THE MORNING BREW
Lockout leaves time to ponder lineups
During this time of year, NBA teams, having just finished
the Summer League, normally would make roster changes in order improve their lineups for the upcoming season.
However, amid a lockout with no end in sight, these moves haven't happened. So let's take a look at some moves that the top teams should make if the lockout ends
DALLAS MAVERICKS:
Let's begin with the defending champion Mavericks. They need only to re-sign players to be title favorites.
Clearly center Tyson Chandler is priority number one. After they re-sign him the Mavs could focus on re-signing at least two players from the group of forward Caron Butler and guards J.J. Barea and DeShawn Stevenson. If the Mavs get Chandler and at least two, if not all three, of the others the team will be set for another deep run.
MIAMI HEAT:
The Eastern Champions have a good starting lineup, but their role players struggled with injuries, inconsistency and, for some of them, just a lack of skill.
Guard Mario Chalmers needs to be resigneu in spite of what some people think. He is a great defender who has deep shooting range and can make clutch shots, and the Heat doesn't need him to control the ball with Lebron James and Dwayne Wade on the court. Samuel Dalembert would be a good and realistic free agent to fix the team's weakness at center. They could also use a veteran who can produce off the bench like Shane Battier, Tayshaun Prince or, if they are really desperate, Michael Redd.
The Thunder have no real weaknesses other than lack of experience and bench scoring.
OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER
and re-signing center Nazr Mohammed will help their inside depth. Oklahoma City's top priority would be to replace guard James Harden's bench scoring.
Luckily there are a lot of free agents who can fill Harden's sixth man role. Players like Battier, Grant Hill and Tracy McGrady would all be a good fit. Marcus Thornton can change games with his scoring and would be a good fit in terms of price and fitting in on the young team. Oklahoma City could also get another big man, such as Kenyon Martin, to throw at Dallas, Los Angeles and Memphis.
CHICAGO BULLS:
The Bulls have the defending MVP and may only be a good shooting guard away from becoming elite. The Bulls will have plenty of options in this year's free agent group including Nick Young, Jamal Crawford and the others mentioned above.
These two teams both need to look for younger players and to improve
LA LAKERS/
BOSTON CELTICS:
their bench. The Lakers are the stronger or the top to bottom and need rest above anything, but could really use a point guard such as T.J. Ford to improve over Derek Fisher. The Celtics, by contrast, need to improve the bench, starting by re-signing Glen "Big Baby" Davis, Delonte West and Jeff Green. They also need to improve at center and backup shooting guard, meaning they would be competing with Miami and Chicago for guys like Dalembert, Crawford, Battier, and Hill.
