NBA Chit Chat

• KG to the Celtics gets heated up
• Talks between the Celtics and T'Wolves are back on, and a deal is closer than ever. KG apparently liked the Celtics picking up Ray Allen enough to knock block a proposed trade. Last year Danny Ainge said the Celtics were an injury or two away from being a contender, but what he apparently meant to say was that they were a trade or two away. If this trade goes through, Paul Pierce would have received tons of help very quickly. Imagine teams in the Eastern conference trying to compete with the three headed monster of KG, Pierce, and Allen. KG would be the best power forward in the East, before he suits up, cause the East is lacking in good big men. Pierce and Allen are going to be dynamic on the perimeter, and even more so if KG is there to control the paint. Will there be enough shots for all of these guys to remain happy? I believe so, cause they have nobody else on the squad who really needs to score. There is the real question, what type of team will Danny Ainge assemble around these 3?
• How do you like your PG, spread out or smushed?
• Smush Parker joins the list of former Lakers to join the Heat, while badmouthing Kobe. Parker looks forward to playing with his new teammates; "D-Wade is more of a people person than Kobe". Parker was the Heat's last resort, after failing to get Maurice Williams, Steve Francis, and Juan Carlos Navaro. Parker is a solid guard, but does not exhibit the skills needed to be the point guard of a championship squad. Parker does however add to the athleticism of the squad, which was something Pat Riley wanted to do. The Heat still need help at the small forward spot, but it looks most likely that James Posey will be back. This is not a bad thing for the Heat, but they were hoping to add a 3rd stud to Wade and Shaq, and that is not Posey.
• With Jason Kidd and Kobe Bryant on team USA, I have a hard time seeing them lose this summer. Those 2 guys are leaders on the court and in the locker room, something that the previous squads were missing.
