    I want to hear everyone else's opinion.

    No they arent. Maybe in a few years but certainly not at the moment. Win a playoff series first then we can talk about that next step to being elite.

    I wouldn't say they are elite yet.. I would like to see how the season pans out first before I say that... I think adding miller was a good upgrade and the team matured and learned a lot from the rockets during the playoffs, imo it will make for a great key for next year hopefully.

    No IMO because their defense is mediocre and they lack reliable post offense. Furthermore I just think they're too damn young. When's the last time someone as young as Roy led a team to a le? Duncan in '99 I think.

    Miller was a nice signing though.

    EDIT: D-Whistle didn't lead the Heat to a le in 2006. But alas, Roy isn't really in Whistle's class anyway.

    Not quite, need a bit more seasoning and guys like Oden and Batum to develop, but in 2-3 years you should be contending, especially as by then the Celtics and Mavs will have fallen off the age cliff, the Spurs will be staring at the post-Duncan era, and Kobe will be declining.

    this. The Blazers are a clear tier-2 team. They seem to lack a toughness that will hopefully come with experience. Roy is an absolute stud, though.

    Blazers COULD be elite....

    in 2-3 years.

    You have to give it to TBONG, he has been a faithful (though delusional) Jail Blazer fan forever.

    And a Spurstalk Troll just as long. At least he is (mostly) confining it to the NBA forum now.

    Any trade with Chris Paul in it must have Brandon Roy or Greg Oden going to the Hornets.
