To much extend, some teams future may be influenced by FAs decisions, but of what the NETs will be deciding to do by the up coming trade deadline...

1. Darren Collison may decide to return to the league: Collison (surprisingly) retired playing pro basketball last season, but it is highly rumored that the 32yo is considering coming back...

Whether he has retained his capabilities on the floor haven't had an NBA game for 10 months now, is of course questionable, but if he has, teams like the Lakers or the Clippers that need depth in PG could benefit considerably.

What his salary demands would be in order to decide a come back, is also a parameter to consider.

1. Alexey Shved has a provision on his contract with Euroleague's Khimki Moscow, that allows the 31yo to sign with an NBA team at anytime if he chooses to do so... His salary would be low or easily affordable (near the vet min or just a bit more), but it would have to be for a contending team... The game of the explosive combo guard would fit well with the Bucks system, the Nets and the Magic, but all these teams should have to be involved in a trade that empties a roster spot first.

1. Whether the Nets will decide to trade Spencer Dinwiddie now, or whether they decide to pay the lux tax from this season and trade him next summer...

Choosing to hold on Dinwiddie and enter the lux tax this season, would cause the Nets to come a whole year closer to pay the (severe) repeaters tax in a season where they aren't in position to hope on anything better than being eliminated in the 1st round of the playoffs... Therefore the most sensible (and beneficial) for the Nets thing to do, is for them to trade Dinwiddie now and have back players of lower salary in order to go below the lux tax threshold. Obviously, Kyrie Irving's return this week makes the decision even easier (and most sensible) for the Nets to take it...

I guess the Bucks would be particularly interested in trading for Dinwiddie and are among the very few teams (if there is any other at all) that can provide back the return that would be ideal for the Nets.

A short recap of this post in case nobody wants to read all that crap"

"Blah blah blah something about the Nets"

"Those Bucks though..."

So you guys are joining @Wamu @ChiefsLakers67 and myself on that list.

So who exactly does he talk to?

Himself now. Were you around when he said he was in Philly for a business meeting & was going to speak at a chess seminar? After that he took a private jet to San Fransisco to go bungee jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge.

If the bungee were a little too long, it would explain a lot.

I presume you are replying to somebody out of the five I have on my ignore... If by "all" you mean that my ignore includes all posters in this forum, I guess you are right... These same five have 95% of the posts made in this forum and have the sick tendency to quote where they know they are on ignore and therefore won't be replied...

I guess it makes them look even more of the idiots they are... It is explainable though them being unemployed kids that are spending their entire day on a screen, looking to find a life to live in order to fill the hours of the day up...

I'm not reading all that

But serious question, not trolling: why do you post here?

The subject is "future power rankings of NBA teams". I'm only blocking idiots that don't post on subject and only know to troll, not my fault that the five idiots-trolls I have on ignore dominate this forum by making 95% (or more) of the posts here.

But why do you keep posting things like the future potential of the NBA teams when you don't want anyone to respond?

You can't see their responses. You just want to post your opinions and then...what?

We are here to interact and have fun. You don't want to do either of those.

They never responded on subject when posting before I've got them in my ignore, I therefore presume they never respond on subject after... A troll never changes its habits... It's what precisely makes a troll...
