New York Knicks and Memphis Grizzlies - You heard it here first,...well maybe you did and maybe you didn't but I talked about it. The trade to send Zach Randolph to the Grizzlies for Darko Milicic and Marko Jaric is on hold due to one minor detail, a first round draft pick to the Grizzlies. The Knicks aren't sure if they want to do that and the Grizzlies are just waiting for the opportunity to make this happen. If this is Walsh's best chance to get LeBron in 2010, then I think that you go for it. Hey, at least you can't do any worse than Isiah Thomas did. Come on Walsh, let's make this deal. At least you'll still have Curry who won't run up and down the floor, but hey, we'll deal with that later.
Los Angeles Lakers - Another one from the annals. I guess with his knee finally 100% healthy, Andrew Bynum wants to get paid!! The Lakers need that physical presence in the paint and it'll allow Pau Gasol to do what he does best, be soft, I mean play a little bit further away from the paint. Nevertheless, it seems as though Bynum wants something close to $80M over 5 years. They say you can't teach height, but I guess if you could, we'd all be rich.
Golden State Warriors - Still investigating just how Monta Ellis hurt his ankle, now the Warriors are turning to players who are healthy, well for the most part, just a little round. Marcus Williams is hitting the treadmill and the court to get ready for the season and the uptempo pace that the Warriors will be running. He says he's in the best shape of his career. From one pudgy guy (me) to another (Marcus Williams),...round is a shape. Good luck with the basketball thing.
Detroit Pistons - Joe Dumars upped the ante earlier this off season saying that he is going to provide a big shake up for his team. Joe has normally been a man of his word but we haven't seen anything yet. Detroit will be opening the season with only 14 players under contract, meaning Joe D might still have a card up his sleeve.
Miami Heat - The Heat have solved their point guard issues for the year and have an offer on the table for Chris Quinn. Please hold all laughter. They have two separate deals on the table for Quinn, a one year qualifying offer and a two year offer. Quinn is weighing his options and looking for other teams for more money (which the Heat have the opportunity to match). Maybe it's me, but shouldn't Chris Quinn be in Miami signing this deal if it's in fact true? I'm not sure too many other teams are out there waiting to give him a big pay day. But hey, I guess there's always an overseas team.
