And with Todd MacCulloch gone, Matt Geiger becomes even more important. Trail Blazers Sabonis has the size and mobility of your refrigerator, but a much better outside shot. Portland hopes to re-sign him. The bench is solidified even more with Ruben Patterson backing up at small forward. Derek Anderson replaces old Steve Smith.
Team still has potential for great things, or ugly things.
Leadership would be nice, and Rasheed Wallace isn't exactly the ideal player to provide it. Bucks Kept things the same as last year, which is smart. They'd still like to add Anthony Mason, which is also smart. People have this silly idea that with zone defenses legalized the Bucks will be even more deadly. If zone defenses will make it easier for the Bucks to score, opponents won't use zone defenses on them.
