Some NBA....and a little A-Rod

To get this out of the way...
  • I don't believe A-Rod...you can believe what you want...seems concocted and absurd to me....that is all...I refuse to add to the circus
To the association...
  • A semi-big trade....Tyson Chandler to the Team who shall not be named in exchange for Chris Wilcox and Joe Smith (and their expiring deals)...and the rights to DeVon Hardin...Simple cost-cutting move by New Orleans....good luck selling that to Chris Paul who likely will be (and should be) furious by this move.....A steal for Durant's team who quietly have an outstanding core of Durant, Westbrook, Green, and Chandler....and if they win the lottery and get Blake Griffin? Umm....that's absolutely scary
  • There were some absurd stat-lines last night.....and the first? Dwight Howard putting up 45 points, 19 boards, and 8 blocks....career high in points...and just absolutely working over the guy picked after him in Emeka Okafor...one of the more impressive performances of the season by anyone....
  • Now for the obligatory Kevin Durant mention....another ho-hum 47 point effort from the most offensively advanced 20-year-old in the history of the world....just thought you should know
  • Alvin Gentry in as the Head coach in Phoenix (for now)....and he decided to send a message....the Suns put up 140 last night...yes 140....they ran ALL night....and they did it with only 8 points from Steve Nash and without Jason Richardson....that's sending a message if I've ever seen it.....but if you don't blame the Clippers for that....you're out of your mind
  • Mike Leach...on the hot seat? Let me get this straight....guy turns down a contract that is CLEARLY repressive and absurd....and now may get fired because he doesn't want to basically hand over his livelihood? Umm....I'd quit first....he'll get another job
  • Nate McLouth gets a 3 year deal from the Pirates....only a little under 6 million a year for this guy is a steal....he's the one bright spot from an otherwise ungodly mess of a franchise at this point....I would've gotten out....
That's it for now....and you may be expecting me to throw out a bunch of crazy NBA rumors that you may have seen elsewhere...I won't....because I have absolutely no idea....but I, for one, am hoping this is a crazy deadline week....Enjoy
