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

tim duncan sinks rare three to force 2OT : san antonio spurs beat phoenix suns

tim duncan is not known for his outside shooting. well, he can shoot it with the best of them in the preimeter but this guy has never taken a lot of threes in his career. he doesn't need to since he's got a great inside game. but when the san antonio spurs needed a three, tim duncan proved that he is indeed clutch as he sank a three with seconds left to force a second overtime. the spurs would go on to beat the phoenix suns 117-115. tim duncan finished with 40 points, eclipsing lebron james' 32-point outing as well as chris paul's 35 points for the hornets . the big man also grabbed 15 rebounds and dished out 5 assists. tony parker scored 26 and manu ginobili scored 24 off the bench. michael finley added 13 for the spurs. the game would have gone to a third overtime if not for ginobili who, with 15 seconds drive to the basket and made a layup. amare stoudemire led the suns with 33 points but fouled out in the first overtime period. shaq was in foul troubl

keys on the ignition: first post

first post.yey! i love sports although i get the feeling that the feeling ain't mutual. but that won't stop me from ranting about this and that sport. i particularly like formula one and nascar, now, i am not giving one or the other preferential treatment. but to tell the truth, i have been a longer f1 fan than nascar. apart from these motorsports, i also like superbike and motogp, again, no preferential treatment although that may change if biaggi crosses the fence or rossi for that matter. i also love basketball though am too short for the game, i think. i got this fantasy team at cbssports and i think the team's doing well, three wins and a loss is good enough for this guy. i also started watching the nfl especially now that it is close to superbowl season. although i am still in the process of getting to know more about the sport, i am aware that the new england patriots are favored. good times in boston huh? and since i have mentioned boston, we cannot leave o
