Darrell Arthur has been taking Speights minutes in teh last month so i guess that's why they felt comfortable moving him. Basically the bench is him, Poindexter, Bayless and then i guess who ever they add. Wroten might get a few more minutes as well and maybe Hadaddi gets some more burn as well.

Darrell Arthur had a big game today against the Lakers. 20 points and 9 rebounds off the bench.

Lakers need to win every single game now to get a good position the playoffs. Even if they make the playoffs, they will facing either OKC, San Antonio, LA Clippers or Memphis in a 7 game series.

I think it had more to do with the fact that Gay, Randolph, Gasol and Conley are taking up most of the salary cap. I read that the new owner wasnt happy going over the the luxury tax threshold and this trade saved them something like 6 mil and kept them under. It gives a guy like Inngles a great chance at making it cos hes gonna come cheap and he can fill a role same with free agents like Bill Walker and Sasha Vujacic. It was either do this or move Rudy Gay.

That's exactly why the move was made. They now have just enough cap space to sign 3 min contract guys and stay under the luxury tax threshold which means 1 - they don't pay it and 2- they get a slice of all the money from the teams that do pay it.

What? Would've been better if the pelican had a mono brow on it.

Any news on the Seattle Supersonics? Oh man the good ole days of Payton and Kemp.

Ahh yeah i used to go for the Supersonics when Payton and Kemp were there. Detlef Shrempf was also a favourite.

From what I've read it seems that all is needed is approval from the Board of Governors which seems to be a given. They would start playing as the Sonics at the start of next season. I think March or May is the cut off month for being able to start next season.

Another rumor going around is Larry Bird will be the GM for the team.

As bad as the pelican is the colours are better and they might have a decent jersey and floor. Funny how the owner snuck in the new orleans saints logo above the name, i wonder if he'll put a little pelican above the saints logo. I thought they should have called themselves the saints their colours are now the same, may as well have made the name and logo as well. Would have been something different.

I heard the Charlotte Bobcats have put in a submission to the league to become the hornets again as well.
