(via the CB forums):
"Some of the talk in Orlando had C.J. Miles as a player of interest on the Jazz's roster, with a half-dozen teams apparently having inquired about Miles, including Toronto, Boston and New Jersey. Miles cannot be traded without his consent through July 25, the one-year anniversary of the Jazz's decision to match the offer sheet Miles signed with Oklahoma City. " - Salt Lake Tribune

very interesting discussion of the KG injury on Bill Simmons' latest podcast. KG's has an obscure/rare knee injury but not necessarily any more or less damaging than other injuries. Will Carrol - the guest - says there *is* a possibility that it can simply heal up, meaning he could still play, which is why KG/Celtics are just waiting till the Celtics are eliminated for surgery. It would just push back surgery/recovery 4-5 weeks.

Sobering look at the financial future of the NBA. While it's been reported that the Celtics were one of the teams that took the loan money, I also think Ainge understands better than some/most GMs the changing nature of NBA finances and will put the C's in a position to take advantage of the changed landscape.

Don't know how the lockout will fix things, but that it may/will happen sounds (sadly) inevitable.

Suprising, or should I say disappointing, to see Philly listed in the teams that might relocate. I agree with Simmons' point (made elsewhere) that once you win a title you can't relocate.

• I'm also told that Sacramento will be releasing Mikki Moore after the Kings were unable to include him in any trades before the deadline. Given the leaguewide need for big men, there figures to be a fair bit of interest in Moore once he clears waivers. Expectation is high that he will wind up in Boston, reports ESPN The Magazine's Ric Bucher.

Nice look at what coulda been with the Suns, including an unintended look at how the C's benefitted.
