Ainge made some interesting moves that turned out for Boston. The Garnett trade was really a no-brainer and Ainge fleeced his former teammate Kevin McHale. The Ray Allen trade also worked out and Allen accepted his role as third banana. The other players just came to play with the Big Three, but give Ainge kudos for handing Sam Cassell and P.J. Brown contracts. (Perry Missner/SportsBuff.com)

Much like the Knicks, it is hard to see how the current Bucks roster will adapt to Skiles style. Skiles is known to like hard-nosed defenders. Charlie Bell might qualify as one, but he is a 10-15 minute guy. There will likely be another summer of roster turnover in Milwaukee. (Perry Missner/SportsBuff.com)

The AP reported that Carlisle is ready to open up the offense and run-and-gun, unlike previous Mav coach Avery Johnson. Whether Jason Kidd has the legs to keep running at 35 years old will be the question for Dallas in 2008-09. It's hard to argue with Carlisle's track record of success, so Dallas should be playoff bound again. (Perry Missner/SportsBuff.com)

Duncan recorded his third straight double-double, averaging 16.0 points and 17.0 rebounds over that span. (Chris Bender/SportsBuff.com)

Hamilton has scored over 30 points in back-to-back games, averaging 31.5 points over that span. (Chris Bender/SportsBuff.com)

Oddly, one coach decided to leave Durant off his ballot, making Al Horford the only unanimous choice. Perhaps that will serve as motivation for Durant, who was clearly the best rookie in 2007-08. Durant needs to put some weight on his skinny frame so he can rebound like he did at Texas. His future is clearly very bright. (Perry Missner/SportsBuff.com)

Horford was the solid low post presence the Hawks have needed for years. He provided 10.1 ppg and 9.7 rpg. He also averaged a double-double in the seven game series against the Celtics. As he develops more low post moves, he should be an even better fantasy player. (Perry Missner/SportsBuff.com)

The Pistons won without Billups on Saturday in Orlando. Rodney Stuckey started and Lindsey Hunter played significant minutes. If Billups can play, Detroit should be able to seal the series, even if it Game Five is in Orlando. (Perry Missner/SportsBuff.com)

If the Hornets are to defeat the defending champion Spurs, they are going to need Chandler to contribute. He went 5-for-5 from the field in Game Three, but San Antonio took him out of the game plan on Sunday. While his home/road splits were not too different, he was actually slightly better on the road. (Perry Missner/SportsBuff.com)

This is just hot air. If Davis and his agent believe that they can get more than $16.4 million that his contract owes him, they are delusional. Davis played in 82 games for the first time since 2001-02. It is unlikely another team would pony up huge dough for a 29-year-old point guard with a history of injury troubles. (Perry Missner/SportsBuff.com)

The current New York roster may not be equal to D'Antoni's preferred fast pace game, but the former Suns coach has had great success in the NBA. He and Donnie Walsh will work together to bring talent to the Big Apple so we won't have to read any more articles about what is wrong with the Knicks. His acceptance as the Knicks new coach is probably good news for Jamal Crawford. (Perry Missner/SportsBuff.com)
