KOBE CASE DISMISSED Everyone knows now that Kobe’s criminal case has been dismissed but the civil suit is in jeopardy because now the judge is making the accuser reveal her name if she wants to go through with the civil suit. I think she probably won’t go through with it because she wants to keep … Read more

MALONE NOT READY TO PLAY YET Karl Malone said he’s not ready to play this season yet but that doesn’t mean he’s out forever. I predict he’ll come back to the Lakers just like Michael Jordan came back to the league because Karl loves basketball more than any other player in the league. Karl – … Read more

KIDD MISSING PRACTICE Jason Kidd of the New Jersey Nets is missing practice because of his injury and he is still recovering from knee surgery. He’s missed two or three night practices in a row and he doesn’t care if he gets fined. Come Back Jason – the Nets need you!

LAKERS BANGED UP Today the Lakers already have 3 players on day to day conditions – Brian Grant, Luke Walton and Vlade Divac. Luke has an ankle problem and Vlade will be out for a month. I hope they get better to get in the game!

BOSTON GETS PAYTON The Lakers traded Gary Payton and Rick Fox to the Celtics for Chris Mihm, Chucky Atkins and Marcus Banks. I think time will tell how this trade works out because Marcus Banks could be a great player one day.

I think it was a good deal for both teams but I’m sad that Mutombo had to leave the Knicks. The Knicks will be vastly improved next year and should … Read more

USA WIN WITHOUT THREE STARS! The USA won it’s first game 91-76. Because of being late to practice LeBron James, Amare Stoudimire and Allen Iverson were benched. Carloz Boozer and Carmelo Anthony led the way with 16 points each.

KITTLES TRADED TO THE CLIPPERS! After the Nets signed Buford and Vaughn the Nets traded Kerry Kittles to the Clippers for a second round pick and cash. I think each team got a fare share because now the Clippers let Richardson go and the Nets have some money to replace Kmart.
