It has been quite a bit, since I’ve updated anything. But what perfect timing of when I have the opportunity to come back and give a little bit on the draft. Every year, days leading up to the draft, draft days and the days after, often gives us a look at what direction a ball club is headed. For the Cavs, they sent the NBA rocking, with the first real interesting trade. They got Shaq for an aging and limited Ben Wallace, Sasha Pavlovic, a second round pick in 2010 and $500,000. Though Shaq has aged quite a bit and [...]

So as an avid fan of basketball itself, I was scouring the old fashioned newpaper and the internet and I came across something really interesting. In the wake of Orlando ruining a Lebron-Kobe finale, a scandal has come across another NBA player.  So we shouldn’t fret or lose much sleep over it, cause really any scandal a professional male athlete has, it really gets swept under the rug, a guideline for the next time the same or similar situation arises.

So with the lottery all set and done, the Warriors failed to move in the draft. The Clippers got the lucky draw and will pick first in this year’s draft. Sources say that they will take Blake Griffin as the Number 1 pick. I’ve read somewhere that new GM Riley wants to take a look at guys that have played four years of college ball first. Well that sounds encouraging, but is there a 4 year college guy that will fill our need? I’m not too sure. With the number 7 seed, it is unlikely that Ricky Rubio from Spain [...]
