How Big is Too Big?

10 Oct

On Tuesday Utah Jazz guard, Mo Williams, tweeted a photo of fellow teammate Al Jefferson’s bed. Normally this wouldn’t be a story but Jefferson’s bed is 10 by 12 feet. Considering that the average queen bed in America is 5 by 6 feet, you can see why Jefferson’s bed is so special. But of course us average people are not NBA players who definitely need more space. Than again Jefferson is only 6-10 and 289 pounds. This leads me to wonder what Yao Ming’s bed is like seeing as how he’s 7-6.

I guess Jefferson needs the extra space for something . . . any guesses?

Trade Talks: So Where is Everyone Going?

14 Jul

It’s been a crazy trading season, like usual, so I have decided to give you an easy rundown on what is happening. Here is your trade cheat sheet.

Boston Celtics

Ray Allen bid farewell to the team in order to warm the bench in South Beach with the Miami Heat. Or as some fans refer to Allen he sold his soul to the devil. But don’t worry the Celtics have managed to hold on to big man Kevin Garnett. I know what you are thinking but Garnett is like 36 but don’t forget he can still do fist push-ups so he’s good for at least another season. The Celtics also managed to hold onto Brandon Bass, Chris Wilcox and Jeff Green. Although Green has been out to due heart surgery he may just be the it scoring factor the Celtics need.

They are still in the process of acquiring Jason Terry from the Dallas Mavericks but the paperwork should be done by the end of the week.  So don’t worry they will be fine without Allen.

The Miami Heat

Obviously the Heat are in a great position. They are coming off their championship win and they have all three major players still in place: LeBron James, Dwayne Wade, and Chris Bosh. Now they just have to hope no one gets injured. They are now just padding their bench with veteran players. Allen is the perfect example of this. Joining Allen they added Washington Wizard Rashard Lewis. Both were former Seattle Supersonic players back in the day.

One thing is clear the Heat are looking for another championship win next year.

Los Angeles Lakers

The Lakers obviously need to replace point guard Ramon Sessions since he didn’t intend to return. And aside from that the after being knocked out of the second round of the Playoffs it was obvious something needed to change. So the Lakers brought in veteran Phoenix Sun point guard Steve Nash. We can only hope he is more comfortable on the court than he looked at the ESPY awards the other night. The Lakers also managed to hold onto Devin Ebanks for another year.

Now the question is will the Lakers end up with Dwight Howard? Up until today it was looking like the Houston Rockets were going to get Howard but now the Lakers seem to be back in the mix. There is nothing official about what the deal would look like. Everyone has speculated that Andrew Bynum would be exiting as part of the deal. As a Laker fan I would gladly take Howard over Bynum even if it’s only for a year.

Lamar Odom a Clipper Again?

28 Jun

Lamar Odom is reportedly moving back to Los Angeles just this time to the Los Angeles Clippers. I was kind of hoping he would be a Laker again but alas that never going to happen. So the trade looks like this: Clipper Mo Williams would go to the Utah Jazz and Dallas Maverick Odom would go to the Clippers. I think this is a really good deal for the Clippers. Odom will be joining a strong team with Chris Paul and Blake Griffin.

Plus he can move back into Kardashian land.
