New Rumors Surrounding LeBron/Wade & Bosh

 It has recently been reported that LeBron, Dwayne and Chris Bosh have engaged in conversation discussing how all three could fit under the Miami NBA club’s salary cap. How could all three play together you ask?  According to a source I read in Sun-Sentinel they all have agreed to split it up by unloading the $4.96 million 2010-11 salary on the contract of forward Michael Beasley, as well as potentially minimizing the cap hit of the buyout of forward James Jones, the Heat would be on the cusp of being able to extend maximum offers to Wade, James and Bosh. I also read that they are able to pull off a trade for Bosh by being accommodated in such a scenario by the Heat either sending Beasley to the Raptors or including him in a multiple-team trade that involves Toronto. The Heat also could send draft picks to Toronto, including the Raptors’ future first-round pick the Heat currently holds, as a means of Bosh receiving his maximum contract length. At the same time it has been reported that Bosh/LeBron may join the Bulls as well the Chicago Bulls continuing to rank as a highly appealing destination and a return to Cleveland still figuring prominently in his thinking and with the Dallas Mavericks looming as an intriguing outsider. In that scenario, sources said, James and Bosh would join Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah in Chicago, while Wade would hope to be joined in Miami by close friend Carlos Boozer, who was not at the meeting. July 8,2010 is 8 days away and we shall see what happens

Repeat For The Lakers

  The Lakers hold on to their title after defeating the Boston Celtics in game 7 (83-79).Kobe Bryant received the Finals MVP for averaging more than 28 points per game and leading the Lakers to their repeat. I must say it was not an easy task for the Lakers. Los Angeles Lakers had to rally from deficit after Boston led for almost 3.5 quarters. At halfway to fourth quarter, Lakers begun the rally led by Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol. Ron Artest also supported the Lakers by scoring 20 points and a crucial three-pointers when Boston cut their lead to three. Boston played without their starting center, Kendrick Perkins, who suffered sprained knee in game 6. Kobe stated that this championship is the sweetest thus far and now their is a debate whether Kobe is the best Laker ever. Phil Jackson also won his 11th rings, six with Michael Jordan’s Chicago Bulls and five with the Los Angeles Lakers. It could be his last rings as he is not sure if he will return next season. Also in the arena is Los Angeles Lakers owner Jerry Buss. Magic Johnson handed the Larry O’Brien trophy to the champions. The Lakers are looking to do it again next year......We shall see.

Perkins Out For Game 7

Just imagint the  most important game in the NBA and what you fight for during the whole season and you are unable to play. Well Kendrick Perkins told reporters at Wednesday's media session that he tore two ligaments in his right knee in Tuesday's NBA Finals Game 6 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers and will be sidelined for Thursday's decisive Game 7. He will undergo an MRI on Friday to further assess the damage. This happen in game 6 when he landed awkwardly trying to haul in an offensive rebound midway through the first quarter and suffered what was originally diagnosed as a knee sprain. I must say that he may still play in my opinion because it's not like this opportunity will present itself again. Andrew Bynum is playing and he is not 100 percent, but he has the mind set that he may not duplicate this process next year. Game 7 is set for tomorrow and it's do or die for both teams and this is what you play for and what you train for so we shall see if Perkins is able to play partially tomorrow.

Big Ben Apologizes!!!!

 Ever since Ben has been accused by a student who stated student he sexually assaualted her in a nightclub bathroom on March 5, Roethlisberger told Pittsburgh TV stations KDKA and WTAE that he expects to be booed this season .He has apologized extensively for his actions and promised to become the role model he should have been throughout his career. For the first time, Roethlisberger said that living a role rather than living a life may have affected him on the field, too. The Steelers went 9-7 and missed the playoffs last season, one season after winning the Super Bowl. He stated that that he got caught up being Big Ben the whole time and he lost track of who Ben Roethlisberger was. The question is how he would be perceived when the NFL season kicks off and the question remains should the fans forgive and forget or give him a hard time every time he steps on the field.

Strasburg Debut Is Tonight

Stephen Strasburg is set to make his Washington Nationals debut tonight. Tickets are selling like hot cakes and everybody is anticipating what kind of pitching frenzy he is going to put on tonight. Why is their so much anticipation you ask? It was almost cruel to watch Strasburg overwhelm hitters in Double-A and Triple-A. His combined stats: 7-2 with a 1.30 ERA with 65 strikeouts and only 13 walks in 55 1/3 innings.  He also eclipses the 100 mph mark with his fastball and makes hitters cringe with his curve and it will definitely be interesting if he can live up to all the hype cause we are looking at a star in the making.

Lakers/Celtics Who Will Win?

  Ladies and gentlemen it is set in stone and we have the rivalry between the Celtics and the Lakers. The long time rivals seems excited to face each other after the 2008 match-up which the Celtics won 4-2. Kobe Bryant still remembers the day that the confetti was aired from the ceiling as he walked away is disappointment. He definitely is excited about the match-up and is looking forward to revenge this year. On the other hand the Celtics is looking to claim what is rightfully theirs and that is another championship. The defending champion Lakers are making their third straight finals appearance, their best run since they won three in a row from 2000-02. Bryant was the sidekick to Shaquille O'Neal on those teams, but the '08 finals was his first chance to win one alone which he was unable to acheived. The Lakers and the Celtics, the league's most storied franchises, renew their rivalry in the NBA finals for the 12th time from Thursday. The Lakers will host the first two games before the series shifts to Boston for the next three, if necessary. Both teams will be well-rested — the Celtics clinched their 21st trip to the finals by finishing off Orlando on Friday, while the Lakers are making their league-best 31st appearance after wrapping up their series against Phoenix in six games last Saturday. I definitely believe that the Celtics will defeat the Lakers in 6 because defense wins games and after what I saw against the Magic and how D. Howard was shut down I know for a fact they can duplicate the process against the Lakers.
