I'm starting to hate the Cavs........ first they back out of helping the Nets get Dwight, now they're helping the Fakers get Dwight. Only hope is Houston come up with something better for Orlando.

We doing what's best for us, not the nets

More on Dwight...

"Dwight's position has remained unchanged since the end of this past season," said Dan Fegan of LaGardere Unlimited. "He fully intends to explore free agency at the end of next season, regardless of what team trades for him, including Brooklyn."

& Bynum...

The agent for Los Angeles Lakers center Andrew Bynum says it would be "foolish" for any team to trade for his client without first speaking to Bynum to gauge his interest in signing a long-term extension with them.

"I can't imagine any team foolish enough to do the deal without asking permission to speak to Andrew," Bynum's agent David Lee told ESPNLosAngeles.com on Thursday. "That's beyond belief, but strange things happen."

Woodson is a moron then!! They both are better then Lin, by far.

Lin is still overrated! Don't really care what anyone says about that, Felton and Kidd both run a team better, especially a team consisting of amare and melo!

Stern met with the media after the Board of Governors held their annual summer meeting, and said the league is looking to add possibly $100 million in revenue by permitting small advertising patches on uniforms starting in the 2013-14 season.

I heard they were talking about this and am bloody pissed off that they're looking at doing it now. How small are we talking here!? That's one thing I always liked about the NBA is that they didn't disgrace the court or their jerseys with sponsorship rubbish the way the NBL does (I know the NBL needs the revenue, just using it as an example). I'm sure it won't be anywhere as bad as the NBL, but it's a start and bloody stupid!

What's next!? The court!?

If they keep it small and 1 per jersey then that's not too bad, on a bright note, imagine the patch card possibilitys

I think it would kind of crap getting a maccas patch in a card.

 

[Sanctum]

Yeah, he has potential, but so did a lot of the other players that signed big contracts around the league and now nobody wants.

For anyone who might not have seen it. @ the cookie dunk at 2.20mins

Chris Forsberg: Sources: Celtics set to ink veteran big man Jason Collins to a one-year, veteran minimum deal. Adds 7-footer to bench. Twitter

Steve Bulpett: Ainge says C's couldn't match Stiemer's Minn offer. Now they'll get veteran for cheap. Collins started 4g v. C's in playoffs. Twitter
