Random News Shit: NBA Free Agency Edition Pt. 6

1) Haslem Returns To Heat; Miller Joins Him

Welp so much for the question "how are the Heat going to find players to fill out their roster?" Not only did they retain Udonis Haslem, but he's bringing his old roommate from UF, Mike Miller, along for the ride. Sweet!

UD turned down more lucrative deals with Denver and Dallas to stay home in Miami, so the man should be applauded. Unlike LeBron James, UD is actually FROM the city he plays for, not miles and miles away.

2) Heat Add Zydrunas Ilgauskas

This time last week the Heat only had 2 players on their roster (Chalmers and Beasley), now they're up to 7 as the 7'3" Lithuanian (and former LeBron teammate) agrees to join the show. Finally Miami adds big body to the mix, and they'll probably need 1 or 2 more. I'm not shocked they picked him over Shaq considering the way Shaq bashed the club after he was traded in 2008.

No word on if Dan Gilbert as completed his angry open letter to Zydrunas.

3) Jazz Acquire Al Jefferson In Trade
The Jazz get Al Jefferson, the Wolves get 2 future first round picks. Great, now we can get reports about Jefferson's 2011 season-ending inury out of Utah instead of Minnesota.

4) Bobcats Trade Tyson Chandler To Mavs

This comes after backing out of the 3-team deal that would've sent Chandler to the Raptors Monday. Good for the Bobcats...though I still wish they would've swung a shocker and sent him to the Wolves to continue building the Minnesota Unachievers.

5) Magic Sign Quentin Richardson

Good for Q. He revitalized in Miami last season, and now he's moving on. I guess shooting wide open 3's isn't his thing.

6) Kobe To Meet With Raja Bell About Joining Lakers
Well this is fine as long as Kobe knows the Heat could have him if they want him. Seems like the Heat and Lakers are in an arms race, right??

7) Nets Acquire Anthony Morrow In A Sign-and-Trade
The Nets will continue to suck well into the 2011 season, but they now have their hands on one of the hottest up and coming shooters the league has to offer. I would've loved to have him in Miami.

The deal is for three-years and worth $12 million.

Random News Shit: NBA Edition

1) Kevin Garnett Scrimmages, Ready For Training Camp
He's just playing 5-on-5's right now, but the way it was seeming last year I didn't know if he'd even be ready for the beginning of the season. Well not it looks like he is and now he's just trying to get his timing back. We'll see if that bad knee can hold up for 82 games. I have my doubts.

2) NBA Tells Teams League Will Use Replacement Refs
This is the big story nobody is really talking about. You thought the calls refereeing was bad before, well wait until we get a load of these replacement refs. Who knows though, maybe these guys are an improvement over the old refs. I doubt it though and I also don't see any way this goes good.

3) Delonte West Still A No Show For The Cavs
Okay, so he didn't show up for the first day yesterday, and Delonte continued that trend today. This guy is fuckin' crazy! They better put this nigga on suicide watch, we already know he deals with depression and now nobody has seen him as the season approaches. We'll see, but I wouldn't be surprised.

4) McGrady's Rehab Is Ahead Of Schedule
Not sure how much it matters at this point because the Rockets aren't going anywhere this year with Yao out. I feel bad for Tracy because he used to be that nigga, but now he's probably one more injury away from retirement.

5) Al Jefferson Shows Up To Camp 31 Pounds Lighter
He says he lost the weight on the Jared diet by eating only 2 foot long Subway subs a day. He better go pick up his check or call one of these ESPN shows so he can be on the Subway Fresh Take Hotline because he's giving them too much free promotion right now.

Random News Shit

1) Porn Star for Senate??
At work they always keep the TVs on CNN so while me and my homegirl were discussing why I gave this other broad at my job that's been trying to fuck me a 2 on a scale from 1-10 (and a 3 at the absolute highest!), this story caught my eye. The chick is named Stormy Daniels and as a frequent porn watcher, I can say I never heard of her in my life... then again I don't really watch white porn lol. Nothing against white people and their porn, but umm not for me lol.

Anyway, its kinda weird, but not that bad of an idea actually. If she gets in and we put her at the head of the foreign relations committee (no pun intended), we might actually be able to get some shit done. All her camp has to do is get a few female voters because I'm sure she'll have a 99 to 1 with males lol.

2) Nas Confirms New Album
That didn't take long, but this new album will allegedly be with Damian Marley so says Nas. I'm open to that idea. Welp we'll see.

3) Al Jefferson Out For Season With Torn ACL
Its a good thing the T-Wolves suck or this would be a really big deal lol.

3) Barkley back on TV after All-Star Game
Well that's good but I actually kinda hope Gary Payton and Chris Webber stay around too. They are just as entertaining as Chuck and TNT's NBA broadcast hasn't really missed a step.
