Very interesting article. And the one below it throws out names of guys that teams probably want to move by the trade deadline including : Caron Butler, Hinrich, Iguodola. Sorry for the off topic.

I like the Article, but I dont agree with some of it. For one, I dont think just 50 wins, or the 53 we're on pace for, makes you elite. I think 50 makes you a contender yes. I think 60 definatly constitutes elite, and anything 55 and up puts you in the running. You may ask whats the difference in two wins, well: Both Cle games would be a start.

I think that until we can beat the other 2 "elites" we cantconsider ourself in that class. For the rcord, I do believe we can beat Cle, but Orl has our number it seems. However If we could atleast make a competitive showing against them it would suffice.

12-9 in the last 21 games. NOT ELITE.
