The Dribble

Beginning to get a feeling that the player agents are pulling some strings when we start hearing of stories like:

• Mike Bibby's shape-up in Sacramento check out Sactown Royalty's assessment

• Josh Howard's community benefits
  

• Desmond Mason's "jerky hitch that defined [his] jump shot last season is a thing of the past"

• Al Harrington's trade followed by and his massage
  

as they try to stay out of trouble because they are not participating in the World's
who you can bet is breathing a huge sigh of relief as Tony's gonna be OK
