Clearing Cap for 2010

This year the trade made were basically about freeing money up for the 2010 free agent class. The Knicks, Nets, Clippers, Bulls have an unlimited charge card to give one maybe two players this off-season. Let's examine the players traded from Thursday:

• Nate Robinson to Celtics - Knicks dumped Nate for a chance at LBJ on 7/1. Great pickup for Boston as he provides instant offense.
• Tracy McGrady - Headache in the Rockets front office but another smart move by the Knicks as they continue to dump salary after this season. Scored 26 in his Knick debut.
• Tyrus Thomas - I believe Larry Brown will turn this guy into a player. Tar Heels can work miracles.
• John Salmon - Good move by my Bulls to dump this guy. Milwaukee can have him
• Antwan Jamison - Tar Heel was the missing piece to get LBJ into the finals.
• Marcus Camby - Great pickup by Portland as they need a legit center until Greg Oden returns.
• Sebastian Telfair - 2004 was a long time ago. Don't expect much from Bassy in Cleveland. 

Weekend Recap

Congrats to the Saints and Colts for their trip to Miami. I'm so proud of the Saints because I lived in New Orleans for 5 years while attending college. New Orleans will always be my second home. Bring the trophy back to Canal & Bourbon Street.
