Kevin Garnett is back, Rajon Rondo is signed, Rasheed Wallace has arrived and Paul Pierce is as bad as ever. The Celtics are very, very easily ranked first in our first rankings of the 09-10 season. How do the other 29 teams compare?
The Pistons had a positive net PER at three positions during the 08-09 season, which were the three positions Joe Dumars attempted to improve in free agency and the draft.
Born within six months of each other in opposite corners of the world, two seven footers who are finalists for the Basketball Hall of Fame this fall are two of the best ever to play the center position.

The Flyers will kick off their Eastern Conference Finals' series with the Penguins on Friday night. Let’s Go Flyers, Let’s Go!
The selections for the All-NBA Teams were announced Thursday, with few surprises. I actually don’t disagree with any of the picks, but here’s what my All-NBA Fourth Team would have looked like:
David Stern revealed on Wednesday that the NBA plans to review its rules on fouling away from the ball and replays in the event of clock mishaps. Both are issues that need to be addressed – now how about the flawed playoff system?
Indiana Coach Jim O’Brien doesn’t appear to have much confidence in point guard Jamaal Tinsley. The Tin Man’s future with the Pacers doesn’t look promising, but they’d better ensure they have a replacement before dealing him out of town.
The Diamondbacks and Brandon Webb have resumed talks involving a contract extension again, good news for Arizona fans. The complete game he threw on Thursday confirms that.
Official MLB scorers took a save away from Braves closer Manny Acosta on Thursday after it was determined that he was wrongly credited with one on Wednesday night against San Diego. Naughty, naughty Atlanta score keeper.
There are rumors that the Pirates have been fielding calls for outfielders Jason Bay and Xavier Nady. Pittsburgh has a history of dealing budding/aging stars for cheaper/lesser known talent, but they appear to think they can contend soon.
Former Cincinnati wide receiver Chris Henry would like to join the Cowboys. What is so appealing about playing for Dallas? I suppose there are the famous cheerleaders, and the fact that Jessica Simpson will be at most home games...oh yeah, and they have a pretty decent team, as well.
Detroit receiver Roy Williams admitted earlier this week that he thought the Lions were going to trade him this offseason. He did receive a vote of confidence from the organization, but in today’s landscape that doesn’t mean much. Luckily for Roy, Detroit kept their word.
The Saints met with Shaun Alexander earlier this week, but have yet to offer him a contract. I’d give New Orleans some time to assess the situation, and then maybe we’ll see some kind of deal. I suppose it’s also possible that Deuce McAllister is looking good.
