Yeah, definitely going to have to see more from CP3 but I guess he still has a year or two more to develop before he can really shine. Like Nash before him, I'm a bit upset at how low his assist numbers are...

Real battle zone in the pacific right now over who will win the division and try and get a easier road to the conference Finals here. </p><p> </p><p>

Jermaine certainly hasn't left our scoring sheets empty and good to see him still being productive as he gets on with age.</p>

[michgcs]

Nice to see the scoring load being distributed a little more evenly, but I think Wade should score 25+ if the Clips have any chance of battling the elite of the West.

[RingRider]

My early instinct was to get on Paul...but it actually looks as though he's grown a lot as the season has progressed. He brought that +/- stat up nicely from the first month.

Looking good so far, Hoping for Wade to get to a more 20 points a game type scoring and maybe start phasing out O'Neal and Wallace as we keep going, but so far so good in LA.</p>

Here comes the playoffs.</p>

[michgcs]

Was just gonna ask if you'd considered sliding Wade to SG and starting Salmons at SFand making Flip the sparkplug off the bench, but it looks like you beat me to the punch LOL

Murray off the bench will be key for certain team with a deeper squad overall.</p>

Your 2007-2008 NBA Rookie Of The Year, Kevin Durant. Bosh and Durant with the veteran savy of Allen is gonna be trouble for the rest of the year and trouble for us as well. Kinda scared to face a max KD sometime soon.</p>

Westbrook will head to Orlando and play with their ailing roster looking to get younger.</p>

<p>2008 Free Agency/Trade</p><p> </p><p>

We trade away Ben Wallace and some future 2nd round picks for Joe Smith, this was a cap room move as we have Paul going into his final year and looking for a big time check this free agency. </p><p>

Moving onto a chaotic free agent class that saw us pick up a steal in Josh Smith.</p><p> </p><p>

NICE! I like the Josh Smith pick-up. Hopefully he can fill the defensive void that Big Ben leaves behind.

Early injuries stopping us from getting off to a great start, but still decent as the Kings look to be the next great superteam in the NBA and a force to reckon with if we don't start to produce with Wade here.</p>

Under .500 for us right now, not looking too good for our playoff hopes but we can definitely sneak into a 6-8th seed given the right circumstances. Josh Smith doing great for us, but we can't afford to keep him over the Summer.</p>
