Every year for every sport I get SO excited for days like yesterday, the trade deadlines but why?  Every year, I get disappointed.  I know I am a SUCKER for rumours and I read about 75 a day and maybe that’s my problem. I just wish for ONCE there would be 5 blockbuster deals and I could go to bed with a smile.  Yesterday was more of the same disappointment for me and the rest of the fans out there that were expecting big things or at least one big trade.  I will let you know what went down and then you let me know what you think, deal?

Houston, Memphis and Orlando

To Houston: PG Kyle Lowry and F Brian Cook

To Orlando:  PG Rafer Alston

To Memphis: Unprotected First Round Pick From Orlando, PG Mike Wilks and C Adonal Foyle

Winner: Memphis for sure, the pick and 2 expiring contracts, NICE!

Chicago and New York

To Chicago: F Tim Thomas (again), F Jerome James and G Anthony Roberson

To New York: G/F Larry Hughes

Winner: No one, pretty boring trade actually.

Oklahoma City and New York

To New York: F/C Chris Wilcox

To OKC: F Malik Rose

Winner: New York only because Malik Rose will never set foot in OKC, Believe DAT!

Toronto, Sacramento and Boston

To Toronto: C Patrick O’Bryant

To Sacramento: Will Solomon (THANK GOD)

To Boston: Heavily Protected 2nd Round Pick from Sac-Town

Winner: My Raps of course! They got rid of my least favourite player in HISTORY and they get some height and youth regardless of how slow he is.

Chicago and Sacramento

To Chicago: C Brad Miller and G/F John Salmons

To Sac-Town: F Drew Gooden, F Andres Nocioni and F Cedric Simmons

Winner: Has to be Chicago.  Miller is capable as a C and John Salmons is versatile.  Sac-Town just gets  a salary dump at the end of the year.

There were other trades but nothing too interesting (as if this stuff was). What did you all think of what went down?  Don’t you wish you were going to watch Shaq and LeBron team up?  Man that would have been awesome!

“Tell me how my ass tastes?” ha ha  if you don’t know what that reference means look it up.

Peace!
