More bad news for the Nets. Because, clearly, they haven’t had enough of that lately: “The team is not discussing any timetable for the third-year player, but a typical recovery period for such an injury is two to four weeks, and it has been known to last as long as six. ‘It’s a shame; if you look at it, he had a good start to the season, he was aggressive and assertive in the first few games,’ Nets coach Lawrence Frank said Tuesday night. ‘You feel bad for him, ...

Warriors acquire Marcus Williams

Tue, 22 Jul 2008 18:13:31 -0500

So far, Marcus Williams has been a bust. The former first-round pick (#22 overall) clearly hasn't panned out, as he's averaging just 6.4 points and 3.0 assists and shooting 38.9% from the field in his brief career. That didn't stop Golden State from trading a future first round pick for him. From the NY Post blog.... " The trade will be announced later today. The pick is lottery protected for 2011, so the Nets get it if the Warriors are in the playoffs. If it goes ...

Point Guards and Big Men

Thu, 10 Jul 2008 08:51:32 -0500

Everything is on hold till Mr. Big Game decides who he wants to take the MLE from. So lets spend some time thinking about who might fill out the roster. We have pretty sizable holes at backup point guard and center (gee, that sounds familiar, don't we say that every year?). It looks like Chad Ford has updated his Free Agent rankings (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/columns/story?columnist=ford_chad page=FreeAgents-080629). Seems like a good time to review some names: Unrestricted Free...

Duhon Signing a Souring Loss In O-Town?

Mon, 07 Jul 2008 16:23:08 -0500

A Daily Babble Production As was discussed (index.php?option=com_content task=view id=3549 Itemid=260) yesterday in this space, the Chris Duhon signing fills a need for the hated Knickerbockers but isn't likely on its own to instigate any ground-breaking changes in the results for the team in the Sizable Apple. So our attention turns to an Eastern contender that seems to be quite bothered by losing out on what apparently became a sweepstakes of sorts for the former Duke guard...

Free Agent Rumors and Updates

Sun, 06 Jul 2008 09:48:43 -0500

This Corey Maggette thing is getting worse than a soap opera. The Globe announced that the Celtics had made offers to both Maggette and Posey on July 1. On July 3, the Herald reported that the Celtics denied making an offer to Maggette. Ok, maybe the Globe was mistaken and the Celtics didn't make an offer, but just contacted his agent and inquired about him. But, then, on July 4, the Globe had another article on how the Celtics made an offer to Maggette and Doc even called him to talk to ...
