The next EBKL season looks to be another great one. Great Lakes, LA and Alpha Centauri should continue as the cream of the league.

Beavadillo falls far from the upper echelon as all3 is making a game run at 0-82 to begin retooling. Looks like the best bet to replace them is Saskatchewan, with Jordan coming back strong to rejoin Parish, and the additions of Magic and Buck Williams. I don't know what the overall minutes depth looks like but that foursome alone should make them contenders for the rest of the decade.

Illinois has a great core going with the Jazz trio, but my guess is they're another season away from really hitting their stride. Stockton hasn't broken out yet.

Golden State looks deep and talented and will improve. They don't have a superstud, but I've learned in this league that a thin layer of high quality generally loses out to a full rotation of even quality.

Shanghai could be a darkhorse. Defense at the wings will be legendarily bad (English and Kiki have a COMBINED D rating of 24), but the Shaolin will score points, grab rebounds and generally make nuisances of themselves.

Am I leaving out any rising stars?

to make this a litte more the Beavadillo Magic now known as the Disciples

wetz64, I didn't catch the part about it being the Magic's pick man. I'd like to think about this, it kills my minutes. having a lottery pick would surely net me a guy with enough minutes to cover..but #20, not so sure. I'll honor it either way I guess b/c in your offer you did include "magic's" pick, but you were dealing me Magic..I dunno, I got confused a bit man. I thought we were swapping lottery picks.

wetz64, I just can't do that trade man. I would be LUCKY to net Walter Friggin' Berry at #20. That said I would rather have the respect as an owner from fellow owners in here. I will honor the bet, no qualms, if you so choose. It was however an honest mistake.
