Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks got traded for Jermaine O'Neal and Jamario Moon. I think this is a good trade for both sides. The O'Neal-Bosh experiment didn't work, and with the emergence of Bargiani they could afford to get rid of O'Neal. Marion gives Toronto a solid SF, and with Calderon throwing passes around he should see a small increase in scoring, even if not by much.

For the Heat, O'Neal gives them a much needed low post presence... if he can manage to stay healthy. It's a risky move, but the reward could be huge. Moon is a nice defender and will probably be the starter, but there is some competition there with Cook and James Jones around, and the Heat will try to find minutes for Beasley as well.

I think it's a great move for the Heat, Wade, Beasley, O'Neal at the 2-3-4 gives them a chance to contend in the East if O'Neal stays healthy, and it's a cap flexibility move for Toronto.
 
ALL STAR WEEKEND!

this will make being alone on valentine's day at least not absolutely terrible.
 
True story, I was supposed to go home to see my family this weekend, but I don't have cable at home, so I'm staying at school just to watch this. I was going to watch it with friends but they decided to go home.

predictions:

Shooting Stars: LA

Skills Challenge: Devin Harris

3-point shootout: Mike Bibby

Slam Dunk: Dwight Howard

LA just lost shooting stars, so you're 0/1

The Knicks' fan in me wants Nate Robinson to win the dunk contest but I don't know who's all in everything so I won't make predictions.
 
yeah. that was pretty funny. and then lebron missed a dunk a couple seconds later.

i thought the best play was shaq through dwight's leg's to chris paul. that was ridiculous.
 
Since the Detroit Pistons just traded Alex Acher to the Lakers for a draft pick, this leaves huge possibilities for the option to trade Amir Johnson and Rasheed Wallace to Phoenix for Amare Stoudamire (Give or take a few third string players).

I think this would leave huge possibilities for both teams. The Pistons would recieve a fantastic inside precense that they haven't had for some time, while Phoenix would get expiring contracts and a well ranged Sheed. Amir Johnson is a decent player in the making.
 
heh the cp3 miss dunk might had been what cost him the mvp, idk what else would had.

j-rich getting arrested is bad but at least he wasn't drunk. I can't say I've never done, like 70 in a 35.

amare for rasheed would had been good if they had done it last year and kept marion. nash/marion/sheed would had beaten san antonio .-.
 
Lol the nets turned down stoudemire for Yi and Anderson who will probably get really good eventually but the nets want lebron and stoudemire's quiet expensive
 
If I was a Nets' fan, I'd be pissed. Devin Harris and Amare? That's a tandem you can build around.

New York was told that "Phoenix won't deal with the Knicks." What a bunch of D'Antoni haters.

Anyway, Porter is out of Phoenix now, so I can't see Amare going anywhere. The team's gonna run and he'll suddenly be better.
 
What the fuck did the nets really turn down Stoudemire for Yi and Anderson?

Can I have a link on that?
Well, as a Suns fan, I'm happy. On the other hand, it must hurt to be a Nets fan :P

But yeah...the Suns are just falling apart right now...
 
A bit late, but the ASG proves the NBA is nothing more than a marketing scheme.... How else do you explain CP3 not getting MVP with 14 points, 7 Boards, 14 Assists, and 3 Stls? All Kobe did was throw shots up at the rim and Shaq only played 11 minutes... Also, hopefully the Suns can make a run now that they're going to run again.
 
what the fuck. i call bs. nets were the one that officially offered yi anderson swift and a draft pick for suns. where did you get that nets TURNED ANYTHING down. the only way nets turn anythin down is if suns asked for harris
