The 10-man rotation, starring Shaq's press conference

By J.E. Skeets


A look around the league and the web that covers it. It's also important to note that the rotation order and starting nods aren't always listed in order of importance. That's for you, dear reader, to figure out.

C: Waiting For Next Year. "This surely wasn't your father's press conference."
PF: Sports Radio Interviews. Richard Jefferson(notes) hints that Jason Kidd(notes) will sign with the Knicks.
SF: Steady Burn. Ricky Davis(notes) cracks Mike's "Top Five 'Hot Dog' Athletes" list.
SG: Celtics Hub. "I really hope Leon Powe(notes) knows how much Celtics fans like him and will miss him."
PG: Khandor's Sports Blog. Hedo Turkoglu(notes) is not the answer for what ails the Raptors.
6th: Doug Smith, Toronto Star. Jose Calderon(notes) and Chris Bosh(notes) take their game to Spain.
7th: The Blowtorch. A brief recap of the No. 32 jersey throughout Clippers history.
8th: NBA FanHouse. Ten players, under the age of 30, that are fighting for their NBA lives.
9th: Blazers Blog. Greg Oden(notes) gets an 'A-plus' in summer workouts.
10th: DMN. Eddie Sefko reports that the Dallas Mavericks have made an offer to Marcin Gortat(notes).

    Hedo's not the right fit for any team at $9+ million per year, and especially not the Blazers.
    I'm not going to stop voicing my opposition to Portland acquiring him until he's locked up elsewhere.
    Boo, KP, boooo!

    You can hate on Shaq all you want but he does add a little to Cavs for Lebron. Does not mean that the players around those two won't choke like this year AND the year before that.

    For Portland, it would be sweet if Artest went there. Defend Kobe and allow Brandon Roy to do the rest. And stop shooting so much ( Artest, that is)

    Shaq was great in Los Angeles, but if Shaq couldn’t get along with Kobe!!!! Could you imagine LeBron and his ego!!! They are either going to be a pair of goofy fools or they will end up fighting for attention!!!

    That's a great self-referential photo of Shaq and Danny Ferry (I had the original on my blog for a long time, still makes me laugh)

    I am happy for Shaq (Big Man). How old do you have to be to play in the NBA 19? or is that just for U.S.A born players (the one and done) college recruit. Ricky Rubio 18 so why did Brandon Jennings needed The European Experiment the NBA's one and done rule by skipping out on college or was he 17?

    since this is about Shaq. Shaq was once a Laker. Therefore the Lakers will repeat!

    Man, I'm a Shaq fan, but I believe he's going to slow down Cleveland. If he can help bring a championship to Cav's, I'm all for it. It remains to be seen.

    The Cav's are doomed if they don't get some more help than Shaq. Im really surprised other big named free agents don't want to play with Lebron. This is rediculous. I would rather play with Lebron than Kobe. The talent in the NBA can't be that slow. Amare, Bosh, Wade, Artest, Ariza, Hamilton and Vince WTF? Cav's need a big shooting guard 6'6 and up that can play defense and shoot or drive. All these other teams are making real moves and all the Cav's executives can come up with Shaq and this empty promises! At least look in another country and try to find a Ginobli type. Surprise somebody Ferry please. I can't bear to watch Lebron one of the NBA's real greatest talents next to Mike and Kobe go his whole career without a ring. I would be furious, wait I am now.

    Everyone the Cavs show interest in signes with another team, at this point we will be stuck with someone no one really knows. This is not good

    People don't want to play with LeBron because they all know that he's jetting outta there 2010. he could've done the right/smart thing by verbally confirming his committment to Cleveland, but that's WAY too mature for him. Ending the drama this early would stop making people pay attention to him and his monumental ego.
    It'd be a shame if he never got a ring, but I wouldn't be surprised~
