I'm a Pistons fan, and I would take Haslem right now to play on our squad. He is a solid player.

I agree with a lot of these, mine will look similar, although I may do a East/West version.

He whines too much. He is almost as big of a baby as Dan Marino.
Haslem is not strong enough to go up with the top PF's in the league. Amare Stadomine (screw up spelling), Drwight Howard, Shaq back, KG and even injured Greg Oden.
Also, I'd take your rasheed.

That would be a nice trade except for Rasheed's taller, and although he doesn't play like a big man, his height does help.
Haslem is better than you guys are saying, put a good big man next to him and he plays real well, now all the opposing bigs just watch him, and he can't do much. The Heat don't get out of their series with Detroit in 06 without Haslem.
Here's my picks. I'm doing an East/West version, because normally you get a tie between guys from each league and "the man" will just pick one of them, and some picks I'm torn about.
MVP- East-Lebron James/West-Chris Paul
Coach of the Year-East-Scott Skiles or Jim O'Brien/West-Mike Dunleavy/Nate McMillin should have one by now and since he doesn't, that kinda makes me think he won't get it this year, but for my money he is on the short list of guys I would want coaching my team.
Sixth Man-East-Rodney Stuckey/West-Lamar Odom
Rookie of the Year-East-Derrick Rose (or Brook Lopez)/West-Rudy Fernandez or Russel Westbrook
Most Improved-East-Jamal Crawford or Drew Gooden/West-Francisco Garcia
Best Player On A Team No One Cares About-East-Danny Granger/West-Kevin Martin
Surprise Team-East-Bucks or Knicks(yeah I said it)/West-Clippers
Team Most Likely To Make A Big Midseason Trade-Pistons and Spurs (and not with each other)
I may think of more...
