NBA

The NBA is currently experiencing it's most exciting offseason......ever. I'll give the cliffs notes:

-The NBA draft occured last night -- nothing real exciting happened. To be expected, Oden went to the Portland Trailblazers and Durant went to the Super Sonics.

-Greg Oden(big ugly guy from ohio state) and Kevin Durant(skinny amazing player from texas) are two of the most talented players to come out of an NBA draft since Michael Jordan and Hakeem Olajuwon both entered the league in 1984. (more realistically, it's similar to LeBron and Carmelo in 2003.... but it's more fun to pull out references from a while ago).

-Kobe Bryant still wants to be traded... and it looks like this will happen.

-Kevin Garnett(Minnesota Timberwolves) will also be traded. In this deal, Amare Stoudemire (1st team all-nba selection last year) could also be traded.

-Ray Allen WAS traded to the Boston Celtics (you may know him as jesus shuttlesworth from "he got game"). This trade also moved Wally Szczerbiak (and a few others) along with the #5 pick in the draft to the Seatle Supersonics. Wally went to Miami (OH).

-Within a year, 10 amazing NBA players will have expiring contracts which could lead to a lot more shifting of big name players.

-Cleveland remains secluded from any of the aforementioned trade talk.
