Suns will have to get past both Mavericks and Spurs which I don't think they can do and as far as the Magic goes, they have both inside and outside players now. Double teaming dwight will leave someone open to score and who can go one on one with Howard? Rockness on 9/5/2007 8:24:00 AM
The magic getting RL is a good move but the are still an incomplete team. larock on 9/5/2007 3:16:08 PM
