Keith Van Horn is a free agent and has received offers, but he wants a multi-year deal. Nobody's offered one yet and he's been saying that he'll consider retirement if he doesn't get one.\n\nLatrell Sprewell basically screwed himself with his "Feed my Family" contract holdout. He basically blackballed himself out of the NBA. He was already slowing down. He'll still give you 100% effort-wise, but his jumper and D have been dropping off since his last All-Star appearance. ESPN reported earlier this week in it's Insider section that he's retiring or at least thinking about it.\n\nDoug Christie is shopping a reality show and is trying to come back. He has a bad back and hurt his defense. That was his meal ticket and he'll have trouble getting back, but it's been rumored that some teams were looking at him.\n\nBryant Reeves aka Big Country retired due to chronic back problems. He's was looking into coaching or training according to an interview he gave a few years ago. He vanished after that.\n\nJ.J. Redick is having back spasms, but is going to see some time when he's recovered. The Magic are up and coming and J.J. was penciled in to come off the bench. With his shooting, he will play, guaranteed.

i hate to sound mean but they really arent that good, sure they may contend in their division, or to at least make the playoffs, but reality check...spurs, suns, mavs. not to mention the eastern conference...cavs, pistons, heat. but give it some time they might make a run and get some pub on espn, but as far as abc, forget about it unless they are playing one of the aforementioned teams who will draw the ratings.

Isiah is on a roll, he tried to ruin the Raptors then undid all of Lary Bird's work with the Pacers he then took time out to bankrupt the Continental Basketball Assoc so now he is in the big apple to finish off the Knickerbockers. One question, does he have incriminating pictures of someone or is he like Felix the cat with 9 lives. And they wonder why the USA never let him on the Dream Team's, simple he is a nightmare.

Heres a summary\n\n\nDALLAS -- They had the start they wanted. They had the tempo they wanted. They even had an all-night look at the Dirk Nowitzki they dreamed of. \nThe Miami Heat had lots of what they wished for Thursday night in Game 1 of the NBA Finals. \n \n\nWhich is why they had to have serious regrets at night's end. \n\n"They looked awesome early on," Nowitzki said. "I thought they had everything going." \n\nNot everything, perhaps, but Miami had an undeniably precious opportunity to steal the series opener here, largely because Nowitzki had a serious nightmare. \n\nHe was admittedly nervous on the big stage. He was, in turn, passive. Nowitzki was also roughed up by the better-than-billed Miami defensive tandem of Udonis Haslem and James Posey, whose combined aggressiveness and physicality ushered Nowitzki to a stunning conclusion. \n\nZero points in the fourth quarter. \n\nOf course, with Miami outscoring Nowitzki by only 12 in that quarter, it cannot be recorded as a historic achievement for the Heat. \n\nIt goes down instead as a 90-80 defeat and a considerable missed opportunity, given that Nowitzki missed 10 of 14 shots and finished with just 16 points ... or 34 points shy of the 50 he had in his last game here. \n\n"We had the opportunity that we wanted," Haslem said. "We just didn't do what we were supposed to do." \n\nThe Heat had more than a mere opportunity. \n\nThey had the look of vets who had been here before, even though Shaquille O'Neal and Gary Payton were the only Miami rotation players with NBA Finals experience before this Game 1. \n\nThey had Nowitzki flummoxed and Josh Howard equally discombobulated, too. It was tough to tell, honestly, which of the hosts' two steadiest players looked shakier. ("If you would have told me that Josh and myself would go 7-for-28 [from the field] and we win this game," Nowitzki said, "I wouldn't have believed it.") \n\nThe Heat showed a worldwide audience a lot of the newfound unity and discipline that made them the best in the East, to the point that they even had O'Neal jumping out hard on pick-and-rolls to further discourage Dallas. \n\nThe problem? \n\nMiami's mistakes were fatal. \n\nOnly two Heaters got to the line all evening and one of them -- Shaq -- missed his first eight free throws. (Shaq missed his first 10, really, if you count the two misses waved off for lane violations). \n\nThe Heat also failed to build on an early 11-point lead when Heat coach Pat Riley's gamble to spare O'Neal from a third foul backfired. Riley sat O'Neal for the final two minutes of the second quarter, after Shaq's second foul, and Dallas capitalized with the final seven points of the half . . . helped along by Miami's six straight empty possessions. \n\nThose boosts were all Dallas needed, even with Nowitzki in a stunningly ineffective state given his new playoff standards. That's because their defense stiffened in the fourth, nudging Miami into its own funk from the perimeter. \n\nBut that's also because these Mavs don't fold easy, no matter what's happening with Nowitzki. As proven more than once in the seven-game epic against their longtime tormentors from San Antonio, Avery Johnson's Mavs can win these kinds of grinding playoff games. \n\nWhat kind? \n\n"Ugly and sloppy," Riley said. \n\nNowitzki, strangely, was at the forefront of it all. It was the last thing you expected, frankly, with Dwyane Wade in town to engage him in the definitive duel for unquestioned King of the Playoffs. The role in Nowitzki's struggles played by Haslem and Posey (and their double-team helpers) can't be discounted. Those two invalidated the considerable pregame skepticism about their ability to stay with Nowitzki and pushed right up on him. Nowitzki responded with passivity as opposed to rim-attacking aggression and even his few jumpers that dropped loo

No, Kobe won't want to share the spotlight.  Garnet will end up in the east somewhere.  Wouldn't be surprised to see him in Orlando actually.  They did clear out some salary before the trade deadline in the trade with the Knicks.  I think, with a couple other moves, that it could work.

To Batmen:\n\n   I happened to have had the pleasure of seeing Len Bias play in person at Cole Field House while I was living at the DC area at the time. He was incredible. He could simply take over the game with his shotmaking and impressive dunks..and he played defense real well too. He may not have played a single nba game but i assure you had he lived his impact on the game would have been tremendous. In a way there is some basis for thinking of his demise as a curse. The celtics won a championship in every decade till that point (50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s). They have not made the finals since 1987. They're one shot was the Tim Duncan draft year but they didnt luck out in getting the top pick in in the lottery.This is the longest drought in celtics history in terms of championships and it all started with the death of Bias. If you want to interpret it as a curse of the Bias legacy it wont be far off the truth. Dont disrespect Bias? Oh pleeeze the guy threw his life away on a cocaine binge. If he deserves respect for that then please join Osama and his mindless minions. And don't blame Ainge for their troubles. Given what he has to deal with Danny has done a decent job
