Trade slúður: Vince Carter fyrir Wallace og Pavlovic

The Nets and Cleveland Cavaliers have discussed Vince Carter again, sources said. As financial losses mount for New Jersey’s ownership, it appears more likely that the Nets will try to move Carter and the two years and $33.6 million left on his deal. The Nets would have to take Ben Wallace and Sasha Pavlovic in return.

Nets (sem eru að skíta á sig í peningamálum) losna við $33M leifar af samningi við Carter og Cavs fá skorara til að létta á James.

Trade slúður: Cavs og Bucks með skipti

There are rumors surfacing the league that talks with the Cavs and Bucks have been going on since last week. According the league sources, The Cavs would be sending Ben Wallace, Anderson Varejao, Sasha Pavlovic and a draft pick for the services of Michael Redd & Charlie Villanueva.

Sé eitthvað til í þessu erum við að tala um mikla ógn frá þriggja stiga línunni í Cavs liðinu á næstunni.  Redd er 39% og Villenueva er um 33% þaðan.  Redd væri eflaust strax byrjunarliðsmaður en Villenueva fínt bakköpp fyrir James.  Framlínan hjá Cavs yrði mun veikari fyrir vikið og mátti ekki mikið við, en Cavs hafa verið í viðræðum við Wizards um skipti fyrir Antawn Jamison.

Charles Oakley til að herða upp Knicks?

About time!  Það er ekki til betri maður í verkið.

Meanwhile, Charles Oakley is under consideration by Walsh to help big men get down and dirty at the defensive end. Does that mean the Knicks president is unhappy with how easy and how often opponents scored last season? My second question is, how do you teach bringing intimidation and intensity to work every time you get on the court? Oakley also was contacted by Portland officials who suspect it might be good for the team's health if a trace of his brutish attitude rubbed off on Greg Oden.

Yao Ming um Cleveland orðróminn

"This is all an unknown," Yao said in the interview, a transcript of which was posted online Friday.

"I've already been with Houston for such a long time, I still have much affection for this team," Yao said. "Moreover, this past season we were very successful, and that let me see some hope.

"Regardless of whether its a Chinese boss, or a foreign boss, they're both bosses and a boss is just a boss," he added.

Cleveland has not publicly expressed interest in Yao, who has one guaranteed year left on his contract with Houston, including a player option for the 2010-11 season.

Kobe Bryant er í öðru sæti, ásamt Michael Jordan og F-1 ökumanninum Kimi Raikkonen, yfir hæst launuðu íþróttamenn ársins 2008 skv. Forbes Magazine með $45 milljónir.  MJ still clockin' big cheese þrátt fyrir að vera hættur að spila.  Það sem vekur samt furðu mína er að Tiger Woods vermir efsta sæti þessa lista með $110 mills!!!  Þrátt fyrir hnjámeiðsl sem héldu honum frá keppni nánast allt árið.  Saaaæll!!  Annars eru hér þeir helstu:

* Tiger Woods is #1 with approximately $110 million in earnings in the last year. (And consider that Tiger missed a lot of opportunities at tournament prize money due to his knee injury.)

* Kobe is tied for second place with Michael Jordan and Formula One driver Kimi Raikkonen at $45 million.

* LeBron is tied for sixth ($40 million) with Manny Pacquiao and golfer Phil Mickelson.

* Shaq ($33 million) is tied for 11th with Roger Federer.

* Kevin Garnett ($30 million) is tied for 17th with NASCAR driver Jeff Gordon, Derek Jeter and soccer superstar Ronaldinho.

Mark Jackson að þjálfa Minnesota?

Multiple sources have told Pro Basketball News that Mark Jackson has emerged as the leading candidate for the position and will wind up with his first coaching gig.

Jackson, 44, has worked as a lead analysts on broadcasts for ESPN/ABC since 2007 and was linked to the New York Knicks opening filled by Mike D’Antoni last offseason. He’s made no secret of his desire to coach in the NBA, telling reporters in L.A. just last week that it’s “been a dream of mine, like anyone who’s ever played the point guard position and has been the extension of the coach on the floor. I’ve been tempted to run a show my entire life.”
