Power Shuffle

... created, it might yield negligible impact on the East-West balance of power, which last year saw the West amass a plus- edge in interconference games with a - advantage. Amare Stoudemire went from Phoenix to New York and Carlos Boozer from Utah to Chicago, and while both make their new teams better, their old teams were hardly left crippled. We can all agree that Miami should be dramatically improved. But the Heat won games a year ago. Lets say they improve by wins to get to . That figures to be more than offset by Clevelands drop from wins and compounded by Torontos ... Read More »

... teams only have a limited amount of money they can spend on their players, obviously. They call it the salary cap and you know just as well as anyone who's heard of the NBA.

... the gym at : to work out. I got back to Sweden just two days ago from Portugal, where I spent five days with my family. I relaxed and had a good time, doing nothing. Just lay on the beach and eat good food with mom, dad and my sister. That was my vacation after playing for my Swedish national team in qualifying for the European Championship. It was fun. We were No. in the group. We lost one game, to Romania. I thought we should have won I thought we played terrible in that game. We should have beaten them by , but stuff happens. We had the same record, -, as both Romania and ... Read More »

... age. I had a daughter at a young age, so I had to grow up. Most importantly, I didnt take school so seriously when I was really little, so when I moved in with my stepmom, she guided me in the right way and here I am now. It was Diane McElhinney, the mother of one of Stuckeys varsity basketball teammates at Kentwood High in suburban Seattle, who reached out to Stuckeys single mother, Faye, and offered help in whatever fashion the Stuckey family needed it. Eventually, as Rodney and his older brother began spending more and more time hanging out with McElhinneys son, Matt Taller, and the ... Read More »

... good enough. My main thing was just coming in to training camp in better shape and just get a lot more shots up, he said. Pretty much what I have to worry about is making my shot more consistent. I think if I do that, Ill be fine. Stuckey two years ago was one of the stars of the U.S. Select team that helped the U.S. Olympic team in its run for the gold in Beijing and appeared on a course to be part of USA Basketball. Instead, with almost all of the Olympians taking the summer off, a group of young guards whose stock has surpassed Stuckeys in the eyes of USA Basketball helped ... Read More »

... is eager to challenge for a starting position when training camp begins. Jonas Jerebko endeared himself to John Kuester and his coaching staff last season with his relentless motor and wound up starting more games, , than any Piston. He followed up by starring for the Swedish national team this month in Eurobasket play, a pre-Olympic qualifier, averaging points and rebounds a game. That logically makes Jerebko the odds-on favorite to again start up front next to Ben Wallace. But Charlie Villanueva is going to training camp with the intention of winning the starting power ...

... to the AI move we bring in a superstar and if it works, great if not, we have cap space to work with next off-season. I also liken it to the Lakers acquisition of Pau Gasol a superstar who can be had for relatively cheap because he is going to bolt next season. Langlois: I dont see any team giving up what Denver will require in order to be persuaded to go ahead with dealing Anthony unless Denver first extends Anthonys contract. So I dont really think its analogous to the Iverson or Gasol deals. Even with Denver in somewhat of a distressed situation, the Nuggets should be able to ... Read More »

... the most intriguing Pistons headed into training camp. There's only one small caveat: They play the same position. But that's not such a bad thing. McGrady, , has shown he can play in this league. He's won multiple scoring titles and played exceptionally well in different systems, with various teams. He shouldn't feel the need to prove himself, but after microfracture surgery, the basketball equivalent to Tommy John surgery, he's in the same boat with Daye, who's nearly years his junior. Both are trying to prove they belong. "When you're in college, your goal is to get to the NBA," ... Read More »

... signed him. His attitude and confidence as well as his desire to work with Arnie Kander is awesome. I really think he will do well and, like he said, shock people. My question is if he does do really well, is it possible for Joe to re-sign him for the - season? Langlois: The current team always has the inside track, Naif. If McGrady does enough in a Pistons uniform to restore his market value, then its logical to assume both sides would have at least moderate interest in continuing the relationship. Its impossible to project how interested other teams would be in him. Because ... Read More »

... Twenty-ninth? Out of ? McGrady said, slack-jawed, a week after signing with the Pistons for the veterans minimum, when I told him of ESPNs projection for the Pistons. Wow! Really? Were going to surprise a lot of people. Thats all bull, anyway, those rankings. Thats insulting. If you look at the team they had last year, if those guys dont get injured, theyre a playoff team. Really? What are they looking at? And when McGrady says the team they had last year, what hes implying is that the team the Pistons will field in the coming season figures to better in large part because he fully ... Read More »

Coach Larry Brown likes long, athletic centers -- and reclamation projects.
