I know that it’s very early in the season, but it’s never too early to begin an exciting conversation that can get basketball lovers going back and forth for hours. It’s a simple question, but the answer is never so easy. Who is the best team in the NBA this season?

Sure, a lot can change over the course of the season and it probably will. Still, I have some strong opinions about the state of the league right now and some of the teams that many predicted would dominate.

All due respect to some of the players that I’m about to put down, but I’m simply stating my opinions here. I believe that a player can be great on paper, and possibly a great fit for certain teams, but there are three players who’ve all flocked to elite teams this season, and I believe that none of them are the types of players who win their teams games. In fact, I believe just the opposite.

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.

He’s gone from team to team in the NBA and never seems to find a home where he’s loved. LA took a chance with him and I’m not sure that I agree with the move.

Then we have Shaq in Cleveland. My thoughts are the same. For direct evidence of this, look at the Suns before Shaq, the Suns during Shaq, and the Suns without him now. They went from elite to average, back to great this season. Cleveland is struggling.

Vince Carter hasn’t found his rhythm in Orlando, and I’m not convinced that he ever will. I believe that he’s a ball hog who did more bad for the Nets than good.

This leaves me with the Boston Celtics. Rasheed Wallace was a winner in Detroit, and will be the same in Boston. Therein lies the strongest team in the NBA, in my opinion.
