Ummmm you had me agreeing with you until I saw this. Jermaine Oneal of five years ago was better than Bargnani, this version NO WAY. We saw a lot of both of them last year and JO is not the JO of old. He can still play D but the low post scoring and mid range game have suffered immensely over the last few years. JO rebounds and plays D better but Bargnani is far superior offensively.

Actually it is much better, we shipped out the deadbeats (JO and Moon) to some loser who actually took them!! Beyond that we added DeRozan, Hedo, Evans, probably Jack and Rasho (he's coming, mark my words).

Health this year versus last has to be a huge improvement as well. If you don't think this plays a factor ask the Wiz......

Raps may not make the 4th seed but they will finish ahead of the Heat.

Plus Mike Miller, Deshawn Stevenson, Nick Young as reserves. That's insane.
