Which newcomer made the team better/worse?

1. Shaquille O'neal
2. Vince Carter
3. Hedo Turkoglu
4. Rasheed Wallace
5. Richard Jefferson

... Other players.

1. Shaq - statistically, better; game plan, worse
2. Vince Carter - The same; bench, better
3. Hedo Turkoglu - All-around, better; Reality, jury's still out (we'll see)
4. Rasheed Wallace - In all aspects, better; Not going well right now (but it'll surely change)
5. RJ In all aspects, better; biggest off-season acquisition

You forgot Jamal Crawford

For our teams?

Jefferson was a great pick up for the Spurs IMO.
He adds youth as well as athleticism to the team.
Plus, he isn't a headcase (Pop doesn't like headcase players too much) so he fits in well with the team.

In addition, McDyess was a good pickup as well - I just feel that Pop is still attempting to work him into the Spurs team dynamic. I am sure he will be more beneficial to the team as the season porgresses.

RJ also has seen 2 NBA Finals appearances, so there's really nothing that he hasn't experienced in the NBA. And he's also been top 5-10 in the NBA in PPG, so if the Spurs ever do get injured they can rest upon him to make shots. Not to mention he's always been a good defender, so he fits in with SA in that aspect as well.

No for other teams also... what you think about each player

Jamal Crawford is great for Atlanta he is an offensive dynamo who is as clutch as they come. He has hit an abundance of gamewinners not to mention he is one of the top 5 current players with the most 50 point games scored. He is also a pretty good passer he has played the point before, so if Bibby is ever injured (like now). It takes the load off Joe Johnson and they should make Crawford the point. Anyways, he also knows how to be a 6th Man. Before, he became the Knicks best scorer he was on the bench as the 6th Man role when Isiah made that foolish trade for Francis and told Brown to start Francis alongside Crawford. Crawford played nice in that role amidst all the me first mentality of Marbury & Francis. Joe Johnson isn't that type of player that Marbury/Francis were and neither is Bibby that's why the team is playing the way that it is.

Hedo Turkoglu is a waste so far - Mr. Fourth Quarter is sometimes absent during 4th quarters and plays very casually on the court.
He plays as if he is content with his paychque and doesn't give a rat's behind about the Raptors' future.

VC hasn't made the Magic better or worse IMO.
He does a nice job setting up plays for his team mates and is a good shooter (though, he does have his fair share of off-nights offensively when he bricks, haha).

Shaq - I think Brown is still figuring out how to effectively incorporate Shaq into the Cavs dynamic but he isn't doing too bad I guess.

Wallace as well is a positive contribution (for the most part) for the Celtics.

Shaq- He needed time to gel in and get back into shape and has been slowed down by a very minor injury. Definately an upgrade over Big Z though.

Carter-he is doing well. So far he has brought some stellar offense to the magic and even though he isnt as good a playmaker his offense makes up for it.

Hedo-meh hasnt done much but has brought a guy who can create shots

Sheed-good fit on offense and defense

RJ-IDK but he does bring some more youth and athleticism on the perimeter

I think if the Magic win the finals, Carter will be the finals MVP.

Shaquille O'Neal - Worse for the Cavs
Vince Carter - Better for the Magic
Sheed - Abit Better for Celtics
Crawford - Alot better depth off the bench
Jefferson - cramped the Spurs style of play but is still goodd
