I am sick and tired of the Dwight Howard SAGA! Don’t get me wrong, he is the best center in the NBA. He can score, rebound, and block shots and is tall, strong, and very athletic. But, he has one skill in which needs a lot of improvement and it has nothing do with basketball; he has extremely poor public relation skills! Basically on several occasions both privately and publicly, he told his boss and new boss, “I want to be traded to the Brooklyn Nets.” Really? What else? Nothing? Okay, we will contact the Nets and get it done. If it were really that easy, a lot of players would make this same demand, but it isn’t. It is actually very complicated and there are many factors to be involved and discussed and some players actually have to agree to everything since they have a no trade clause in their contracts.
Every day, there is a new rumor involving Dwight Howard. Did you hear the latest rumor? No! Really, where the hell have you been? I will tell you, but I won’t reveal my source!!! Dwight Howard to Fisher-Price and the Orlando Magic will receive a 15% share of Fisher-Price, exclusive naming rights on the next big toy from Fisher-Price, and a wooden Dwight Howard doll that complains for each of Howard’s twitter followers. That is awesome and I hope the Magic say “abracadabra!”
San Antonio Spurs
Tim Duncan, Patty Mills, Danny Green, and Boris Diaw opted to stay with the San Antonio Spurs. In addition, the Spurs added a dude from France named Nando to the team. I will have to watch some YouTube videos of Nando since I truly know nothing about him. I watched a few clips of Nando and he kinda looks and plays like Manu!!! Nando and Manu sounds really funny together; like a tongue-twister!!!!
I am really glad Timmy didn’t make the decision to retire. When he does retire, the Spurs may have some rough rebuilding years. Man, I don’t even want to imagine that! I had enough losing seasons in the 80’s and early 90’s.
We are bringing everyone back from last year’s team that lost to the Thunder in the Western Conference Finals. I know the Spurs will be competitive, but I don’t think it will be enough to be able to compete for a championship against the Bulls, Heat, Celtics, Lakers, and Thunder.
The Bulls will have a healthy Derrick Rose, the Heat added veterans Ray Allen and Rashard Lewis, the Lakers added Steve Nash, and the Thunder have a young and very talented big 3 in Durant, Westbrook, and Harden who are hungry for a championship.
I really hope that Spurs management has some more pieces to add that will put us over the top and bring our city a 5th championship.
Boston Celtics
Even though they lost Ray Allen to the Miami Heat, the Celtics are a team that I feel could make a championship run next season. They re-signed Kevin Garnett and signed Jason Terry as a free agent. In addition, they have some talented rookies in Fab Melo and Jared Sullinger. I didn’t even mention they still have Rajon Rando and Paul Pierce. Wow!!
Dallas Mavericks
The Mavericks are need of a point guard. Sign me please!!! They couldn’t re-sign Jason Kidd; he went to the Knicks. They couldn’t lure Steve Nash and Deron Williams; Nash went to the Lakers and Deron re-signed with the Nets. Cuban must be really pissed off!
Brooklyn Nets
Joe Johnson of the Atlanta Hawks was traded to the Nets and Deron Williams chose to re-sign with the Nets. Dude, what the hell were the Nets smoking when they acquired Joe Johnson? Joe is a scoring machine, but is overpriced big time. Deron was a no brainer; he is one of the top 5 point guards in the NBA. Maybe the organization thinks that Deron, Joe, and a man named Brook (they also have a man named Kris) can become a big 3 and compete with the Thunder, Heat, Celtics, Spurs, and Lakers!! “Ha Ha” as Nelson from The Simpsons would say!!!
This season, the Nets are moving from New Jersey to Brooklyn with a brand new logo and an arena. They have a Russian billionaire owner (Jay Z is a partial owner). So, who would you want to be for the face of the franchise? My answer is Deron Williams!!! Great choice Deron to stay with team.
I am wearing my Brooklyn Nets t-shirt as I write all this! Hey, they have a cool logo and it says Brooklyn Nets on it.
Conspiracy
I think it was a conspiracy that the New Orleans got the number 1 draft pick. The NBA owned the team and I bet there was a conversation (most likely on a disposable cell phone) from the Tom Benson camp that went something like this, “I will buy the team if you can guarantee the Hornets getting the number 1 pick.” Really? What else? Nothing? Okay, we will rig it to ensure New Orleans gets the number 1 pick.
