("It's a highly competitive league. Just because you're on top now doesn't mean you'll be their next year. If you're not going forward in this business, you're slipping backwards." "But last year you said the Lakers could manage to repeat based on what they had already assembled as a team." "Vince Carter doesn't have too many more years left in him. When he's gone the Magic are out." "But alot of improtant parts on the Celtics were just as old or older last year and you still liked their chances of a repeat." "Look, Orlando can become the center of attention once Phil Jackson and Kobe Bryant retire, the Celtics become too aged to be relevant, and Dwight Howard stars in enough highlight reels to take the spotlight off LeBron James. Besides, aren't you happy that we tried to be realistic about the odds of a repeat for once?" "No.") I'm joking, I'm joking. But in all seriousness, you can sort of picture it, can't you.
