GM: Marty Hurney
ALL NEW COACHES

NEEDS: 
Impact DB: They may have the worst secondary in the league now, if Jeffrey Okudah somehow slips past Detroit, Carolina should consider a trade up

NEEDS: O-Line: Protecting Tom Brady is priority one

LB Depth: They also need another LB to help out Lavonte David. 
DB Depth

GM: Thomas Dimitroff
Head Coach/DC: Dan Quinn  4-3
Offensive coordinator: Dirk Koetter
Defensive coordinator: Raheem Morris 
NEEDS: 
DB: They traded Desmond Trufant after a down year, they clearly want to get younger at corner and need depth at safety 
Pass Rusher: Dante Fowler is a solid addition and Grady Jarrett is among the best in the league but Takk McKinley hasn't been consistent 
O-Line: Even after drafting the O Line with their first two picks last year they still need help 
QB: Matt Ryan will be 35 in May, it will soon be time to find a successor or a young backup at the least, Matt Schaub will be 39 years 
RB: Todd Gurley is only on a one year deal and has major durability concerns 
C: Alex Mack
RB:  Todd Gurley 
SS: Keanu Neal
DE: Takk McKinley (5th year option, make or break year for him)

Magic Johnson is probably the only player in history to be as versatile and skilled as an 18 year old. Flagg does everything well on a basketball court. More importantly, has the mentality, toughness and maturity to be the face of a franchise and potentially the entire league. He was the best player in college basketball and led a stacked Duke roster in every category. His playm...

5 Trades That Make At Least Some Sense

Going off of my "On the block: The 10 players most likely to be traded" I decided to take it to the next step and try some trades via the ESPN NBA Trade Machine. So based on some of the players I had listed I have my 5 trades that make at least some sense. Since they all make since, none of them will happen. At least not exactly the same way. NOTE: I added the draft say trades and all contract information is based on the 2009-2010 season. TRADE #1 http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=267ztkz There have been some rumors that the TWolves are interested in Anthony Randolph. Some rumors say could trade one of their 3 1st round picks and someone else to get him. I think if their is a trade both teams might just go all out and make it a blockbuster deal, here's how it would benefit both teams. MIN: Monta Ellis and Anthony Randolph They get a great scorer in Ellis and the length they want at the small forward spot with Randolph. They also keep their pick and...

NBA Off-season Winners and Losers

So the NBA off-season is pretty much over. The draft, the major trades, and of course Free Agency have all came and went. Some Free Agents such as David Lee, Ray Felton, Allen Iverson, Ramon Sessions, Nate Robinson, Linas Kleiza, and Big Baby Davis are still unsigned. Pretty much all of these players have been rumored to go overseas mainly to Olympiakos, and it looks like Kleiza is really close to signing with the Greek club. Also, two of those players, Lee and Robinson are on the Knicks. The Knicks are said to be interested in Sessions and Felton but both are still Free Agents as of today. So with all of this, I present my 2009 NBA off-season Winners and Losers WINNERS: Los Angeles Lakers -The defending champs were able to re-sign Lamar Odom and get Ron Artest for the Mid-Level Exception. The are clearly my favorites to win the title next year and become the first team to repeat since they won 3 straight titles in 00, 01, 02. the rich get richer and the strong get stronger. Bos...
