Cleveland Cavaliers-Beat the Bad Teams

When you’re 27-8, it’s pretty hard to punch holes in your resume.  The Cavaliers have beat the Lakers, Magic, and Dallas but have suffered defeats at the hands of the Wizards, Bobcats, and Grizzlies.  Consistency down the stretch will breed success come playoff time. 

Chicago Bulls-Fire Vinny Del Negro

While no one can be sure this is the answer to their problems, the Bulls young group of talent clearly needs a change of pace.  Act quickly, and they should have plenty of time to get a bottom tier playoff spot in the East.

Milwaukee Bucks-Hold Brandon Jennings Bobble Head Night

Clearly, a new star has been born in Milwaukee.  Outside of that, there is not much to celebrate or look forward to in Buckland.  Michael Redd has become an afterthought and every day should be Brandon Jennings Day from here on out. 

Detroit Pistons-Trade Richard Hamilton

Advising this to the Pistons doesn’t mean to imply that Hamilton can’t play anymore.  Since returning from injury, Hamilton has been a very good offensive weapon.  The problem is that Detroit put a lot into Ben Gordon this offseason and the two carbon copy players simply cannot coexist on the same team.  Go get yourself another post player for Rip and you might have something in the Motor City. 

Indiana Pacers-Get Danny Granger back

Granger has started to do some light workouts and won’t be far from a return for the Pacers.  With no true number two scoring option in sight, Indiana has to ride this former number one pick on the road of whatever success they hope to achieve this season.
