The economy is really starting to take its toll on professionalsports, and the NBA is no different. Bad contracts are bad even whenthe economy is pumping, but they really stand out in toughtimes like these. So I decided to look through the payrollsteam-by-team to try to identify the worst contracts in the NBA. Iexpected to list 15-20 names, but I ended up scribbling down 68. That'sright, there are no fewer than 68 bad contracts in the NBA.I didn't include any of the players that are in the final year oftheir contracts because?well, what's the point? They'll be off thebooks in a few months anyway. Instead, I wanted to focus on thosecontracts that are going to haunt teams for years to come, so to beeligible, players have to have at least a year left on their currentdeals.It's tough to compare someone making superstar money to an average,everyday role player, so I split these 68 contracts up into threegroups: the Overpaid Role Players, the Not-So-Super Stars and the...

Check out the scoring from yesterdays game between the BRUINS and the BLUES nice representation of NCAA Division one college hockey players. This is the classic wig out by former Vermont goalie and current Bruin Tim Thomas as David Backes scores the winning goal with one second left. If anything I thought the goalie was scored by a high stick. The game between the Bruins and the...

Who Ran The Bulls From 2003-2007?
In light of all the recent trades and rumors swirling around Paxson, people have been analyzing his legacy. My focus has been mainly on how much Reinsdorf was really calling the shots and whether that interfered with Paxson's job.
But was someone else really pulling the strings from 2003- 2007? Scott Skiles put his imprint on the team and gave them an identity on the court...

The Boston Bruins lost Manny Fernandez to 78 games last season after the goalie had knee surgery. Tim Thomas did admirably filling in for the injured veteran, but the Bruins need Fernandez back not only for this season but to mold future Boston goalies.

Good Riddance, Bulls Trade Larry Hughes to Knicks
ESPN is reporting that the Bulls and Knicks have agreed to a trade
and are awaiting league approval. The deal would send Larry Hughes
(!!!) to the Knicks for Tim Thomas and Jerome James.
So Hughes' short time with the Bulls has come to an end, and Chicago
will welcome James and Thomas. Is it me or does Tim Thomas change
teams, or at least almost change...

What Harrington, Mobley and Thomas bring to the Knicks
Unless something drastic happens in the next few days, Al Harrington, Cuttino Mobley and Tim Thomas are going to be New York Knicks.
All three players thrive in the fast-paced, open court system that characterizes Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni's style, and here are the specifics of how they would fit.

The Knicks did the impossible, finding a team that would actually take Jerome James off their hands. That team is the Chicago Bulls, who will also receive Tim Thomas and Anthony Roberson in exchange for Larry Hughes.

The Knicks made two big trades today, sending Jamal Crawford to the Warriors for Al Harrington and Zach Randolph and Mardy Collins to the Clippers for Tim Thomas and Cuttino Mobley. From a "win this year" standpoint, they look like horrible trades. From a "let's get LeBron in 2010" standpoint, they are small miracles.
