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

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

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
