O.J. Lewis10/30 NBA Rumors: Dampier and TP
October 30th 2010 17:35
Tomorrow is Halloween. Happy Halloween readers! The NBA season has been great so far. The Heat- especially D-Wade- have been absolutely dominating. They completely blew out the Magic. Wade has been showing that Miami is still his team. However, their supporting cast has been putrid thus far. Is this going to be their undoing?
Anyway, Erick Dampier is finally going to make a decision. The veteran center will take a one year deal with the Houston Rockets. He has long been rumored with a move to Houston. This isn't set in stone, but I believe he will find a team. The Rockets- and the teams in the race- could do with the depth that Dampier provides. Houston needs this frontcourt depth, especially with the uncertainties about Yao's career.
Andrei Kirilenko is a Jazz favorite and instrumental to their success. AK47 says that he had a talk with GM Kevin O'Connor. Based on this talk, he does not expect to be traded. Kirilenko also thinks that he will be resigned. This is the last year of his 17 million dollar deal. It is too much money, so he will have to take the paycut. However, anybody can tell that Kiri loves Utah. He feels like the organization is a family to him. As far as the trade rumors go, who knows what will happen in the midst of another season? In my opinion, Kirilenko is not going anywhere. He will retire in a Jazz jersey.
The Portland Trail Blazers are always at the center of attention when it comes to trades, signing, releasing, GMs, and the like. You know, front office moves. Well, the Minnesota Timberwolves are not happy and they want something back. According to them, the Blazers gave them an injured player. Earlier this offseason, the T'Wolves dealt the 16th pick which was used to pick *laugh* Luke Babbitt.
Anyway, the Blazers gave average swingman Martell Webster in return. The Wolves believe that Webster was injured at the time of the trade and happened without the Timberwolves noticing. Minnesota want a draft pick as compensation. You know what I say? The Wolves only get like 3K. Really, it's not that big of a deal. Besides, you have to figure out what you're getting? But anyway, an injured Martell Webster is better than Luke Babbitt.
The biggest news comes in favor of me. Lately, I have been squashing the Tony Parker trade rumors. Especially, those that connect him to an asinine scenario where he would end up with the Knicks. Do you really think they have anything to trade? They overvalue their players almost as bad as the Wizards. Nobody else in the league even thinks about Jared Jeffries.
The San Antonio Spurs have done it. They made the smart move to resign their star and fan favorite; Tony Parker. Parker's heart is in San Antonio, and he has always wanted to remain there. Now he will. This seems like a Kirilenko scenario, except this one has almost come true. Parker received a multi-year extension. George Hill, Parker, and Ginobili make up one of the best backcourts in the NBA. Parker will also be vital in mentoring Hill to help Hill become one of the superstars of tomorrow.
