Free Agency Begins

Just as the draft winds down, the flood gates open for free agents. And in my opinion the hottest commodities are Ray Allen who is rumored to be going to the Heat and Dwight Howard who I last heard requested to go to the Nets.

 First of all, as a huge Lebron fan and subsequently a heat fan I am not thrilled of the joining of Ray Allen to the squad, he obviously won't be a starter but I like the guys on our bench minus Turiaf or as Shay calls him, Turd-iaf. So I would hate to see these good guys on our bench lose playing time with the addition of Allen but it could be just the fact that I don't like Ray Allen, at all. He might be able to sink 3's but it would be so hard to cheer for him after rooting so hard against him. Shay thinks he will get paid to sit on the bench and just be used when the boys we have used this season need a break. If Battier continues being consistent with his shooting, then Allen will have some competition for playing time with him. Shay also thinks he could take Millers place altogether, and with his recent back trouble he should literally watch his back. Vent done, MOVING ON- Howard is probably the most popular name post-draft. We have known for a long time he wanted out of Orlando he wouldn't be the Dwight Howard we know and love if he kept quiet. Nope, he syays what is on his mind and he will get his way one way or the other, reference to Peace out Van Gundy. The most recent sources say he would like to go to the Brooklyn Nets(that's gonna take some getting used to). Now with the nets just drafting TyShawn Taylor (in my opinion the most under-estimated draft pick) adding a power house Center like Howard would be a good start to an offensive/defensive arsenal. But what about Deron Williams? Hmm, he is someone I am not sure of, he told sources he would have a decision by Sunday, possibly waiting to see who comes at him and what happens with Howard.

This is the part of basketball that just turns into an inter-twining web of back and forth, honestly how did we get along without the constant updates from ESPN and the players themselves on Twitter? I'm gonna be like a stockbroker being glued to my phone on the stock market, thank goodness school is out for summer and double thank goodness I don't have to worry about where Lebron will be taking his talents to, please no more decisions like that for a while boo boo.


Ok I think I have gotten all the NBA talk out of my system for today, I wonder what notifications I will wake up to tomorrow.
