Since February has begun, the NFL Season is officially over and March Madness is still a month away, what better to write about than the bonanza that will be the 2010 NBA free agency class. The off-season will yield what will end up as the greatest NBA team ever. Of course i'm talking about the 2010-2011 New Jersey Nets. Although I wish the Sixers would somehow overcome their unlucky history and beat the lottery odds, I believe the 4-46 Nets are waiting for their logo to emerge from a rather large envelope. The prize for winning the lottery this year is a guy named John Wall; maybe you've heard of him? Wall is a bigger, stronger, faster version of Chris Paul. No, I am not suggesting that a rookie will make the Nets 60 wins better. Although Wall goes to the lottery winner, he'll be an afterthough when LeBron James and Dwyane Wade are lured to North Jersey by Wall's presense and part-owner Jay-Z. LeBron has made known that he wants to play with D-Wade, so once LeBron goes Wade will follow. Other than Devin Harris who would be traded on draft night when the Nets have Wall in hand, the Nets have no significant contracts. LeBron wants to win championships, and he hasn't won anything in Cleveland. LeBron trusts his teammates, which means he needs a few that he can defer to when he is doubled or tripled in crunch-time. Wade and Wall are the perfect compliments. Wall can be a great facilitator and run the team when one of his superstar teammates need a rest. The Nets could feature a core of LeBron, Wade, Wall, Brook Lopez and whatever Harris gets them. The Nets are one of a few teams in the league that could possibly handle the addition of TWO superstars. I don't know what's going through LeBron's head, but one thing is for sure, LeBron wants to win...and soon.
