  • For years fans have bought tickets for the cheap seats at Nets' home game and with the arena only half full, been able to move down to the more expensive seats. After acquiring Yi Jianlian, that plan may no longer work.
  • You know that saying about real men don't cry? Apparently Jermaine O'Neal doesn't follow that rule, admitting that he had tears of joy after being shipped from Indiana to Toronto.
  • Oklahoma City has an NBA squad. Now it needs a nickname that is politically correct. Good luck.
  • Between downloading Elton Brand wallpaper on my computer and seeing if his new Sixers jersey is for sale yet, I got a bad reminder about Philadelphia acquiring a player bouncing back from injury.
  • By picking up Corey Maggette, the Warriors got the fourth-best free agent available. That would be fine, except for the fact that he is two steps below the trio of Gilbert Arenas, Elton Brand and Baron Davis.
  • Can the duo of O.J. Mayo and Kevin Love make this year's NBA Summer League as exciting as last year's with Greg Oden and Kevin Durant?
