As I was thinking about how all of these new teams are coming together following
free agency in the NBA, I'm reading what a lot of talking heads and purported experts are saying about the prospective standings. I've noticed that they seem to favor the teams that are composed of the most all-stars or MVP level players.

Of course, nobody really knows, but I'm reminded of a scene from the movie 'Miracle' when Herb Brooks is putting together his team that will go to the olympics. Craig Patrick says to Herb: "You're missing the best players." Herb responds: "I'm not looking for the best players, Craig. I'm lookin' for the right ones."

I think as the NBA season unfolds, you'll see quite a few teams who you thought were going to dominate end up struggling because they don't know how to play together. You'll all see some surprises.

I'm not ready to crown the Clippers or Lakers as champions yet.
