Miami and the Lakers will be undoubtley get the maximum 34 nationally televised games. The Heat open their season in Boston against the Celtics. The last games of the playoffs for both LeBron James, and Dwayne Wade took place in Boston, how fitting.

Chris Paul wants out!

After the whirlwind of free agency has finally died down, the New Orleans Hornets All-Star point guard Chris Paul is concerned with his teams current situation. “He wants out,” a source told CBS Sports. “He wants to play with another superstar. He wants to follow LeBron’s model of teaming up with other great players.”
CBS Sports reports that the point guard would prefer getting traded to the New York Knicks, the Orlando Magic or the Los Angeles Lakers. It added that if Paul has his way, he’s played his last game in a Hornets jersey.
Paul still has two years left on his contract, but he has voiced to the Hornets that if the team can’t put a competitive team on the court, he wants out, and who can blame him. The Hornets have hired a new coach, Monty Williams, a new general manager in Dell Demps, and now huge crisis is already upon them. Hornets have started a youth movement around Marcus Thornton and Darren Collison, who flourished as rookies amidst all the injuries last season. David West and Emeka Okafor are solid big men, and James Posey, and Peja Stojakovic are still good contributors. With a healthy Chris Paul the Hornets could challenge for one of the bottom 4 playoff spots, but a championship is out of the question.

Memphis Grizzlies agree with Rudy Gay on 5-year max contract. The Grizzlies appear to really, really, really want Gay. This offer should make it hard for other teams to even glance at Gay.

The Atlanta Hawks offered Joe Johnson 6 years, and $119 million dollars. Joe Johnson vanished from the Hawks in the Playoffs last year, and lashed out at Hawks fans for their criticism of his poor play. Owners are quick to complain about player salaries, but are quick to deal out ridiculous contracts.
“““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““
It would appear the Milwaukee Bucks have some deep pockets, or a limited intelligence. Either way the Bucks are looking to expound on their success from last year:
Adrian Wojnawroski is reporting that Drew Gooden has signed a five-year, $32 million dollar deal with the Milwaukee Bucks. WOW!
Bucks have also re-signed John Salmons for $39 million over five seasons.
“““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““
Los Angeles Lakers report the signing of a mega free agent Phil Jackson. “Count me in,” said Jackson. “After a couple weeks of deliberation, it is time to get back to the challenge of putting together a team that can defend its title in the 2010-11 season. It’ll be the last stand for me, and I hope a grand one.”
A member of the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame, Jackson established a new Lakers franchise record for regular season victories earlier this year, earning his 534th career victory with a win over the Charlotte Hornets on February 3. The fastest coach to 1,000 career victories, his total of 1,098 regular season wins ranks him fifth all-time while his .705 winning percentage is the best in league history. Additionally, Jackson ranks first all-time in NBA postseason history with a .697 winning percentage (225-98). His 225 playoff victories are also the highest postseason win total for any head coach in league history.

I’m not a fan of athletes or actors rapping, but Ron Artest does a good job spitting the lyrics to his new song “Champions” at Big Boy’s Neighborhood! (Beamer Benz Or Bently Freestyle). I promise this is the last Ron Artest post for awhile unless he does something crazy at the parade.

NBA Finals: Game 7 Recap!

The NBA got what it wanted, a seventh game in the Finals between the leagues two most cherished franchises. Kobe Bryant, the Finals MVP, scored 23 points despite 6-of-24 shooting, and the Lakers won their 16th NBA championship Thursday night, dramatically rallying from a fourth-quarter deficit to beat the Celtics 83-79 in Game 7 of the NBA Finals.
Pau Gasol had 19 points, and 18 rebounds. Ron Artest added 20 points, 5 steals and was by far the MVP of Game 7. He held Paul Pierce to 5 of 15 shooting.
The first half was overwhelmed by each teams defense as the Celtics committed 8 turnovers and were out-rebounded on the offensive glass 15 to 2. The Lakers shot 26.5% in the first half and Ron Artest lead all scores with 12, and the score was 40-34. Los Angeles had the worst NBA Finals shooting percentage for a winning team in the shot-clock era.(32.5%)
Paul Pierce had 18 points and 10 rebounds for the Celtics, who just couldn’t finish the final quarter of a remarkable playoff run after a fourth-place finish in the Eastern Conference. Kevin Garnett added 17 points and Rasheed Wallace had 11.
Rajon Rondo finished 2 boards shy of his third triple double of the playoffs with 14 points, 10 dimes, and 8 boards.
Exactly two years to the day after Boston beat the Lakers by 39 points to clinch the 2008 title, Los Angeles got revenge for perhaps the most embarrassing loss of Bryant’s career.
The Lakers will hold a parade Monday, with the team riding floats from Staples Center down Figueroa Street to the USC campus in downtown Los Angeles. A rally at the Coliseum last year attracted 95,000 fans, but the Lakers are skipping the arena in favor of a more interactive celebration, the team said.
