http://0rz.tw/4c3aC By J.A. Adande/ESPN.com After a year's worth of news crammed into the past four months -- none of it welcome unless you're a fan of the Boston Celtics or the agent for Rashard Lewis -- here are the 10 story lines that are most intriguing to me as we head into the 2007-08 season. You'll notice there's nothing about my pick for the 2008 NBA champion: the San Antonio Spurs. That's because they're so consistent. Consistent is the opposite of compelling and/or controversial. I'm pretty sure we'll see the Spurs in June. These other outcomes are far less certain, which makes them much more interesting… 5. Sheed's Deeds Last time we saw Rasheed Wallace in a game that mattered, he was in full meltdown mode, getting kicked out of Detroit's season-ending loss to Cleveland. That's been Wallace's undoing, his inability to put the big picture ahead of his momentary feelings of frustration. This time it's about stepping back to observe the overall view of his career. If he can get the Pistons another championship, this group matches the Bad Boys when ranking the eras in franchise history. And Wallace becomes one of the most accomplished power forwards of his time. Only Tim Duncan could say he had more rings. Among these Pistons, Chauncey Billups has come the closest to winning an MVP award, but this team rises and falls with Wallace. It's about his moods, his effort, his ability to keep his composure. When he has it going he can stretch defenses with his shooting, keep possessions alive with his rebounding and provide a last line of defense with his long arms and compensate for the loss of Ben Wallace. --
