Alien spoted in Boston

Sam Cassell has reached the agreement with Boston Celtics and will join the Celts after buying out his contract from Clippers which should happen...today.

So in other words, signing a 38 yo playmaker is like saying "now or never" and it's kind of that way. Pierce, Allen, Garnett, Cassell. Any questions about this years champions?

Chandler has spoken

I highly recommend all of you taking a look on what Tyson Chandler wrote about Bobby Jackson's trade.

It's a piece of literature that brings us truth and honesty from a real friend that Chandler is to Bobby.

He describes this and all the other trades from player's point of view.

Read it here!

Don't get too excited...

Ben Wallace and Joe Smith go to Cleveland for Larry Hughes, Drew Gooden and Cedric Simmons.
Ok. First of all that trade sucks big for Cavs. Seriously. Ben Wallace? LeBron must be overjoied...
One question. WHY? Larry has improved MUCH lately and Drew was always good. How about Ben now? You don't wanna know my opinion, believe me. Joe Smith from the other hand is decent but a bit old (that's his 13th season).

That's not all. Cavs got also Wally Szczerbiak and Delonte West from Sonics for Donyell Marshall and Ira Newble.
Well, obviously that move is more clear to me than that first one.

Gerald Green goes to Houston for Kirk Snyder. It's ok. C class player for another C class player seems fair enough.

In another trade Raptors gave Juan Dixon to Detroit for Priomoz Brezec.

Still, can't believe that's it...

Today is the day

Deadline comes to an end later that day.

As expected some trade movement is happening.

Spurs just signed Kurt Thomas from Clippers for Francisco Elson, Brent Barry and a 2009 first-round pick instead of getting Ron Artest.

Hornets will sign Bonzi Wells and Mike James from Houston for Bobby Jackson. They really want to get the title.

Today everything may happen. Don't forget Cavs are desperate to sign someone. Maybe Andre Miller or Mike Miller?

We'll see.

Stay tuned!

What a night!

- CP3 spoiled Kidd's debut in Mavs. Got 31 points (17 in the 3rd, scored all 7 for 7) and almost got a tripple double stealing 9 balls! (7 in the first half). That would have been 1st tripple double of that kind since 1998 when Mookie Blaylock got one. On Kidd's defence he made his first assist in the first 10 seconds of the game.
Besides I have to second to what Craig Kwasniewski wrote:

"The NBA... where overrated trades happen..."

- Bryant and Gasol company caused a total eclipse of the Sun in Shaq's debut in Phoenix. They both scored 70.

- Lebron went for his 2nd consecutive tripple double! This guy is crazy!

- Celtics lost their second game after the All-Star Weekend break. Something bad happened because even with Garnett who's back again they can't win.

- Knicks got beaten by 40 in Philly. By 40! In other words one night they can win in OT regardless of what is happening on the bench (Randolph throwing a cap of water on Robinson) and the other night they just don't exist. Bravo mr. Thomas. You should consider that Indiana University offer as soon as possible to save the franchise.

- Stoudamire, Bosh, Howard, Billups, Calderon, Nowitzki, Granger, Redd and Artest also made outstanding performances and are worth being mentioned but they (at least some of them) always so so it's nothing unusual. Oh wait. Did I say ARTEST? Well yeah. Once in a year even a priest has a kickstand.

East finally shopping?

Apocalypse is coming, that's for sure.

Rumors say there's gonna be a three-way trade that would include Vince Carter going to New York Knicks, Eddy Curry to Miami and the expiring contracts of Jason Williams and Ricky Davis to New Jersey.

Finally something's gonna happen on the East.

When the transfer deadline comes closer...

- First of all Mavs finally got Kidd. Yeah! Let's cheer for the West dominating the East.

- Second of all Bulls are exploring their trade options with only 4 days left for any move. The most possible trade seems to be Ben Gordon who is coming back from his injury.

- Clippers are trying to get Mike Miller. Another outstanding idea for the Grizzlies' GM. First Gasol now Miller. Maybe he will also get rid of Rudy Gay? Why not. But the rumor say that it's possible for Sam Cassell and Aaron Williams to replace Mike Miller in Memphis.

- Cavs are trying to get at least on person. They have had talk about Mike Miller joining them. They're also aiming at Portland's Jarrett Jack and other point guard Kyle Lowry. But the main man on their transfer list after Bibby signing Hawks remains Andre Miller from Philadelphia.
