The trade rumor mill is cranked up and some of them are just outstanding. The silly part is they may all come true, because while you are still harping on the Pistons for trading All Star Chauncey Billups for AI, GM Joe D only took him for a free tryout, increased attendance, and a salary of 22 mill that comes off the books. In other words, you don’t know why a team trades for a player.
This rumor you have to love just for the shear unbelievableness. …read more

Vince Carter got into it with a Ref and supposedly bumped him. The Ref called him Boy and the league had a long talk with both of them.

Jason Kidd looking to pass for someone else
Contemplate Jason Kidd as a Maverick.
Hmm, no D required. Actually, very little point guard play required.
No, does not seem to fit.
Contemplate Jason Kidd as a Nugget.
Hmm, pretty much the same thing.
So this brings to question why the Nets want to get rid of Jason Kidd.
Schwartz, in exploring current options for his client with other NBA teams, has been told that with Vince Carter signing a new four-year $61.8 million contract and Richard Jefferson having three years and $42 million left on …read more
