Is Rajon Rondo Worth It?

 I do not own this picture. The Boston Jam and/or the NBA owns it all.
From Fox...
On Wednesday, shortly after Boston point guard Rajon Rondo responded to the hard foul by Kris Humphries on Kevin Garnett with a flash of anger and fists, a second fight broke out among NBA fans around the country: Whether or not the mercurial Celtics star is worth all the trouble.
This is the third time in 10 months Rondo has been suspended. The triumvirate began with throwing a ball at an official last season, continued when he made contact with an official during the playoffs, and now has been punctuated with a full-fledged fight against another player that went to the stands — spread to the point that Nets forward Gerald Wallace was fined $35,000 and Garnett fined $25,000 for escalating the brawl, and left Boston without its best player for an entire half against a very good Brooklyn team.
That Rondo is a magnificent talent is not in doubt. He is a playmaker extraordinaire, and had been chasing Magic Johnson’s streak of consecutive games with 10 or more assists when his ejection brought an abrupt halt to his stretch at 37 games, nine behind the Magic mark.

Charles Barkley Gone

I do not own this picture. The NBA and/or Vimeo owns it all.
 From Awful Announcing....
Charles Barkley recently told SI.com that his broadcaster career may be coming to an end in the near future. This is surprising since Barkley has always been quite popular amongst his NBA viewers. He's jovial, witty, and seems to enjoy himself on air. In the interview with SI.com, Barkley stated that he "loves his job" and "the people he works with" which makes it even more surprising as to why he'd hang up the mic so early. And yet, Barkley says he may not make it through the end of his current contract, which runs for four more years: "I love my job," Barkley said. "I love the people I work with. And I'm going to try to do things to keep me engaged. But I have four years left on my current deal and to be honest with you, it's going to be a struggle for me to make it for the whole four years. I really don't know how much longer I'm going to do this. I need something more, or something else to do to be honest with you." "Dude, you have been doing this for 13 years and if I make it to the end of the contract it will be 17 years. Seventeen years is a long time. It's a lifetime in broadcasting. I personally have to figure out the next challenge for me."

Gasol and Stodemire

From the Bleacher Report...
I do not own this picture. The NBA owns it all.
With the Los Angeles Lakers struggling at 3-5 and the New York Knicks sitting pretty at 6-0, allow me to welcome you to the NBA's version of Bizarro World.
The Los Angeles Lakers and the New York Knicks, two of the most prestigious franchises in all of sports, are surprisingly on two opposite sides of the basketball spectrum to kick off the 2012 season.
Out in Los Angeles, the Lakers are still trying to grasp an identity. The front office ousted head coach Mike Brown after five games, turned down a franchise icon in Phil Jackson and ended up bringing in the offensive guru and Mr. Pringles impressionist Mike D'Antoni. As they sit under .500 through their first eight games, there certainly has some work to be done in order to retool this squad into a viable contender.
But as we head east to New York, there's a bit of a different story. Although they're not the most talented in the league, the Knicks are currently the last remaining unbeaten. They've bested some NBA powerhouses in Miami and San Antonio and look to be clicking in all the right places under the direction of Mike Woodson.
So how can the Lakers turn it back on and how can the Knicks maintain their exciting success?
Simple, swap power forwards.

LeBron says Chris Paul is the Best Point Guard in the NBA

I do not own this picture. The Chicago Tribune and/or the NBA owns it all.
From the LA Times...
After the Clippers beat Miami on Wednesday, LeBron James sat by his locker praising Chris Paul.
"He's always aware, he knows the tempo of the game, knows the score. He's always aware of when he needs to pick his points, you know, pick his shots or get into attack and make things happen.

"That's why I've always felt that he's the best point guard in the NBA."
Paul had 16 points and 10 assists in the Clippers' 107-100 win over the defending champions. He opened the game up for his team, turning a 54-52 halftime lead into a double-digit advantage heading into the fourth quarter after he scored 13 points in the final three minutes and 22 seconds of the third quarter.
Paul referred to his third-quarter scoring frenzy as a stroke of luck.
When a reporter told him that the reigning MVP of the league thinks that Paul's humility is a bit misguided, Paul laughed.

LeBron James or Carmelo Anthony MVP

  I do not own this picture. The New York Post and/or the NBA owns it all.

From USA Today...
Carmelo Anthony is renewed. The New York Knicks forward is averaging 27.3 points and 7.3 rebounds a game and playing the best defense of his career.
The result: The Knicks are the last unbeaten team in the NBA at 4-0. But that's not good enough for USA TODAY Sports' NBA power rankings voters.
In our first in-season power rankings, Anthony trails LeBron James of the Miami Heat, whom the Knicks beat to open the season, in MVP votes while New York comes in second in our team rankings to the San Antonio Spurs.

LeBron James and Brown

 I do not own this picture. Stepien Rules and/or the NBA owns it all.
 From CBS...
LeBron James is very familiar with Mike Brown. He played for him in Cleveland for most of his career. And upon the summer of LeBron's imminent departure in the wake of the decision, in an effort to convince him to stay, Brown was fired as Cavs coach. The perception has always been strong that James was responsible for that decision, that were he to return to Cleveland, there would have to be a new coach.
James has, from time to time, defended Brown publicly, and Brown, for his part, has hinted that while Kobe Bryant's work ethic is superior (and who is it not to?), he had nothing bad to say about James. After the Lakers fired Brown on Friday, James began to tell reporters why he didn't feel it was fair before PR cut him off. From ESPN:
"I think it's unfortunate," James said Friday after the Heat's win in Atlanta against the Hawks. "I just don't think he got a fair shake, honestly. With the shortened season last year, and five games into this year, he didn't really get a full season."

The NBA Season 2012- 2013 Trades

 Hi this is a review for the NBA Season for 2012-2013 trades. This season, we have a lot of differences. Dwight Howard to the Lakers, Joe Johnson to the Nets, Andre Iguodala to the Nuggets , Ray Allen to the Heat and so many more. I am only going to talk about these trades. Let me start off with Dwight Howard. Dwight Howard who did not want to play on the Orlando Magic anymore, demanded a trade. I do not think it is right that he got his coach fired, Stan Van Gundy and then left the team, but what are you going to do. It went from him going to the Brooklyn Nets to the Houston Rockets to the OKC Thunder. I am not sure if anyone heard this but Dwight Howard was going to be traded for James Harden, Serge Ibaka and Kendrick Perkins. Next trade we have is Joe Johnson to the Nets. Joe Johnson, who is coming off his worst season of his career in my option is going to try to get better having Deron Williams with him. Then, we have Andre Iguodala, who got trade to the Nuggets because of the Dwight trade. Andre who is the 5th best Small Forward in the NBA should do great of the Nuggets giving them a star player. Last, we have Ray Allen coming to the Heat. Ray, who is the 2nd best three point shooter (after Kevin Durant) will be a surprise for him to come off the bench. Those are all the trades and my options on the trades.

Here is the Dwight Howard interview
