SOme big trades this week, Gasol to the Lakers makes them an instant contender, Shaq traded for Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks. I get the feeling it could be a very busy deadline in a couple of weeks.

Both ridiculous trades.

The Lakers and Heat have pulled off amazing trades. Shaq can't jump, defend, shoot, dunk or anything whereas Marion is a very good player. If he is as bad a locker room influence as is made out then i'm sure they could have got a better trade.

Gasol is quality also as opposed to Kwame Brown going the other way.

The grizzlies have shedded alot of salary at the same time though.

Celtics still doing wel although the Pistons are procing a match for them. The Knicks are still comedy central.

I fancy the Celtics with Pierce and Garnett. Allen is having a good season too.

I'm a little bit miffed that Jose Calderon didn't make the coaches pick to play in the All Star game. He's one of the best PGs in the NBA right now - even the Yank sports shows are saying that and they never talk about Toronto or its' players.

Nice to see TJ Ford back in action for the Raps after a massive injury scare and a fairly long lay-off. I know that a repeat of Divisional Champs wont be on the cards this year but I reckon we're still on for a wild card spot.

Wasn't a done deal as of last night because one of the players being traded to NJ ( Devean George) has a no trade clause in his contract, which he activated. Can't see it blowing the deal, but it might take a bit longer to work out. Fortunately this didn't come out until late last night which worked well for us as NJ didn't play Kidd, thinking he was pretty much a Dallas player already. We then proceeded to wipe the floor with NJ.
