mas malaki pala ang offer ng raptors kesa sa blazers.

-----

Turk0glu was NEVER on the Cavs plan kya wag na sana syang pangarapin dahil wala naman din cap space ang Cavs para habulin sya..

Pero ang pagpirma nya sa Raptors ang may malaking implication sa Cavs.. Mas lumaki ngayon ang chance nila na makuha sina Parker and Marion dahil ire-ren0unce ng Raptors ang rights nila sa dalawa to save cap para sa pagsign nila kay Hedo..

Kung sino sino kase ang pinapangarap eh..

Malaki na nga ang chance nila niyan..hmmmmm para sakin si Marion ang mas fit sa CAvs..may depensa kase si Shawn..si Parker pwede na din kung di nila ma-land si Matrix..
Sana naman makaisa ang Cavs sa mga FA na available pa...

Kobe Bryant coming to Manila on July 21

MANILA, Philippines – Still fresh from winning his fourth NBA title with the Los Angeles Lakers, Kobe Bryant will be heading for the Manila later this month as part of a six-city tour sponsored by Nike.

Bryant will make his first stop in the Philippines on July 21 and thereafter proceed to Singapore, Taipei (Taiwan), Hong Kong and Shanghai and Chengdu in China, according to a statement from Nike.

The Lakers star has toured Asia every summer since 2006 and last visited Manila in 2007. In 2008, he went on tour as part of the USA Basketball team leading up to the Beijing Olympics, where he and other NBA stars earned gold medals.

This year’s tour, according to Nike, offers Kobe a chance to check back in with the young players he met on previous tours and meet up and coming players.

“I'm looking forward to returning to Asia to see the progress the kids have made since my last visit,” said Bryant.

“I liked what I saw then and I’m planning to work the kids even harder to give them a better sense of the dedication and hard work it takes to be a champion.”

Nike is also this month the “Nike Dream Season”, which is part of Bryant’s signature shoe collection sold exclusively in Asia.

Shaq, Kobe, TD ... who's the first to plead the fifth?


{credits to yahoo for the image)

it's a barroom/barbershop argument with legs. And those gams? They can really turn heads. It's the rare hypothetical worth working over. It's something worth discussing, if you'd like me to get to the point.

Kobe Bryant(notes), Tim Duncan(notes), and Shaquille O'Neal(notes) all have four NBA championship rings. With each player securely placed on a championship contender, heading into 2009-10, which star do we see getting his fifth ring first?

Each owns sound arguments in their favor.

Bryant, arguably, is on the best team. He has the best supporting unit in the game. He's a month removed from picking up that fourth ring, and despite his 30 (soon to be 31) years of age, he's hardly on the downside of his career. In fact, he's peaking, and he's got a Pau Gasol(notes) on his side. To say nothing of a Phil Jackson, and a competitive spirit that few in NBA history can match.

His former teammate, the loquacious Mr. O'Neal, is on the downside of his career. And though his new team in Cleveland can't boast the sort of depth Kobe can rely on from teammates 1-through-15, O'Neal does get to play second fiddle to the best player in the game. And Shaq, as is his custom, won't let that fact go unmentioned. Over, and over, again.

There are several rumors going around as well that the Mavs will sign Marcin Gortat in maybe a 3-5 year deal.
Therefore Dampier will be expendable, a trade with Detroit for Hamilton will be the move Cuban will take into consideration.
Along with Stack's expiring contract the Mavs may still have one move left to fill their holes.

The Celtics may have gone out with a coup de grace to entice rasheed, but i personally think that eventually he would choose San Antonio since he is more guaranteed to start and play a more significant role in the Spurs' campaign. Come to think of it, Rasheed is such a proud veteran who may not agree with the idea of coming off the bench for Kendrick Perkins. Besides, the league would be better served if TD21 is flanked alongside Rasheed, giving the Spurs a better shot at spoiling the Lakers.

I also think that the Cavs should also agressively go after 'Sheed. Cleveland's weakest spot is the PF position, and getting 'Sheed would definitely change all that. Imagine a frontline of 'Sheed and Shaq! Forget about their ages, they're still formidable both individually and combined. But the Cavs should now forego of Ilgauskas and try retaining Andy Varejao. With Shaq around, Ilgauskas is now expendable as he might not be receptive with the idea of subbing for Shaq after years of playing as the Cav's starting center. Why not work a sign and trade for 'Sheed using Z as one of the baits? I dont know how it can possibly work.

late na late na ko sa balita

magic na ba talaga si VC?

pahingi naman ng link,.

dami ko back read wala ako nakitang link

""whooooops?pero IMO in the end pipirma din si hedo"

sayang kala ko matutuloy!

hai, ang gulo nitong isa natoh..


Eto may bago about Hedo:

Turkoglu had agreed on a five-year, $50 million deal with the Blazers, but changed his mind and could be headed for a five-year, $56 million deal with the Raptors. Toronto would have to renounce three free agents – Shawn Marion(notes), Carlos Delfino(notes) and Anthony Parker(notes) – to create the cap space for Turkoglu.
LINK

I guess it was a blessing in disguise for Portland after all..i don't think spending that much for Turk is worth it considering he is already 30..The RAptors are the ones in need of HEdo so i guess Hedo's decision to sign with them is good...

pasensya na pare tao lang at nagkakamali din kahit san talaga may kritiko!magbigay ka ng opinyon pupunahin ka...well sori nalang ulit ha!hindi sa galit ako pero sana respetuhan nalang wag na punahin kung may nagawa man mali..alam ko naman kasing ako ang nagsabi ng mga yan(yung mga na quote mo)

in-topic..
ok sori ulit sa ibang kritiko jan about hedo sa cavs na nasign na pala ng raps or nabigyan ng deal...

-----

salamat sir jeps..

t-mac and VC already have 2 teams in common...
sana magkasama pa ulit sila sa isang team bago matapos ang career nila.

VC had a healthy season last year, finaly since 2001...
sana maging maganda pa rin kundisyon ng katawan nya next season

32 pa lang naman siya..
kaya pa yan

here's something new...

Utah Jazz talked Kirilenko for McGrady trade
LINK

The Jazz, it's been learned and confirmed, engaged in recent trade talk with the Houston Rockets about a possible deal that would have brought seven-time NBA All-Star swingman Tracy McGrady to Utah for small forward Andrei Kirilenko.
-----------------

if the Jazz would agree to this deal, that would be purely for saving money for the next 2 years as AK47 is under contract til 2011. still their major concern is TMac's health issues.

as for Ariza, i've read somewhere that the Cavs reached out to him and offered the exact same thing as the Rockets had, 5 years at the mid-level which would be around $33M. i wonder how come Trevor chose Houston over Cleveland if it would be of the same contract?

-----

we are all WADEnesses!!!

^^parehas kasi sila ng pwesto ni lbj... di gaya sa houston pwedi siyang maging starter/primary sf ng rockets

-----

sana naman mapakinabangan na si McGrady, grabe sayang talent nya... Sana makabalik siya tulad ni K Mart.. (tama ba same sila ng injury ni K Mart?)

Ok lang na hindi nakuha ng Cavs si Ariza or Artest, si Sheed talaga target ng Cavs, hahaha, sana magkatotoo na

-----
“A dog is not considered a good dog because he is a good barker. A man is not considered a good man because he is a good talker.”

^^^si Sheed ba pareng Yayay? e kung ganon bakit according sa mga lumalabas, ni hindi pa ata kino-contact ng Cavs si Sheed or his agent?

as for Artest not going to the Cavs, si RonRon na sana ang magiging way for LBJ to be moved to the starting PF spot IMO. unfortunately, RonRon with his usual big mouth has made a comment that he's not considering the Cavs as a championship team. di pa man nagsisimula ang season, bumanat na ng trash talking si Ron.
