The starting five of PHOENIX SUNS according to Bill Simmons.....

NASH
KOBE BRYANT
BELL
DIAW
STOUDEMIRE  (or might even be a KG)

 ;D ;D ;D

Deal No. 1: Phoenix trades Shawn Marion, Leandro Barbosa, Marcus Banks and the rights to Atlanta's 2008 first-rounder to the Lakers for Kobe and Radmanovic.

Now we're talking! Some of my favorite things about this trade include …

(A) The Lakers ending up with a nucleus of Marion, Odom, Barbosa and Bynum, along with Farmar, Walton, Turiaf and the No. 19 pick, as well as the inevitable Kwame Brown trade to a moronic team that convinces itself that Kwame's career could be salvaged. That's a pretty good foundation.

(B) Phoenix trotting out a starting lineup of Nash, Kobe, Raja Bell, Amare Stoudemire and Boris Diaw. Good golly. Sweet Jesus.

(C) Radmanovic realizing his manifest destiny of playing in Phoenix. It was meant to be from the moment Mike D'Antoni and Nash teamed up three years ago.

(D) Kobe and Raja as teammates. High comedy. The most improbable pairing since Rodman and Pippen 12 years ago.

(E) The most selfish player in the league (Kobe) playing with the most unselfish player in the league (Nash). What a fascinating sociological experiment. If Nash can turn Kobe into a team player, I'm voting him for our 2008 president even though he's Canadian.

Two potential problems: First, it's unlikely that the Lakers would be dumb enough to trade Kobe within their own division, although with Kupchak involved, anything's possible. And second, assuming that Nash has a say in front-office decisions at this point, would he really want to green-light a scenario that has him managing two enormous egos in Stoudemire and Kobe?

Well, lemme throw this at you: What if the Suns then swapped Stoudemire to Minnesota for KG, as I proposed in a May 14 column? That would give them the following crunch-time lineup: Nash, Kobe, Bell, Diaw and KG. Ladies and gentlemen, your 2008 World Champions! Just send them the trophy right now.

So that's my vote: Black Mamba, you're going to Phoenix to play with KG and Nash. And if it happens, I can guarantee that the 2008 playoffs will be more entertaining than the 2007 playoffs.

LOL!  ;D  This would f_ck up almost all rabid Jordan fans.  ;D  On the other hand, he won't need to change his jersey number.  24 > 23.  ;)

Excerpt from an MSNBC report about the Lakers' efforts to appease King Kobe:

The Lakers and Pacers have discussed a trade that would bring Jermaine O'Neal to Los Angeles and perhaps placate disgruntled Bryant , the New York Post reported Thursday.

The newspaper said that the Lakers asked about O'Neal's availability in the past week and were told that the 6-foot-11, six-time All-Star — who was drafted four spots apart from Bryant in 1996 — indeed was a trade possibility.

No negotiations have occurred, the Post said, but that the Lakers told the Pacers that they have enough picks and/or players to make the deal happen. Lamar Odom would be a likely component of the trade since he makes $12,348,596 under the cap, the Post added.


I'd really hate to see Odom go.  But after Kobe's tantrums, the Lakers will definitely shake up its current roster, and Odom will probably be one Laker that they'll have to throw in to make any deal work.  I hope they get rid of Kwame Brown instead.  But now that he's damaged goods, looks like he's not going anywhere.  >:(  The Lakers should seriously reconsider too whether keeping Bynum is worth it.

I only saw game #1 of the west final and that was it - I knew ZZZzzz Spurs would win that series anyway.  The east final is boring as well but at least the Cavs seems to be giving more effort than the Jazz.  I predict the east final will go 7 games.  Hope Bron comes out on top.  Btw, did anyone see Bron ward off Rip before he was going to take his free throws will a couple of secs remaining in the game?  Rip approached Bron to trash talk him before the FTs but Bron just nudged him and sank both freebies.  Hehehehe. Owned!

PS: Don't care for Eva L too much also.  I'll take Teri Hatcher/Marcia Cross anytime.

Not to take anything from the Cavs and James, but the Pistons were horrible in this series don't you think?

Yes, I could agree with that.    I think there is some internal squabble among the Pistons.   

Another factor would be the league's policy on keeping a free-flowing game to generate offense.  I miss those play-off hard fouls.  Sometimes I think nobody can touch anyone anymore on defense.  Play-off intensity isnt what it used to be.

I favor this change otherwise Detroit would have been more boring to watch if they revert to their Bad Boys days. Imagine LBJ driving to the lanes going strong for the slam but 3 Pistons come hard at him crashing him to the ground for free throws. 

If you have a thing with free throw contests, fine with me but I think I'll watch Bron slam that one in any given Sunday.

For sure the Cavs will be the underdog in the finals.  I'll be rooting for the Bron & Co.
But if I were to bet, I'll put my money on the ZZZZZzzzzzpurs (even though I hate them).
