Which teams benefited the most from the recent signing frenzy?
10. Kidd to Mavericks – This trade fell through, would still have been a great move for the Mavs.
9. Kidd to Mavericks – This trade worked after about a week, is taking longer than that for it to work for the Mavs. Dirk Nowitzki gets the ball in the right place.

But come on. The Knicks?
Happened to catch the Sports Center Highlights of the 50 point barrage.

Tracy McGrady playing consistently good?
Houston even trades two players away, do not suit up the guy they get and still keep winning!
How can this be?
Well, admittedly, most of the teams they beat were pretty bad teams, but they did just knock off Chris Paul and the Hornets (sounds like a 60’s rock group) and there were a couple of close scrapes with the Cleveland PreWallace LeBrons led by …read more
