Bill Simmons is right on the money (pun intended) again. It’s a great read and you should check it out here.
Nelson Laut likes all sports like the NBA, MLB, NFL, NHL. Heck Nelson Laut evens likes ultimate frisby. Wait why am I talking in third person? Anyhoo, this page is just a way for me to share my love for the world of sports.
Got a question? Drop me a line!

From Grantland: The Thunder Need to Pay James Harden

From Yahoo!: Terrell Owens tells the NY Jets via Twitter "I'm Available!"
Just quit Terrell! No one wants you anymore in the NFL and I don’t even think the CFL wants you either. You were once a great talent but your attitude overshadowed it tremendously. Just quit while you’re not ahead.

CelticsBlog.com: Darko Milicic Headed To Boston
As a Celtic fan, I don’t know what to think about this. I think as long as the Celtics sign him for the veteran-minimum deal then there’s no harm in that. I expect him to be the best bench warmer in the NBA but then again he’ll find way to mess that up too

Espn: Andrei Kirilenko finalizing two-year deal to play for Wolves
Minnesota Timberwolves GM David Kahn is just signing players left and right. Andrei Kirilenko is a very good player and his Euro style of play will work well with Ricky Rubio. The Wolves will be an exciting team to watch purely for the talent that they’ve signed and whether or not it’ll be a good or completely horrible and disorganized team.

Chicago Bulls don't match Omer Asik offer from Houston Rockets
The bulls did the right thing by not agreeing to that poison pill contract for Omer Asik. Something tells me that these kind of contracts will be the norm for most of the new contracts in the next off-season.
Contracts like these seem like a double edged sword - for example, Asik’s deal has the first couple of years with a reasonable price (around $5 million each) which helps potential teams stay under the cap but that final year of $15 million will absolutely kill the future cap and make that player virtually unmovable unless you buy them out (see Rashard Lewis).
Still the Chicago Bulls did a good thing by not keeping him and keeping their cap ok. Good luck Omer Asik! Good luck finding a point guard like Derrick Rose and two bigs like Carlos Boozer and Joakim Noah that’ll get your back when stronger and faster bigs in the Western Conference are beating you down in the post.

Los Angeles Lakers looking at Antawn Jamison, Elton Brand and Jermaine O'Neal for roster additions
I can see why the Lakers are looking to ad Jamison and Brand, but Jermain O’Neal has only been able to hold down the bench seat that he’s been sitting on the for the past two years due to injury. I think all three men are willing to take the minimum to play for a ring but if the Lakers had their choise I’d go with Jamison or Brand. O’Neal is just too much of a waste of bench space.

Indiana Pacers To Match Roy Hibbert's Offer from the Portland Trail Blazers
Good move by Indiana to keep Hibbert on the Pacers. I don’t know if $58 million dollars is a good deal but keeping a solid 7 footer with good upside I guess is a steal.
