NBA MOVERS


MAGIC UPGRADE...The New Jersey Nets traded Vince Carter and Ryan Anderson for the Magics Rafer Alston, Tony Battie and Courtney Lee. Which give the Orlando Magic another firepower to play along Howard, Lewis and Turkoglo.

Hmmmm, another scorer in town?? picture this a scoring point guard in Nelson, with Lewis, Hedo, Carter and Howard in the lineup, sharing won't be a problem i hope. Remember Howard complaining of not having to much touches in the playoff. Now with the trade would this help them?. The positive thing i see through this is that compared to Lewis and Hedo, Vince can create his own shot, can split double teams and can slash efficiently through the lane, unlike Lewis and Hedo who are primarily a perimeter player.

Shaq attack is coming to Cleveland, A new dynamic duo? The King and the Diesel are now teammates. The Cleveland made a huge trade in acquiring the 7-1 325 lbs. Shaquille O'neil from the Phoenix Suns. The suns in return get Ben Wallace, Sasha Pavlovic, a 2nd round pick at the 2010 draft and $500,000 cash.


A decision based on experience is what I would say to this trade, the Cavs on the East Finals just have no answer for the Superman Dwight Howard of the Orlando Magic. With O'neil in town big Z would slide down to a back up center. A good move?? that remains to be seen. Shaq in Phoenix just didn't work out, the suns really are into the up tempo run and gun style, while the Cavs are a half court team that may suite well with O'neil 37 year old legs. But still Shaq is a force to reckon with inside the shaded lane.

Yesterday was a busy one, The spurs traded their old reliable to a young and proven scorer. The San Antonio Spurs get Richard Jefferson from the Milwaukee Bucks for Bruce Bowen and Kurt Thomas and Fabricio Oberto.


I think this trade was inevitable, due to the 1st round exit of the Spurs to the Mavericks, the Spurs at that time are a two man show of Duncan and Parker. They were outmatched in term of firepower and really needed a scorer to help Timmy and Parker. Richard Jefferson is a proven scorer during his years with the Nets and Bucks so scoring wont be a problem for the spurs now, but as we all know the spurs are a defensive minded team, lets see if bringing in a scorer in exchange for two of their good defenders would help the spurs.
