The NBA Trade Shake Down


Man, where do we start? Its been so much movement and drama  with the NBA this week, it puts the soap opera t.v. lineups to shame! I'll began with the team that was the biggest bust in NBA history as far as I'm concerned, the Miami Heat. The Heat killed two birds with one stone in picking up Shane Battier! With him they get a really good defender and a player who can knock down the open shot from different spots on the floor. The Knicks got their share of  Christmas by picking up Tyson Chandler from the reigning champion, Dallas Mavericks. That immediately gives them defensive credibility that they definitely needed,  as well as his ability to finish at the rim. One pick-up that hasn't quite materialized yet but is very likely, is Rip Hamilton to Chicago. Can you say CONTENDER? The Bulls didn't need much, just some knock down shooters  and another playmaker who can demand some attention on the perimeter.....Rip is that plus championship experience.  As for the CP3 deal, Lakers fans shouldn't lose hope quite so fast because the deal has been slightly altered and resubmitted. Laker nation, keep your fingers crossed! There are some big names yet to settle into a new home such as, Dwight Howard, David West, Chauncey Billups and more. Stay tuned!!!!
