the importance of Zo is shaping the East
- As the off-season dust begins to settle the Champion Miami Heat see nothing wrong with the team, Zo it zeems that, Zo will be brought back to Miami to groom Barron/Doleac and sub for Shaq when he goes down.
- After re-signing Drew Gooden the Cavaliers only had room to resort to Scott Pollard as a back up plan to Ilgauskas who despite Varejao's presence will be slated to go down at some point this season.
- While the Chicago Bulls are banking on a tandem of Schenscher and 7'2 Andriuskevicius to replace either Sweetney, P.J. Brown and "Big" Ben Wallace up front.
- The Mavericks have gone an ocean rescue mission and signed players who were still in limbo, notably;
- NBDL'er former T-Wolves project Ndudi Ebi
- St. Joseph's...Pat Carroll
- two undrafted small guards NorthEastern's 5'11 Jose Bareas and Memphis' 6'2 Darius Washington
- Ricky Davis visits his native Las Vegas and all the Las Vegas Review Journal can''t help but remind us the Ricky Davis in 2003:
"while with the Cavaliers, Davis deliberately shot
at the wrong basket with five seconds to play
in a lopsided game, hoping to grab a 10th rebound,
which he thought would have given him his first
career triple-double. But Davis was fouled on the play,
and the aftermath of his actions made him
the target of criticism from coast to coast"

- Harrington himself has completed the sin-and trade (not a typo) and has called off the return trade to Indiana (a familiar place and a situation he understood), after not feeling the love $vibe$ like he was from other pursuers,
and these other teams are really interested"
now will it come back to haunt him? Or will he find the right mix somewhere else? Four teams are apparently in the bidding for his services:
" At least two of the teams, Golden State and Denver,
are believed to be willing to discuss
six-year deals in the $60 million-to-$65 million range,
which would net Harrington $10 million or more per season"
"The Pacers, armed only with a $7.5 million trade
exception, could offer Harrington a starting salary of only $7.6 million"
