HOLY @$!# ! CARMELO ANTHONY?

This is huge people. The New Jersey Nets might get Carmelo Anthony, one of the best players in the league.

For clarity's sake, let's look at how the trade seems to stand:
Nets get Carmelo Anthony and possibly DJ Augustin
Nuggets get Derrick Favors, Andrei Kirilenko, and picks from (probably) Jersey
Bobcats get Devin Harris
Jazz get Boris Diaw

If you're ready and willing, here's that again with each player's current team:
Nets get Carmelo Anthony (Nuggets) and possibly DJ Augustin (Bobcats)
Nuggets get Derrick Favors (Nets), Andrei Kirilenko (Jazz), and picks from (probably) Jersey
Bobcats get Devin Harris (Nets)
Jazz get Boris Diaw (Bobcats)

Part 1: The Trade

Reports indicate that the Nets will lose Derrick Favors, their 2011 1st rounder, and Devin Harris. That's too much. It leaves them with a two-player core of S'Melo and Brooky BroPez (I'm sick of formula nicknames like KD, CP3 and D-Wade so this is my contribution) and no avenue for improvement. They can't sign anyone significant because they used their cap space on Anthony, they can't trade for anyone significant because they have no significant assets, and they can't draft anyone significant for another year because they don't have a 1st rounder. They will improve this year and stagnate next.

It's Just Too Much

Blogger's Note: LOOK AT ME, I POSTED AGAIN! WHOPPEEEEEEEE!

It seems like everywhere I turn, with every suggestion I make, I find calm and peaceful statements of “That’s too [adjective]” or “Let’s just sit and play video games/sit at a café/sit and watch a movie…” Sit        Sit        Sit. It’s calmly and peacefully driving me insane.

Subject: Lack of Posts

A quick excuse/apology to those who check this blog for updates: My responsibilities changed significantly this month and in re-balancing my schedule I have been neglecting to post. I've got a few posts I want to put up but haven't had time to finalize. Hopefully, one will be up this weekend and I will be more diligent in the future. We'll see.
