The chicago team is looking like a contender for the title this year; yeah right. Even last year when they had a good record they were stilll never considered a contender.
and cleveland most of that teams core was built through free agency, Gooden, marshal, snow and jones
As with the mavs terry, stackhouse, dampier, diop, george all aquired through free agency. The only players from the draft that have an impact are harris and dirk.

I don't like some of what he does, but there is no debate he is a truly great coach...better than Phil, Pop, Pat...never had the stars those coaches had, yet always lead his team to success until he landed in NY.
Orlando is mostly draft, but now you have to include Turk and Lewis...big pieces of that team. Are you referring to the old Seattle (Kemp, Payton era) or current? Current is all draft, but the probably aren't fully rebuilt at this point.
