it worked: chandler for marion, peja for camby

-

yeah, the trade machine said this would work:

miami heat sends shawn marion to the new orleans hornets for tyson chandler and...
los angeles clippers trades marcus camby to the new orleans hornets for peja stojakovic.

the numbers matched but would it really work out?

why would the heat want chandler

the miami heat can contend for the championship if they can add a low post presence which they could certainly have in tyson chandler. although his points production would suffer since he would not be playing with a pass first point guard, his rebounding numbers would remain as is or even improve.

would the hornets trade for shawn marion

like most teams in the nba, the hornets are looking to save money for the future. marion's expiring contract is quite an attractive piece although i don't know if the hornets would really trade away one of the members of their core group. also, marion is a pretty good player and imagine how good he could be playing alongside chris paul.

on the flipside, the hornets are already thin up front. when tyson chandler went down with an injury recently, they have to make do with hilton armstrong and melvin ely and i don't think either could provide the production that the hornets needed to win a ring. if birdman was re-signed by the hornets last summer, i think it would be probable for them to trade tyson chandler. but as it stands right now, the hornets will not trade chandler away if they do not have a good replacement for the center position...which brings us to the peja for camby trade.

would the clippers trade camby for peja

i don't think so. they have a good project in al thornton for the shooting forward spot. also, peja still has three years in his contract and has a history of injuries. i think even the clippers would not want to touch a guy like peja. but then again, they agreed to take on zach randolph's contract running for three years so who knows, they might take on peja's three-year contract and make a big splash in the 2012 free agency where names like chris paul, deron williams, jose calderon, kevin martin, dwight howard, andrew bynum, and al jefferson would be unrestricted free agents.

would this three-team trade really work

i don't know. :P if you believe in the trade machine, then it could. and if you think i'm an idiot for even considering this trade, then it won't. lol.

and yeah, i'm an idiot. ~x(

who's got the baddest f1 helmet?

the cars are not the the only sleek things in formula 1. there are kick-ass helmets too. anyone familiar with f1 knows that each driver has his own helmet. so, i did a bit of snooping around to bring you these f1 helmets. giancarlo fischella will be suiting up again for force india this season and he'll be wearing this helmet for the 2009 season. not too shabby but not too great either. adrian sutil, fisichella's force india teammate will be rocking this helmet this year. better than fisichella's in my opinion. back with renault for the second year after his one-year stint with mclaren-mercedes, fernando alonso has this for this year. looks good but i think i will go with sutil's still. heikki kovalainen would be looking to improve his last year's performance this season. hopefully, the helmet will not be the only thing he's changed for the better. it's tough but my mclaren bias means i'm picking this helmet over sutil's. jarno trulli, still w

kevin durant is rookie of the year

last year's draft saw the portland trailblazers picking up greg oden with their first pick. then, seattle went with kevin durant and durant would go on to become this season's rookie of the year (uhm, rookie of what year exactly? shouldn't it be called the rookie of the season or something? hehehe). the university of texas standout, a 6'9" swingman with a wingspan of almost 7'5" led all rookies in scoring with 20.3 per contest. i must admit that i was more interested in oden as i was wondering how he (oden) will be able to match up with the league's premier big men. but durant showed that at his young age, he can ball with the best in the nba. i also admire the kid's professionalism, his dedication to his craft. in the first months of this season, he kept shooting threes which really hurt his shooting percentage. but he soon learned that it would be easier to make shots if he throw them up closer to the rim. by the end of the regular seaso

anybody who matter really ripping on lebron?

  It’s amazing how LeBron at almost 37 is still being ripped for struggling, when he has an AD in his prime and not living up to expectations. Magic, Bird, Duncan, Hakeem, and Jordan were no longer relevant at 37. That lets you know how great LBJ is. “Keep it moving” — Eddie A Johnson (@Jumpshot8) December 10, 2021 it's amazing how eddie johnson can find people who knows what they are talking about actually rip on lebron. i mean, most of the blame on the lakers' lack of early season success has been piled on westbrook early on and has shifted to tony davis recently.  lebron is a physical specimen and although i'm not his biggest fan, i understand how great he is as a player and i can honestly say that he has not gotten any sort of blame for the lakers' season so far. so i'm not sure where eddie is coming from here. also, timmy won a chip as a major contributor at 36...against a stacked lebron team at that.
