Ladies and Gents, the crazy, constantly entertaining 2010 offseason is over. It was filled with moments of brilliance, stupidity, and what the hell were they thinking. It proved to live up to all of the hype, even if some players didn’t go to teams I wanted them to go to. I’m a Knicks fan, enough said. Now the dust has settled and we are entertaining the ideas of preseason, hopes of glory, but pretty much setting up for extreme disappointment and anger. Again, I’m a …

But what if I told you there’s one team that may actually have gotten better without making any offseason moves at all? What if I told you a team that was 5th in their division last year could go to first this year without making any major adjustments? Who possibly could this team be you ask?

LBJ: The Decision and Opportunity

Disclaimer: The views and opinions in this article are solely those of myself, JB, and no other writer on the staff.
As a Nets season ticket holder I am disappointed that the New Jersey Nets lost out in the LeBron James sweepstakes.  I am not the hugest LBJ fan, but I have to admit that it would have been exciting to watch him play 41 times a year.  A lot of articles that have been circulating the web, newspapers, and magazines have been bashing “King James,” and they have every right. …
