Apparently the coaching staff is giving JJ Hickson a chance to win the starting PF job, so Varejao can go back to being the spark off the bench and play over 20 minutes off the bench. According Mo on twitter (yea i know, lame lol) he is motivated.
At least Hickson won't have to focus on getting Delonte's donuts anymore. Jim Rome FTMFW

According to a report from ESPN's Bill Simmons, the Houston Rockets attempted to cover up much of Ron Artest's unique behavior during the 2008-09 season.

Artest nearly missed Game 7 of their series against the Lakers.

Artest missed the first two team buses (the ones for players, coaches and team personnel) from Houston's hotel to the Staples Center and barely made the third and final bus, which was reserved for business staff, sponsors and friends of the team. These stunned people watched Artest sprint to the bus right before it left, jump on and take one of the remaining seats ... yes, wearing only his underwear. Owner Leslie Alexander happened to be sitting on the bus and witnessed the whole thing. And you wonder why the Houston Rockets didn't make any effort whatsoever to bring back Artest.

Simmons writes that Artest made a habit of walking around in public in his underwear during his Houston tenure.

Honestly, who doesn't walk around in public with just their skibbies on?
I thought that was normal..

I found it funny how last year people still questioned him during the LA series, about being a lunatic, a nut, etc.. and as soon as he went to LA, everyone started saying how he never acted up.

The Hornets and Bobcats are in advanced discussions on a trade that would send center Tyson Chandler to Charlotte in exchange for Emeka Okafor, according to NBA front-office sources.

The trade could have more components in its finished form.

Sources close to the process said talks featuring Chandler and Okafor have been ongoing since late last week.

I wanted Emeka in Detroit :(

Rumor is Hilton Armstrong will be shipped to Memphis, but for who? Personally, I hope it's Hakim Warrick.

lol at the lakers investing all that money in a injury prone center.


BTW Sixers are finally rumored to be interested in tinsley and bobby jackson and Carlos arroyo. Id prefer Tinsley and arroyo over jackson though.
