Brent Barry went back to the dark side. It looks like Gordan Giricek will be the newest member of the team, but that's not 100% yet. According to the first two articles, even though Sam Cassell got waived by the Clippers, he's almost definitely not going to Phoenix, but instead will most likely become a Celtic.
I was linked to this by a friend, and it is kinda amusing even if I don't know anything (or honestly particularly care) about wrestling.
Oh no! The Wizards just can't catch a break.
The Storm are going to stay in Seattle no matter what happens to the Sonics. Yay separate (and female) ownership!
Tamika Catchings signed a four year deal with the Indiana Fever. She still might not be ready to start playing when the season begins due to the torn Achilles that she suffered in the playoffs.
Here's a very interesting (if long) overview of the future of international players in the NBA. The conjecture is fine, but what I really like is the discussion of what role they play now.
Charles Barkley is seriously awesome. If you don't want to read all that, just watch the youtube clip that is in that post too:

My scales are beautiful, the color of the ocean!
Last night's game sucked. I didn't read any recaps, and I probably won't.
I'm starting to slip from my position of acceptance that the Shaq trade was a good idea. It looks like Scott Bordow of the East Valley Tribune agrees with me.
The most interesting part of that article for me was the statement that Memphis’ Rudy Gay went off for 36 points Tuesday; that doesn’t happen if Marion has a crack at him. It brought to mind a quote from Marc Iavaroni after the Memphis game (from an article that I linked to yesterday). He said, I don’t think they had an answer for (Gay) tonight. I think they were just trying to outscore us. I can't help but wonder if that was Iavaroni's way of saying that Kerr wasn't the smartest for getting rid of Marion.
Other people are becoming more despondent too.
Who the hell knows when Brent Barry will make a decision. If he doesn't pick the forces of good, Philadelphia is expected to buy out 6-foot-6 shooter Gordan Giricek so that he can join the Suns. To which I say two things: 1. Who? and 2. Why does Philly want to do that for us?
I don't know why, but I kind of like Devin Harris. Even if I feel like he looks about 15. It is because of my appreciation for him that I link to this. Plus the Nets helped give me the game that was both the first NBA game that I ever saw live, as well as being the best one that I will ever see, no contest. Oh, double overtime amazingness.
Stern gets uppity at a congressional hearing. I don't know what I think about any of that.

I had some dreams, they were clouds in my coffee
It's not a huge win, but the Suns beat the Memphis Grizzlies last night 127-113. It's nice to see a W after Sunday's game of doom. Interestingly, the Arizona Republic's recap almost seemed as though it were about a completely different game. A game in which the Suns played really poorly. Whatever. In a world in which the Suns can lose to Minnesota twice and Miami once, I'm glad for any win they get. Even if it makes for a frustrated Marc Iavaroni.
Tonight they play in New Orleans. It'll be interesting to see if Shaq can be of any help there, considering that they've been giving Nash and company fits this year.
Ok, so maybe we'll learn where Brent Barry is going today. If he decides to go with the forces of evil and becomes a Spur again, maybe we can get Sam Cassell. The Suns are getting so old, so quickly. Also, if it's Cassell in purple and orange, so alien-like.
This article isn't on the original page anymore from what I can tell, so that's an archived copy that ends prematurely. It's about how the Mavericks pick up of Jason Kidd is basically a statement of "damn, we should have kept that Nash guy around." I hadn't really thought of it that way, but it's very true.
Anderson Varejao is back to playing with the Cavs. But now that they've been completely overhauled, how will he fit in?

What I'm burning is your attire
Sometime this morning we should know if Brent Barry will be wearing purple and orange.
The after-shocks of Sunday's mind-numbingly embarrassing 116-86 loss to the Pistons. I'm divided on this. Yeah, they need to have some time to build a cohesive team, but at the same time Shaq's mouth appears to be writing checks that his body (and the team as a whole, it seems) can't cash. I guess we have little choice but to wait and see what happens.
To quote Sports Night, "it can't rain at Indian Wells." This article is especially cool, because I didn't know that this had been done before, and it was interesting to read the players' recollections.
The "big man club" doesn't really talk to one another, but that's alright with Shaq. I'm glad to see that he's not mad at Dwight Howard for taking on the nickname Superman. Even though "you can't give yourself a nickname." Why yes, I am feeling like quoting Sport Night as much as possible tonight. Thanks for asking.
Butler, Thomas, and Arenas all have setbacks in their returning from injury. I feel really bad for the Wizards, as they're an awesome team, but just can't escape from being injury laden.
Tony Parker is back to practicing with the Spurs. Damn.
One of the men responsible for the death of Michael Jordan's father is having trouble getting parole. Legal jargon and loopholes commence.
WNBA free agency is open. In list form here's some highlights:
* The Washington Mystics re-signed Alana Beard. YAY!
* The Minnesota Lynx signed Nakia Sanford (of the Mystics) to an offer sheet. The Mystics had five days to match or beat the offer.
* The Mystics matched the Lynx's offer. YAY!
* The Lynx picked up Anna DeForge.
* The Connecticut Sun (boo hiss) re-signed Lindsay Whalen (who I actually kind of like).
* Katie Douglas (boo hiss) (of the Sun) went to the Indianapolis Fever in exchange for Tamika Whitmore.
* As predicted, Swin Cash went to the Seattle Storm from the Detroit Shock in return for the number 4 pick in this year's draft.
Speaking of the Draft Day, the WNBA draft will be held on April 9th to coincide with the NCAA Women's Final Four.
The Mystics are holding open tryouts a week after the draft. I don't know what else to say about that, but it's kind of interesting. I wonder if other teams do that.
