NBA Round Up 9-11-08

Boston Celtics - After giving Doc, well let me say, after Doc earned an extension with the Celtics he's got to watch his back. Word is that Sam Cassell is going to play with the Celtics one more year and then go to the bench (coach) for the Celtics. No, Doc doesn't have to worry about his job, but it will definitely be interesting to see which of these two get the most technical fouls as coaches. Both are animated and both were good point guards in their heyday. It'll be good for Cassell to finally give up playing basketball professionally.

New Jersey Nets - Another player to Europe? VC has been quoted as saying that he may end his basketball playing career overseas, after his contract is up with the Nets in 2011 (one year after LeBron gets there?). Hey, I guess I can understand. If he doesn't win a title by 2011 and he'll be around 35, might as well make some loot overseas and see the world doing it. Maybe he can find Frederic Weis and they can reenact this photo?

Charlotte Bobcats - Maybe there is a spring of healing somewhere? Finally we'll get a chance to see the Bobcats front line of the future (from the 2005 and 2006 drafts). Adam Morrison and Sean May, who have both played Operation more than they have played basketball since being drafted, have been given clean bills of health and look forward to producing for the Bobcats this season.

New York Knicks - After being acquired by the New York Knicks, Patrick Ewing Jr. thought about donning his father's old #33. Somebody has obviously spoken to him about that or he thought better of it and he has decided on wearing #6 this year. So for all of you Ewing fans, go out and get your #6 New York Knicks jerseys now before they all run out. I wonder if any have been made yet?
