The offseason

[Celtic4Hire@AOL.com]

My opinion is that this team is playing about as good as it can. I think both 
Walker and Pierce are playing about 85% of their potential. I think that 
Palacio has some upside. VP is maxed out. Blount can improve a little 
offensively. Williams and Stith are maxed out. Therefore, the team, as it is 
constructed right now, is playing about as good as they are going to get. 
Getting Battie back will help some. However, we definitely need 
reconstruction or an upgrade somewhere to take it to the next level. Getting 
another scorer such as Mercer, I don't think is the answer. I think a inside 
scorer as a backup, such a Vin Baker--value pick, could be the answer. 
Getting a stud point guard who can relly play defense could also help (such 
as a Payton), but not as much as a inside scorer, IMO. I am kind of thinking 
that Pierce and Walker would fall apart waiting for the 3 no. 1s to develop. 
Therefore, my bets are that we will be looking Seattle's way come the 
offseason (and they will be looking our way with the draft load)...
