The Orlando Magic made a big splash on December 22 by acquiring the aged point guard Gilbert Arenas and the three point marksmen Turkuglo from the Wizards and Suns respectfully. These players add a different dynamic to an already talented team of outside shooters. Arenas adds veteran leadership with a dash of a true shooter and energy off the bench. This is a new role for Arenas, he is used to being “The Man” with the Wizards and was playing well.
This is what The Magic really need because they …
Last week, I interviewed Dennis Velasco of NetsareScorching of ESPN’s True Hoop Sector to not only ignite the knowledge of you, the fans, but myself as well because God knows I need it.

Also, this is unfair to Philadelphia. This team is going to make it to the playoffs with a better …
The following is simply opinion on trade rumors given by various sources, specifically ESPN
With the Melodrama heating up in New York and Minnesota, some speculation is in order. Denver has yet to speak on the matter while both Minnesota and New York have stated the speculated trade of New York getting Carmelo Anthony, Minnesota receiving Eddy Curry and Anthony Randolph, and Denver receiving Wilson Chandler, Corey Brewer, and Minnesota’s 2011 first round draft pick is extremely out of context.

Rookie Rankings: Week 14
ESPN made an interesting remark about Blake Griffin stating there should be a separate reward for just him because the rest of the race is wide open.
Now, as the year is coming closer to the end (I’m exaggerating), how does one value a rookie? Do you consider a contribution to a winning team is the defining factor or is it just a numbers game? If it is the formal, than Brandon Jennings should have won last season, but since it is all about …
For a year and a half now, I have bored you with my opinion of the game, sorrowed with uninspired swagger. Well, I am tired of it. I know you are too.

In my quest for an experienced and intelligent NBA blogger, Dennis Velasco of …
