nba trade rumors: shawn marion for brad miller

-
looks like shawn marion's name is connected with almost all trade rumors today. i've already mentioned that the matrix might be traded for jermaine o'neal. apart from j.o. though, i think miami is also looking for other big men to trade for marion.

and one big man i think is ripe for a trade is brad miller. the center will be paid 11 million this year and 12.5 million next year. no doubt, the sacramento kings, looking to rebuild would want to unload that hefty contract.

why the kings would want marion

his expiring contract would give them more financial flexibility. they are not fighting for a playoff spot this year so dealing away their best big man won't be a big blow. plus spencer hawes and jason thompson have been playing well lately so it would be better for the kings to give these two big men the playing time they need.

why the heat would want miller

he's the big man that they need. if i were to pick between brad miller and jermaine o'neal for the miami heat, i would take brad miller in a heartbeat. why? because the heat has a glut of players who can score at will. what they need is a big man who can rebound well and at the same time can pass well. brad miller will not ask for a lot of touches unlike jermaine who is known for his offense but not for his passing skill.

adding brad miller might give the heat that extra push to make them a legit contender for the championship. wade is great but that might not be enough to get them that ring this season. who knows, maybe adding brad miller could turn the heat from the worst team in the league last year to the champions this season.

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.
