#24 PORTLAND TRAILBLAZERS
This Portland Team made a step this season to become a contender in the Western Conference. This young team has improved each year with there young core of (Their Stud/Leader) Brandon Roy(ALSO PICTURE ABOVE), and Lamarcus Aldridge(another young and upcoming). You add that to a solid cast of young guys like: Jerryd Bayless, Rudy Fernandez, Martell Webster, Travis Outlaw, Steve Blake and Greg Oden. This team is only going to get better; lastly, this team proved that they are ready winning over 54 games and even 55. So they will be a threat for a long time in the Western Conference.
Team Needs
-A experience Point Guard who can take them to another level
-Also Lamarcus Aldridge needs a backup at the 4
-Lastly, they need a center that can play with their back to the basket(to help scoring load)
#23 SACRAMENTO KINGS
Kevin Martin
This Sacramento Kings team, where can I start; alot has to be addressed if Sacramento wants to return to one of the best in the west. First, This organization needs to find a Coach that will develop a plan in what he wants the team to look like. What Im trying to say is they need a Coach who will set a new culture with the team, front office, city and fans. (I wish they would have kept Reggie Theus he was a heck of a coach) Second, they have a lot of youngsters on this team that will only get better; with there young stud star player Kevin Martin; Young Big Men Jason Thompson and Spencer Hawes. But this team has one of my favorite players Andres Nocioni who always plays with heart and passion and brings a winning attitude to this team. Lastly, thinks have to start in the Front Office, and provide this team with tools to make them successful; But the great news is that you have the #4 pick and #23 pick to address your needs.
Team Needs
-A point guard who is a distrubutor
-also Small Forward can be addressed(thats tough becuase Francisco Garcia is a solid player in this league.)
-lastly, this team can also add a backup front-court player
Tomorrow I break down #22 Dallas, #21 New Orleans and #20 Utah Jazz
