Mega Trio In Miami - And New York?

Since Udonis Haslem too has decided to give up money and re-signed with the Miami Heat, we are almost 90% sure of what the Heat will look like when the regular season starts ...

PG: Mario Chalmers / Jason Williams / Carlos Arroyo?

In an attempt to save his job, the Toronto Raptors GM Brian Colangelo has decided to trade his entire team in hope to win some games next season. The Phoenix Suns have already agreed to trade Leandro Barbosa to the Raptors for disgruntled forward Hedo "nightclub" Turkoglu. He is now in discussion with the Charlotte Bobcats that will bring Boris Diaw and Tyson Chandler to Toronto in exchange for Jose Calderon and Reggie Evans ...

On a side note, the No. 1 overall draft choice in this year's draft John Wall had 18 points, 10 assists and 5 steals tonight after posting 24 and 8 in his first game ...
