Team            Comment                                           Grade 
 
Atlanta         With SF Shareef Abdur-Rahim in the fold, the        A 
                  Hawks are loaded up front. 
Boston          G/F Joe Johnson, the first of three                 B+ 
                  first-rounders, should become that missing 
                  third scorer. 
Charlotte       PF Kirk Haston isn't ready, and the Hornets         D 
                  needed a guard. 
Chicago         PF Tyson Chandler and C Eddy Curry are nice,        B 
                  but a decent record is a long way off. 
Cleveland       The Cavs better hope C DeSagana Diop's foot         C- 
                  heals better than C Zydrunas Ilgauskas'. 
Dallas          The Mavericks had two second-round picks but        C 
                  are more interested in free agency. 
Denver          Omar Cook should replace Robert Pack as the         B 
                  backup point guard. 
Detroit         PF Rodney White and SF Cliff Robinson will take     A 
                  the scoring load off Jerry Stackhouse. 
Golden State    SG Jason Richardson is a nice pick, but good        C- 
                  luck with Larry Hughes at the point. 
Houston         Dealing three first-round picks for PF Eddie        A- 
                  Griffin was pure genius. 
Indiana         Picking up PGs Jamaal Tinsley and Jamison           B- 
                  Brewer means Jalen Rose is a small forward 
L.A. Clippers   How will Elton Brand do against the West's          A 
                  power forwards? 
L.A. Lakers     C Greg Foster for Bucks SG Lindsey Hunter? The      B+ 
                  rich get richer. 
Miami           C Ken Johnson can't score ...
