Headlining: Basketball

• Welcome back, Sasha! The Machine has agreed to a 3-year $15 million deal. Long enough to earn him 3 rings.
  

• I don’t know what’s wrong with the NBA, but they love Maurice Evans. After a reported $6.4 million offer from Golden State, the highly-desperate Atlanta is close to signing Evans.
  

• Depression and injury is disastrous for any professional sports player, so what happens after Dwyane Wade gets depressed from all his injuries? He gets fat.
  

• The new Oklahoma City franchise will be named either the Barons, Bison, Energy, Marshalls, Thunder, or Wind. Congratulations OKC, you have great young talent and a horrific future name. I personally vote for Thunder Cats.

Headlining: Basketball

• Josh Childress, formerly of the Atlanta Hawks, has chosen to leave behind the glamour of dubs and NBA basketball for gyros and Euro-ball.

• The Utah Jazz and LA Clippers have exchanged backup point guards, swapping Brevin Knight for Jason Hart.

• Minnesota has signed Sebastian Telfair to a potential three year deal. Is this undersized street-baller the perfect complement to this up and coming squad?

• After a superb season with the Warriors a year ago and the recent passing of his mother, will Matt Barnes be able to thrive in Phoenix?

• In Golden State's attempt to completely overhaul their lineup, the Warriors will compliment the shoot-first Monta Ellis with Marcus Williams in exchange for a future first-round pick. Too bad for New Jersey, the pick is lottery protected.

• GS also made a $6.4 million offer to the super-athletic super-untalented Maurice Evans.
