Ariza will be missed though.

I really think that playoff run benefited them. Other than re-signing Birdman and maybe Jones, there isn't much they should do. Carmelo justkeeps improving, and I expect him to have a big season this year...plus Nene and Smith will look to even have a better season. Although they might not be atthe top of the list, they are definitely in the list of contenders.Originally Posted by 430AM
Why do people keep mentioning the Nuggets as contenders??? What have they done to improve their roster this off season?
I'm a huge Melo fan but I don't see them making as much noise as they did last year.

What have they done? Nothing.
So where did they end up last season? Western Conference Finals.
Why? Because they picked up Chauncey, during the season.
So give them a full season the way they finished the season, and you see why people pick them as at least contenders.
The Spurs will be healthy next year. They have young players they're involving in their grand scheme. Bowen is still relevant, he may not be what he once was, but he's still a good player. Manu will be back healthy next year. TP will be strong. Timmy will be strong. Richard Jefferson is going to be hungry again.
bowen still plays for the spurs?
just messin,
damn artest

How in the world does this work?
Seriously, at any point during last year's Finals, was anyone telling themselves, "damn, the Lakers really need Ron Artest(notes)" ?!?
Apparently, for whatever reason, the Lakers are close to a deal with Ron Artest.
And it makes no sense.http://
The triangle offense demands a presence that doesn't hold onto the ball. It's an exacting thing that asks for quick decisions and smart resolutions.
Why Ron Artest, in any form, would have a place in this championship-driven mess? It boggles the mind.
The Lakers don't need him. His off-court palatables hardly matter. The Laker offense begs for players whose hands don't stick to the ball, and Ron's hands stick to the ball like no other. He's the wrong idea. He's a wasted face. He's the wrong choice.
Let that sink in.
He's the wrong choice.
The Lakers, as presented during June of 2009, had no flaws. Honestly, not a single flaw, outside of defending point guards.
Artest, as great as he is, solves absolutely nothing.
He's a fine player, and everyone knows his name, but the Lakers don't need him. He'll spin the radio chat show fodder funk to no end, but that means absolutely nothing. He's a defensive-minded small forward heading toward a team with small forward depth and a good defensive history.
The Lakers don't need Ron Artest. It's a pity that his talents don't mind that apogee.
