The NBA's Trade Deadline has come and gone this week. Usually during this time, teams are usually trying to acquire big names that will slingshot them into contention for the Finals. Yet this years goal was simple, get rid of those big contracts and in return get expiring ones. 2010's Free Agency list will include names such as Dwayne Wade, and Lebron James to be short without including talent like Chris Bosh or possibly Amare Stoudamire.  This week the Kings parted ways with Kevin Martin and were expected to be returned with Tracy Mcgrady. When Mcgrady's agent was not happy with where his client was going he vouched for a three team trade that included the Knicks, where Mcgrady eventually landed.

Q: Wait, so because Mcgrady's agent doesn't want him going to a place that hasn't been competitive since Bush Jr. was in his first term of presidency, we get left with nothing!? 

A: Were technically not being left with nothing here, in fact we should actually be THANKING the NBA Gods for once (still doesn't make up for the 02 series). Look, Mcgrady is slow, overweight and is as frail as a potato chip. He can't play above the rim anymore which leaves him with the somewhat mediocre jumpshot he always possesed. The guy got into the All Star Game this year in a voting process reminiscent of my high school class president race. Its not why we would not want Mcgrady but why would we ? 

Q: So now we have got rid of Kevin Martin, we put all our chips in the basket for Bosh or somebody big in Free Agency next year, or we get stuck with Tyreke forced to play one on five?

A: In the Movie Cadillac Records, Adrian Brody is sitting outside with his wife and baby daughter next to the record place he just built. He's put all his money into the place and when the wife nags him about being late on the mortage he says its going to work and when she asks him what if it doesn't he looks at her quaintly and says, "I won't let you down". He then procedes to spin the record outside the shop to distract the daughter and the mom. I feel like I'm the wife and our management is Brody, there is a great chance we will not land one of those premiere players in the offseason and the Maloofs are trying to say we can count on them. Really? Can we count on them knowing that a Arena deal isn't close to getting done? That our team will likely be in lottery contention this year? Yet in the meantime though, they have this wheel they're spinning outside to distract us called Tyreke Evans. The Kid is a bonafide superstar in the making  thats distracting us from another bad season. He has the body of a mack truck and can score at ease. I can only imagine what he'd be able to do with a Bosh in the post who is able to take pressure off of him. Ahhh to dream......(When you wish..upon a staaaaar.......makes no difference whoooooo youuu aaaaaaaare)
