Random News Shit: NBA Trade Deadline Edition

1) Wizards Land Nene
Damn, bad times for Nene, he re-signs with the Nuggets at the start of the season and they ship him off to the 3rd worse team in the league. That's fucked up.

The actual trade was a three-team that sent Nene, Brian Cook and a 2015 2nd round pick to the Wiz, JaVale McGee and Ronny Turiaf to the Nuggets, and Nick Young to the Clippers. This trade really makes no sense to me for any team but the Clippers. They get a nice young scorer in Nick Young and all they had to give up was Brian Cook and a 2nd-round pick IN 2015! Meanwhile, the Nuggets get the dumbest player in the league in JaVale McGee just 3 days after this hit the net (even though the person who made the video seems to be just as unsmart as JaVale) and Ronny Turiaf, and the Wiz got Nene (who's always hurt), Brian Cook, and a 2nd-round pick IN 2015!!!

2) Lakers Trade Derek Fisher, Trade For Lil Duval Ramon Sessions
First the Lakers acquire Lil Duval Ramon Sessions and Christian Eyenga for Jason Kapono, Luke Walton and their 2012 1st-round pick, then they shipped Derek Fisher's corpse and the 1st-rounder they got from Dallas to Houston for Jordan Hill. I guess this makes the Lakers better, but nobody could ride the bench quite like Luke Walton. In fact, they should put his old jersey and a towel where he sits in memoriam.

3) Warriors Trade Stephen Jackson To Spurs For Richard Jefferson
Well damn, part 2 of the Stephen Jackson era with Golden State didn't last long at all.

4) Blazers Trade Gerald Wallace To Nets For Mehmet Okur & Shawne Williams
Mehmet Okur is still in the league? I'm dead serious, I thought he retired.

Anyway, good job by the Nets getting Gerald Wallace for scraps, but I doubt it will help them retain Deron Williams.

5) Blazers Trade Marcus Camby To Rockets For Hasheem Thabeet & Jonny Flynn
Speaking of players I didn't know were still in the league, the Blazers just traded for Hasheem Thabeet? They weren't disappointed enough in Greg Oden, they needed to bring in another failed big man? What the fuck?

But there Blazers weren't done there....

6) Blazers Fire Nate McMillan, Waive Greg Oden
Four moves by the Blazers and only cutting Greg Oden made any sense. Then again, tanking and bottoming out is really the only way to get better in the NBA, so maybe this is a great idea. Nah, whoever they draft will have a fucked up future like Sam Bowie and Greg Oden before him.

Unbreaking News: Greg Oden Done For The Season...Again

All I have to say about this is the following: NIGGA RETIRE!

Seriously though, the man should at least consider it. He's been in the league since 2007 and has only played in 82 games. Plus, what signs are there that he will ever not be hurt?? Greg Oden has a better shot at winning "Dancing With The Stars" than he does of playing a complete NBA season. Just call it a career now, dude.

Random News Shit: Sports Recap 12/4-12/9

Okay, I've obviously been M.I.A. with my keyboard issues (not semen related issues either lol) so I'm gonna try something new in my recap of the big sports stories over the past 2 weeks. Lets give it a go:

December 4th

Nets Get Past Bobcats For First Win
Final score 97-91 as the Nets get 31 and 14 from Brook Lopez and 27 from Courtney Lee. Too bad this couldn't have happened prior to them setting the record for most losses to begin an NBA season. The good news is they now have 2 victories to hang their hat on and need just 8 more to not be dreadful 72-73 76ers. Only 56 more tries to go, good luck gentlemen.

December 5th

Pacquiao Signs Contract To Fight Mayweather, Agrees To 50-50 Split
Its all going down March 13th and I can't wait! I'm not even that into boxing, but this its obviously a match-up I'd pay to see. As of right now I have NO idea who would win. I recently watched the Mayweather-Hatton and saw a lot of areas Pacman could really exploit (not to mention it took him 2 rounds to do to Ricky Hatton what it took Mayweather 10). Then again, Pretty Boy Floyd is undefeated for a reason.

Its just gonna be a great event and I won't be surprised by the victor no matter the outcome.

(Side note: Cowboys Stadium WILL NOT host the fight, though owner Jerry Jones is still interested.)

Greg Oden Done For The Season Again
At this point its just sad. The guy didn't even get touched this time. Maybe a career in the NBA wasn't mean for him?? Whatever the case, the Blazers need to cut their losses now and let him go. Yeah, he's a pretty decent player, but you can't count on him to be around.

If the Blazers do release him (which they won't), Oden's best shot at actually have a career is going to Phoenix. I don't know what they do down there in the desert, but it clearly works. Grant Hill couldn't stay on the court for like 7 or 8 straight season, he goes down to Phoenix and plays all 82 games for the first time in his career last year. Shaq looked done down in Miami before going to Phoenix, and now he looks like he did in Miami up in Cleveland. Greg needs to get his ass in a Suns uniform if he plans on continuing a career in the NBA.

December 7th

Notre Dame's Jimmy Clausen Enter NFL Draft
I'm not sure what his draft prospects are at this point, but he'll probably be a first rounder with all the teams out there in need of a QB.

Also entering the draft from Notre Dame is WR Golden Tate, whose name said at the right speed sounds a lot like "golden taint." Probably not the best thing heading into the possibility of rookie hazing. And don't ask why I brought that up, I have no answers for you lol.

December 8th

Plaxico Burress Bid For Work Release Unlikely To Be Granted
Mna, I still feel so bad for Plax. Whenever I think about him, I think about my cousin and all the others in prison over foolishness. My uncle was just on work release and its not so bad, obviously anything is better than being in prison. Hopefully Plax can get on it soon.

Clinton Portis Places On IR
That's too bad for Clint, I sure wish he was suiting up this Monday to play the Giants because I sure need the Redskins to pull off that upset. I hope this isn't the end for him, he's still 28 so he should still have 2-3 years left in him, but these head injuries are just touchy. Best wishes to that man.

Ocho Cinco Fined $30,000 For Sombrero TD Celebration
I might shock some here, but I don't totally disagree with this fine. Hear me out: 1) it was pretty wack/lame/boring and 2) it was mildly racist. Look, I'm one of the least offendable (don't worry, I know its not a word lol) people in the world, but I could see how somebody could take this the wrong way.

(Side note: I had a decent joke about white NFL players and black face, but I'll keep it to myself for now lol.)

December 9th

Eagles Give Andy Reid 3-Year Extension
We still don't know exactly how much this deal is worth, but Reid will reportedly be making around $5-6 million a year. Good for him.

Yankees, Pettitte Agree To 1-Year $11.75 Million Deal
Good for him, good for the Yankees, but this next story is a MUCH bigger splash.

Yankees Steal Curtis Granderson In Trade
It was three-team deal, but the Yanks came out with the big prize in Granderson. Despite his batting average dropping each of the past 2 seasons, Granderson hit 30 homers last year and made his first All-Star team. I say good move!

Durant's 46 Leads Sophomore To 122-116 Victory

Kevin Durant hit a Rookie Challenge record 46 points as he lead his Sophomore team to a 122-116 win over the Rookies. That was obviously enough to earn K.D. MVP honors seeing that nobody else on his team scored any more than 13 lol. And why isn't he playing in Sunday's All-Star game again?? Michael Beasley lead the Rooks in scoring with 29.

The biggest loss of the night (beside's Dwyane Wade's suit) was Greg Oden who sat out because of yet another injury. This guy can't win lol.

Anyway, this is the Sophomore's 7th win in a row, but this is the most shocking win over the Rookies since the c/o '03 Rookies lost while being lead by LeBron, Wade, and 'Melo. I thought surely Derrick Rose, O.J. Mayo and the rest of the rookies would have what it took to win this game, but I guess not. Oh well, they'll win next year as Sophomore, and yes I'm predicting a blow out.

Rookie-Sophomore Challenge Line-Ups

Here are the teams for the Rook-Soph Challenge which is Feb. 13 at pm! Just looking at the line-ups, I think the rookies have a good chance to snap their 6 year losing streak lol.

Player (Team)	Position
Michael Beasley (Heat)	F
Rudy Fernandez (Trail Blazers)	G-F
Marc Gasol (Grizzlies)	C
Eric Gordon (Clippers)	G
Brook Lopez (Nets)	C
O.J. Mayo (Grizzlies)	G
Greg Oden (Trail Blazers)	C
Derrick Rose (Bulls)	G
Russell Westbrook (Thunder)	G

I feel bad for Greg Oden because he has to play with the c/o 08 instead of his c/o 07...in which he was the 1st player picked! lol. Sophomore team after the jump.

Player (Team)	Position
Aaron Brooks (Rockets)	G
Wilson Chandler (Knicks)	F
Kevin Durant (Thunder)	G-F
Jeff Green (Thunder)	F
Al Horford (Hawks)	F-C
Luis Scola (Rockets)	F-C
Al Thornton (Clippers)	F
Rodney Stuckey (Pistons)	G
Thaddeus Young (Sixers)	F

Should be a good game.

Random News Shit: NBA Headlines Edition

Here's some of your top headlines from Friday hoops.

1) Iverson, Pistons give Lakers their first loss
Final score: Pistons 106, Lakers 95. Kobe hit 29, but it wasn't enough as both A.I. and Rashad bust 25. Welp, like Iverson said after the game, we knew they weren't going 82-0 lol.

2) Billups, Nuggets give Celtics first home loss of the season
I watched this game after the Heat game got out of hand and the C's really weren't fuckin' with Denver at all. The Nuggets look like a new team without Iverson and Camby. If they keep playing like this they might actually get out of the first round this year.

3) Nets hand Hawks their second straight loss
After winning their first 6, they just dropped their 2nd straight. I hope these niggas don't turn out to be frauds.

4) Greg Oden record his first career double-double
He's progressing along just fine. He had 11 point, 11 boards, and 4 blocks in 24 minutes off the bench. AND he didn't get hurt lol.

5) Shaq leads Suns in points, rebounds, and assist in OT win over Kings
Did he have a flashback to 2000?? With Steve Nash serving his one game suspension for his involvement in Wednesday's shoving match and Barbosa gone because of the passing of his mother, the Diesel finished with 29, 13, and 6. On top of that, Grant Hill must've had a flashback to '96 because he finished with 22, 9, 4, and 4 steals.

Random News Shit: NBA Headlines Edition

1) Greg Oden plays...and doesn't get hurt!
Yes, I'm as shocked as you! He played about 16 minutes and had 3 points which isn't bad since he did leave the floor on his own power and without a limp lol. Hey, I tell ya what, the Blazers have a fuckin' squad! Their bench goes deep! And on the other hand, the Heat need some size ASAP. I noticed it a couple of weeks ago, but it really showed against the Blazers and all their big men. If it wasn't for D-Wade and his 4th straight 30-point game, the Heat would've gotten blown out!

2) Hawks get their first loss; Lakers remain perfect; Wiz get their first win
Even with the loss, who would've thought the Atlanta Hawks would be 6-1 after 7 games this year?? Looks like all those early first round draft picks are finally paying dividends...or will they end up like the '07 Detroit Lions??

Nobody is fuckin' with the Lakers right now.

What is going on with the Wizards?? Even without Gilbert Arenas last year they were able to make the playoffs, now they look like shit. And how do the Jazz, with Deron Williams back, lose to the formerly winless Wizards??

3) Shaq passes Havlicek for 10th all-time in points
Barring any type of freak injury, Shaq should be able to reach at least #7 all-time by the end of this season seeing he's only 544 points behind Hakeem Olajuwon at #7.

4) Dwight Howard records his first career triple-double
30 points, 19 boards and 10 blocks! That's a man's stat line right there!

Greg Oden Re-Debuts Tonight??

Greg Oden says he's ready to his second first impression tonight on ESPN against D-Wade and the Heat. As you know, Oden hurt his foot in the first game of his career after missing the entire 07-08 NBA season. I'm wishing Oden luck, but I honestly think the Blazers are moving on and just gonna get used to playing without him seeing that he can go down again with a whole new injury at any moment.

Plus, with the Mavs, Spurs, Warriors slumping big time the Blazers are probably gonna make the playoffs regardless.

Surprise! Greg Oden Hurt...Again!

Damn, maybe it just wasn't meant to be. After leading Ohio State to the national championship game with a hurt wrist, getting drafted with the #1 pick then missing the entire season last year with a non-playing knee injury, and spraining his ankle in the preseason, Mr. Oden is hurt...once again. He played 13 minutes in his debut verses the Lakers before leaving with, what is being called, a sprained mid-foot. Sad, very sad.

You know the craziest part of his injury-plagued young career?? These are totally different injuries! Its not like he keeps hurting the same foot or same wrist, no, these shits are all over. I'm not sure how much of a career he's gonna have now, but he's starting to look a little Sam Bowie-ish right now. Well, depending on how Kevin Durant turns out. How ironic is it that he was picked by the Blazers too?? Maybe they have one of those curses that keep the Cubs from winning lol.

SOURCE

**UPDATE**

This foot injury will keep Greg Oden out for 2-4 weeks. We'll revisit this convo then...if he can stay on the court lol.
