Reports say that Wallace will be traded in the very near future.  Would he be a good fit for the dubs?  The guy is like a bigger JRich who could be traded for Al and pieces.  Would that be something that could benefit the dubs in any way?  They have enough swingmen, and Al has been a very valuable player. 

Would Wright Turiaf and Biedrins be able to hold it down on the inside?  Would Nelly play him at the 4 being so athletic?   He played Pietrus at the four and he was 6'6".

I just don't want to see an unhappy Al fail to produce for 20 more games until he realizes he's not going to be traded.  This is a very rare opportunity to get a great player.  Thoughts?

Marcus Williams sprained his ankle in the last day of practice.  Damn, I was excited to see Williams play in the pre-home-opener against "The Thunder".  He should be better by opening day if its just a sprain though.

Rob Kurtz is the "best rookie" Nelson says.  Rebounds, good bball IQ, has highest rebound average in camp.  Here's a link to his college stats, which are impressive:

The game against New Orleans is not televised or on the radio.  Not sure if there will be a stream online.  Any knowledge?

Final interviews and articles. 

Seems the starting lineup is:

Watson

Jax

Mags

TMNT

Beans

I like it.  C.J. is said to be looking good.  Further though the article on TMNT is similar to the positive response he was getting at this exact time last year, it feels good to hear good things.

Just an update of Traing camp:

-Monta arrives and is interviewed.  Thoughts by SJax.

"Going wait 'til [his] agent addresses the team"-Monta

What the heck does that mean?  Is he not going to personally apologize to his teammates?  What is he waiting for?

I think part of his punishment should be to take some college courses while he's not training.  Mainly English and Ethics.  Give this boy some gramma, and teach 'im what right and what wrong.  It was nice to have Baron, (UCLA), doing a lot of interviews because he could articulate himself a little. 

Also there's a nice bit about AB, and how far he has come to become a co-captain.

Also here's a piece about Jackson still talking about being "taken care of" with a new contract.

Now that the MBL has instituted video playback to verify home runs and such, NBA fans are waiting for technology to help officials make the right choices.
