...and they have crafted a team that will not be in last place at the end of the evening. I figured that there might be some basketball fans out there that might like to thread along during tonight's televised season openers. The Celtics visit the Cavaliers , 4:30 PM (Pacific) starting time on TNT. The Clippers "visit" the L*kers at 7:30 PM, also on TNT. Two other games on the schedule tonight...

(From the FanPosts, an excellent post mortem on the Chris Webber trade. - TZ) There has been much discussion lately about the relative merits/demerits of the second Chris Webber trade. I am of course referring to the February 2005 deadline deal where the Kings sent Chris Webber, Matt Barnes , and the unforgettable Michael Bradley to the Sixers for Kenny Thomas (our current favorite King), Brian Skinner...

As one might expect, we devote some time to Lamar Odom Contract Omni-Watch, along with the possible big man replacement options should LO and the Lakers fail to meet in the middle. The chaff to wheat ratio is alarmingly high, but BK and I did manage to milk the comedic bright side of Brian Skinner...

More photos » by Pat Sullivan - AP Will there be room on the roster for Novak? Browse more photos » I've resisted doing one of these roster break downs to this point, tempting as they are. After all, the things I wrote about the roster last spring were so ludicrously irrelevant by the time the season rolled around as to be laughable in retrospect . But with the draft finally in our rear...
