The Short End of the Stick, For once, the Bucks aren't getting it...

Firstly Id contend that LBJ stands apart as a free agent from all………….just for that fact that he is so ridiculously good that whomever he signs for is pretty much automatically a contender.
When you look at whom Danny Ferry has managed to stick him with, this year apart, its kinda scary…………..Donyell Marshall, Larry Hughes, Wally, A seemingly washed up Ben Wallace…………and still he managed to get them past the Piston’s and into the 2007 with a team that had Sasha Pavlovic & Boobie Gibson as key contributors…….
Whilst I love Wade, I think he needs that much more talent around him, which has been proven after the last couple of seasons, they have a couple of role players, and pretty much D league talent and the Heat have been struggling
Also Id put Bosch in that next Bracket of guys don’t think he is in the same league as either LBJ or Wade………….toronto are a defensive black hole and they have zero chemistry and whilst that isn’t at all all on Bosch’s head, still he is the main guy and they are barely a play off team…..so id put him in that next tier along with guys like Joe Johnson, Boozer, Stoudemire…………harsh? Well if Im signing the cheques that would be my view, these guys are depended on what pieces you put around them
Secondly as much as I hate to say it Chicago despite being handicapped by VDN starts ahead of a lot of the teams vying for free agency because of Derrick Rose, plus it’s a pretty good sports town. Add in some nice talented big guys in Noah & Gibson and they can be confident of making a decent run at a Wade, Johnson or Bosch……….
Also with a new owner coming, a new arena in a couple of years some good young talent Brooke Lopez, Courtney Lee, plus some trade play in Devin Harris if they get that roll of the dice and nix the 1st or 2nd draft pick and get Wall or Turner they seem like they can retool pretty quick, same goes for GSW if Larry Ellison buys them you imagine getting Nelson out and with guys like Curry & Randolph, plus Monta Ellis & Biedrins they can make some plays…..If your the Clippers you would just be dying of envy when you look over and see Donald Sterling…..

Of course for the other teams if LBJ & Wade both resign with their respective sides, Im guessing that’s more likely in Wades case if they can get him some help, do you think Miami regret not making that play for Stoudemire come thru right about now?
With LBJ I don’t think anyone can really guess what he will do? But if he stays everyone is just scrambling like heck!!

I think perhaps the side getting the shortest end of the stick is Washington who in all likelyhood have a team headlined by Arenas, Blatche & Josh Howard next season yikes….

For the Bucks just hoping they grab the bulls lottery pick and use it wisely
