Random News Shit: NBA Headlines Edition

DENVER, CO - JANUARY 21:  Carmelo Anthony #15 of the Denver Nuggets looks on during a break in the action against the Los Angeles Lakers at the Pepsi Center on January 21, 2011 in Denver, Colorado. The Lakers defeated the Nuggets 107-97.
1) Three Team Deal For Carmelo Discussed
The 3-teamer that would land Melo in New York is the Knicks sending Anthony Randolph and Eddy Curry to Minnesota, Minnesota sending Corey Brewer and a first-round pick to Denver, and Denver receiving Wilson Chandler from New York. Whatever, can we just finally get this nigga traded? I am so tired of hearing about this shit. It's the odds on favorite for Lamest Sports Story of 2011 and we're only 1 month and a few days in.

2) Cavs Drop 24th Straight Game; Make History
With their loss to the Blazers last night, the Cavaliers broke the NBA record for consecutive losses in a single season, breaking the 97-98 Nuggets record of 23. Next up on the schedule: the Dallas Mavericks.

I'm not gonna lie, I do feel kinda bad for the Cavs, but I still have no sympathy for the city of Cleveland or its fans. Either way, the Cavs falling like a rock are more reason LeBron should win MVP again than anything he's doing on the court right now.

3) LeBron & Randolph Win Player Of The Month For January
LeBron averaged 30.6 points, 8.4 rebounds, 7.4 assists, and 1.75 steals per game last month, and Zach Randolph averaged 22.4 points and 14.2 rebounds per game. Randolph also lead the Grizzlies to 11 wins in January and set a franchise record with a career-high 14 consecutive double-doubles.

This is LeBron James' 2nd Player of The Month award this season, but for some reason there's 2 or 3 guys who get mentioned before him in the MVP race. Not sure how that works, but okay.
