Making news around the league...
The Lakers get Phil Jackson for another season. The greatest luckiest coach of all time has decided to suck up the chronic leg and hip pain and pursue back-to-back titles. All that pain will pale in comparison to the ulcers likely to be created by coaching Ron Artest.
Hedo Turkoglu has signed a $60 million contract with the Portland Trail Blazers, according to ESPN.
I don't care what most of the national media says, this is a huge loss for the Magic. Hedo ran the offense for the Magic. He lead the way in crunch time of every playoff game, something Vince Carter will not be able to replicate. I guarantee Orlando will not make it to the Eastern Conference Finals.
Hoopsworld is reporting Jason Kidd will return to Dallas and sign a 3 year, $24 million contract. This is a horrible contract for the Mavericks. Kidd's skills are eroding faster than Obama's favorability rating.
Nothing screams patriotism more than a smokin' hot Israeli supermodel. Enjoy the holiday weekend and this video of Bar Rafaeli:
