Big Trade

Well I guess no one appreciated my Ron Burgundy reference, that's okay though, I keep it classy.

Well the Mets have officially pulled out what the Yankees and Red Sox couldn't. The Mets have brought in possibly the best pitcher in baseball to their clubhouse. After a disappointing finish to last season after high expectations for the Mets, you can expect those expectations to remain as high or even higher for this season.

Having added that piece they were missing, a dominate left hand pitcher (no offense to Glavine, who is back with my Braves this season). I don't understand the Twins logic though. Get prospects from the Mets instead of proven players from the Yankees or Red Sox. Oh well, this just adds another piece to the National League that could improve their league as a whole.

I'm not a Mets fan, since they are in the Braves division, but they should clearly be the division favorite and even the league favorite this season. But you never know in baseball, after the young Rockies proved all the critics wrong last season.

Well, Lebron has clearly stated in the past that he would love to have Kidd as a teammate and he is at it again. Since Kidd has stated, again, that he wants to be traded from the Nets, Lebron has jumped to the mic saying he would love to have Kidd as a teammate.

I have to disagree with Lebron. I think Kidd is past his peak and only have a few years left to play and his contract is to expensive for the player that he is. On the other hand, it would probably help the Cavs as a team, which would be a good thing. But I think the Cavs could get another point guard in a trade if they wanted to. I don't see it happening though. Kidd is just to expensive for any teams to make a bite for him.

But over the next month before the trading deadline, we shall see what goes on.

Chris Webber is back in the league, after signing a one year contract to play for the Warriors, his old team. Back reunited with Nellie, but I don't see this helping the Warriors in a good way. The Warriors are the fastest paced team in the league, and Webber can barely get up and down the court. He might as well just stay down on the defensive side of the court because by the time he got down to the offensive side, his teammates will probably already taken a shot.

Then again he could be a good role model for the younger players in a way. But Baron Davis is happy to have Webber as a teammate, so maybe it will end up being a good thing for the Warriors. We will see on Thursday how it works out as we get a look at Webber and the new look Warriors.

NBA All Star weekend is two weeks away, I'm excited about that.
