Marion Wants Out Of Phoenix, Kobe Wants Marion
2007-09-27 01:56:00
With rumors of a Shawn Marion for Lamar Odom trade, Shawn Marion is saying wants out of Phoenix and says he would welcome a trade to the Lakers. Kobe is also coming out and saying he hopes the trade goes through. It is crazy that Marion wants out of Phoenix because they are so close to a championship. If Marion does get sent to LA it won’t really help the Lakers a bunch so I don’t know why Kobe wants him. He can give the Lakers more points, more rebounds, and more heart then Odom but that won’t take them to a title. Overall, I think Marion is a solid player that is underated but Lamar Odom is a more skilled player, he’s just not aggresive enough. The best way for the Lakers to contend is to keep Odom and Kobe and add a third star player. Trading Odom straight up for Jermaine O’ Neal, Marion, or anyone else won’t help.

Good Free Agents Still Out There
2007-09-24 16:21:00
Training camp starts in a week and their are still some good free agents out there. This was probably one of the worst seasons to be a free agent because most teams were low on cap space so guys signed for less money or did not sign at all. A few solid players that are left are Earl Boykins, Anderson Varejao, Sasha Pavlvic, Brian Skinner, Chris Webber, PJ Brown, Gary Payton, Troy Hudson, and Dee Brown. A few of those guys like Brown and Payton are still deciding if they will play but everyone else is being patient and waiting for the best deal. After such a long summer it seems like a few of these guys will end up overseas or they will just wait until midseason to see who the best team is and sign with them.

The Bucks have decided to match the offer Charlie Bell received from the Miami Heat. The Heat offered Bell a 5 year $18 million deal. The Bucks had 7 days to match the offer. Bell had become disatisfied with the organization because they took a long time to try and sign him and they where not willing to give him a long term deal. Bell was hoping the Bucks would not resign him but now that they have decided to keep him lets hope that he will be able to move forward and go out and play hard instead holding a grudge against the organization.
