Miami has become a 3 headed hydra with Chris Bosh, Dwayne Wade, and LeBron James. What are the Celtics to do? Keep what they are doing. They have resigned Doc Rivers, Ray Allen and Pual Pierce. So, the big three (Garnett) and Rojan Rondo are all intact. Kendrick Perkins is hurt and may miss a good part of next season. And, Rasheed Wallace is contemplating retirement.

New comer Cole Aldrich did not play in OKC's first summer league game of the year. in fact, the Thunder did not start a single rookie.
James Harden did not make a single 3pt shot, but attempted 18 free throws and had 19 points for the Thunder. 2nd year player Eric Maynor had 5 assists and 15 poinsts. DJ White continues to show he can score with 13pts on 29 minutes and 6 rebounds. He may be needed this year if Serge Ibaka's injury is significant. He went down with a knee injury but walked off the floor. There is no word yet on what his condition is.

There are three ways an NBA team can improve: 1) Draft 2) Trades 3) Free Agency.
I've taken a look at how well teams have drafted since 2003. I used the number of rebounds, points, assist, steals, and blocks to help me rank the teams on their ability to draft. If a player was acquired via a trade, he counts towards the team that received him in the trade. Also, the statistics that count are only the ones that the player acquired while with the team that drafted him. So, if a player was traded and then became a good player, that team lost out. Let's see the results.
