The basketball season has had some interesting twists so far and many people have been off with their initial predictions to say the least. The Cavs and Lakers aren't dominating their opponents, and I think I know the reasons. Let's take a look at the best teams in the league to see where they're at right now.
While it's true that nothing right now is set in stone, I do believe that the early season results have happened for a reason and I think it all comes down to the presence of certain players on these teams.
Some of the newer players on the best teams simply don't seem like good fits, in my opinion. In the same way that Allen Iverson was bad for the Pistons, I think that these guys will unfortunately have negative impacts on their new teams.
Ron Artest has gone to the Lakers. Sure, he's a great defensive player and he's incredibly talented, but I just don't think he's a team player.
I don't believe that Ron Artest wins his team games. He's a dramatic distraction to a team that had incredible chemistry.
As far as the Cavs go, Shaq is a different situation than the chemistry issues that Ron Artest may pose. His teammates will most likely love him. As far as the impact he has on the team goes, however, I'm not so sure that it's a good one. He's big and slow, and I think he's mixing things up too much.
Vince Carter in Orlando brings me the same thoughts. He simply couldn't win his team games in New Jersey, and I believe the Magic won't be better off with him.
The only team that I think got it right with its major acquisition was Boston. Rasheed Wallace plays his heart out, and was a huge contributor to the Pistons. It's no wonder the Celtics are still undefeated.
