Boston should sign Brian Cardinal and trade for Brad Miller.

Yo SammyG I kept meaning to tell you this. There is this one girl in my math class who is pretty hot, but she looks just like Reymon14. It is so crazy. Like she is mad "sexy" but when I look at her face I can't help but laughing and stuff because of the resemblance. She even has a shaded upper lip to match his pre-pubescent mustache.

Kings putting together a nice squad on paper. They got John Solomons on draft day and traded Omri Casspi earlier today for JJ Hickson.

NBA will forgo the final couple of hours and start the lockout with the biggest issue being the owners requesting money back from the players and both sides are too far apart on money-related stuff to even consider rushing to meet the deadline.
Unlike the last time the NBA had a lockout, the owners are very divided with the biggest split being the hard cap vs soft cap/luxury tax, the idea of only big markets get Big Threes, and revenue sharing. Also unlike the NFLPA boss taking the symbolic $1 pay, the NBA's players union boss refused to reduce his $2 million per year to the symbolic range. He did mention that the players have to take cuts and save their money. |

1 year ago today, "The Decision" aired on ESPN. Ah, memories.
The talk this week seems to be players looking to Europe to play until the lookout is over. Deron Williams got a deal in place to go play in Turkey, Sonny Weems signed with a team in Lithuania. Reports are going around saying Yao Ming might be hanging up his sneakers after 9 season. Kinda sucks if it's true. The man had so much potential, but just kept getting hurt. |

Yao and Jay Williams. Number 1 and 2 draft picks. Both were supposed to change the game. Neither ever lived up due to injuries. Sad.

ESPN and a few other places believe it is going to take almost 2 months for the players and owners to even have a basis for the new CBA or a middle ground for money sharing to work with.
Right now the players are willing to give up the Summer leagues and a few other financial concessions while rejecting the owners pressuring the players to take a 17% cut in revenue sharing from 57% to 40%. Besides the huge cut, the owners are not guaranteeing that extra money would be spent on team spending or medical/retired pensions like with the NFL. The last offer by the players was to give up $700 million but the owners want $1 billion given up as a start. |

Kobe scored 45 points, including the game winner, at the Drew League earlier this week. Looks like Kobe is adding the Dirk Nowitzki one legged fadeaway to his repertoire |

NEW YORK -- Nets part-owner Jay-Z will open the team's new Brooklyn arena by performing there next September.
The hip-hop mogul said at a news conference Monday across the street from the construction site that he will perform "one, two, maybe three" times at the Barclays Center. Dates haven't been set. Jay-Z also made it official that the club will be called the Brooklyn Nets. The franchise is scheduled to move from New Jersey for the 2012-13 season. |

Quote:
If no deal is reached before mid-January, then it is almost impossible to have a 50-game season with playoffs occurring on time even if they crammed in the schedule. Also a lot of the blame is going on the superstar players for bolting during negotiations leaving a weaker union who doesn't want a hard cap because it affects them more than the star players. To be fair, every other major sport except NFL has other leagues the players can go if the season is stopped but in the NHL and MLB's case, the stars didn't leave until after the season was cancelled. |

Apparently there is a "big" meeting scheduled for this Friday, where several "superstar" players are set to attend. They said they will meet all weekend if they have to, so hopefully they iron something out.

Last attempt to meet one more time before Monday's deadline ends in a failure with the NBA preparing to start cancelling games now.
The owners seem to be at fault by putting a 50-50 share as the requirements for any meeting (down 7% from current 57% share). NBA Players Union said the demand came too late due to the time needed to discuss and vote on the stipulations before Sunday's planned meeting. |
