Smoove messing with Bibby during a timeout. Hi-larious.

(Ed. Note: This seems more like a paper seller more than hard and fast. When is the last time something this big came out this early and correctly? But at the same time, well, damn. That is interesting.)
Found from here at SB Nation...

Key quote...
There is a growing sentiment among opposing team executives that at the very least the Knicks will sign Atlanta's Joe Johnson, whose agent, Arn Tellem, orchestrated the Tracy McGrady trade to the Knicks and has been friends with Walsh for 20 years. It's called a "wink-wink deal," and even though it is against NBA rules, the practice does exist and is nearly impossible to police.

"I think that's a done deal," said one Eastern Conference GM.

If it is the Knicks, could we work a sign and trade? Maybe take Toney Douglas to compete as a young PG and Eddy Curry's salary as he would come off the books next summer and open a lot of cap room between him and Crawford? Maybe make them include Sergio Rodriguez for Bibby?

I'm liking what ya'll got going on in the ATL!

(Ed. Note: Have not seen the game yet so a recap might not come, but Golden State of Mind is the best. And seriously how good is Stephen Curry? Not as Good as Josh and Al, but still leaves room for him to be awesome. Kind of wish he was playing in the Southern Conference tourney today.)

List of winners (Wade, LeBron, the Mavs) and losers (Kobe, Gerald Wallace, NBA fans) from All-Star Weekend.

Must Read.

I think while we're all jousting on whether the Hawks should pay max for Joe, I think this new CBA will change the outlook on the upcoming free agent (lottery of lebron). Player's dramatic decrease in percentage of revenue and length of contracts. Here's also some FAQ about the CBA
