ok

According to ESPN, the Rockets and Nets are still discussing Carter, with the Nets' proposal being Carter and Josh Boone for Artest/Battier/Head/Landry.

Forget that Carter for McGrady deal, McGrady confirmed today that he does in fact need microfracture surgery, and is done for the season.

These.

Shaq & Kobe co-MVPs. Awww, how sweet.

Mo Williams kinda got hosed in the Skills challenge, where the ballboy jumped out in front of him during that bounce pass. That ended up being the difference between him advancing and being eliminated.

It was as legit of one as there's been in this contest. The guy's also 265 pounds and doing it with two hands. But either way, I can't argue Nate winning this one. It was pretty much over after his last dunk.

Dwight should have just dunked Nate through the hoop on his last one. He let Nate use him as a prop!

Man, how far have we come with these dunks when a legit, two-handed foul line dunk is met with relative silence?

First round was pretty weak, but it's getting good now.

I don't agree with the folder specific banning thing, either. You all have the option of not clicking on any of the topics he's flooding the folder with.

No, "the mods" don't think it's OK. Believe it or not, we don't all mindlessly agree with each other on all topics, including this one.

Also, I think it's worth noting that the most vocal anti-EHME poster here was allowed to post child porn on the board without penalty.

ok, it turns out that Leena actually hacked the root admin account and banned us all temporarily. But it's fixed now. I've been gone most of the day, and assumed it was a joke among the guys. Either way, I'm back now.

hahaha, everything's cool, guys. We were just playing along with Leena's "I'm taking over TSM" charade at the Pit.

A few more rumors thrown out from HoopsHype, if you guys are interested. Before this trade went down, one was being discussed with the main pieces being Stoudemire to Miami, Marion and Rudy Gay to Phoenix, and Beasley to Memphis. A deal of Stoudemire for Gay, Mike Conley, and Hakim Warrick was rejected by Memphis. Dallas and New Jersey are/were in talks again, with this deal sending Vince Carter, Keyon Dooling and Eduardo Najera to Dallas for Josh Howard and...Jerry Stackhouse. Dun dun DUN. But, Dallas does not want to include Josh Howard in a deal for Carter, unless the Nets also include Brook Lopez, which isn't happening. Carter to Houston for Ron Artest and spare parts has also been discussed. The Clippers reportedly offered Baron Davis and Chris Kaman to Dallas for Jason Kidd, but Dallas, also still holding out hope for 2010, is not interested in taking back their contracts. The Nets have also had talks about Mike Miller, Caron Butler, and Larry Hughes. The latest Stoudemire-to-Bulls rumor was for Gooden, Sefolosha, Thomas, and Cedric Simmons. Larry Hughes to Washington for Etan Thomas and Mike James was discussed. Richard Jefferson and Luke Ridnour to Portland for Travis Outlaw, Sergio Rodriguez, Raef LaFrentz and a draft pick.

Show is from Cleveland. I'll try to have something.

O'Neal comes off the cap in 2010, so I assume the Heat are aiming to sign another big name to go alongside Wade.

I will readily admit that LeBron takes lots of contact that isn't called, but a lot of his supporters want to pretend that he never gets the benefit of the whistle whenever the referees may blow a couple, which is just absurd. FWIW, I don't dislike the Cavs as a team or an organization, I've just grown to dislike LeBron a whole lot over the last year or so. I can't say anything bad about him as a player, but he just has this arrogance about him, like he thinks he's bigger than the rest of the world or something.
