Once empty basketball stadiums will soon be packed with NBA fans frothing at the mouth.
Ladies and gentlemen, the NBA is back. Only days removed from a 3am press conference featuring members of the NBA brass, along with NBPA player representative Derek Fisher, newswires have been absolutely on fire with gossip about who's going where.
Rajon Rondo's been rumored to be on the trading block, not necessarily because he's become a pariah in Boston, but because Danny Ainge seems to covet another all-world point guard in the Hornets' Chris Paul. I can't help but feel a little bit sorry for the NBA-owned Hornets, with both Paul and forward David West being reported as "wanting out". Chris Paul, though, purportedly wants to head to New York to join Amare and 'Melo to form yet another Superteam.
I told you it had gotten crazy since a couple of days back.
Apart from the CP3 issue, there's Dwight Howard supposedly being courted by the Prokherov's Nets, Tyson Chandler of the Mavs expecting to be on a new team before you can say "uncle", Brandon Roy's meniscus-less knees possibly going to Chicago, Baron Davis possibly making a Hollywood comeback, maybe with Washington's Rashard Lewis in tow, and the Amnesty Clause taking the current basketball lives of livin' large (contractually) ballers such as Gilbert Arenas and Brendan Haywood. Free agency begins on December 9, and this, early, we've already burnt down a few forests' worth of talkies.
It's a ridiculously voluminous amount of gossip for 2-3 days- and we've only just begun.
Finally off the negotiating table- and (almost) on to the hardwood.
I love this game- don't you?
