1) Artest Officially A Laker
Welp, there's that #37 jersey we were promised. I hope he's working on a Michael Michael part 2 or a remix or something because I need another good laugh.
2) Four Team Trade Lands Marion In Dallas
The trade is very complicated but basically the Griz and the Magic jumped in to help the Raptors and Mavs complete this deal. Should be interesting.
Anyway, Bill Simmons put his thoughts on the trade on Twitter: "This year's Mavs are like great seats at a 50 Cent concert. You'll see them and think, 'Shit, it's too bad this isn't 2004.'"
Classic! LMAO!
3) Cavs Re-sign Varejão For $50M
What?? Are we sure the Cavs are really trying to win a championship?? Why sign a role player who proved to be absolutely USELESS in the playoffs for $50 MILLION?? Eight points and seven rebounds for $50 MILLION with the cap going down?? He's gonna be making more than Ron Artest lol. Insane!
More classic Simmons: "Statement from Cavs: 'Look, any time you can lock up a role player for $42.5m + incentives with the cap going backwards, you have to do it.'"
4) McDyess Set To Sign With Spurs
Three year deal for $15 million. Nice move, look out for the Spurs to make one final push at a ring this year.
