I've been e-mailing back and forth with Chad Ford, and I wanted to share will everyone a paragraph I wrote that both he and I found to be incredibly brilliant. I wrote:
"I'm a little nervous for the Suns. So far, they're a lot better when they go small and Shaq is on the bench, but I guess they need him to win in the hyper-competitive West, and there's still plenty of time. Dallas is stupid -- Kidd is borderline washed up: can't shoot and turns the ball over way way too much. They're losing in the first round. Lakers got a major steal in Gasol. I think the only things that can stop them in the playoffs are Kobe's finger injury, Kobe's ego, or the Suns -- if they click with O'Neal. Speaking of the Spurs, the pickup of Kurt Thomas was very significant. Ultimately, though, here's my prediction: Brent Barry holds the key to the Western Conference. He said he's signing with the Spurs or the Suns. If he signs with the Spurs, the Lakers take it. If he signs with the Suns, it's Phoenix in the finals."
That's right, mark my words: Brent Barry, more so than any other big-name acquisition, will determine the fate of the 2007-08 Western Conference Champion.
