Tony Battie just ain't cuttin' it. We may be able to shore up the shooting-guard problem if J.J. plays well. If Grant Hill stays, then it isn't as big a problem.<BR/><BR/>I'll predict 45 wins for this team. They could play most other East teams evenly, so they could win a playoff series as well. It's really hard to say without knowing the opening-day roster.Ben Q.

Once we address those, we should be contenders. I don't think that's too hyperbolic.Ben Q.
