The Magical World of AAU
This is it. The end of the line. For college coaches, the end of July signifies their last chance. The infamous July evaluation period is almost over, meaning top prospects won’t be on display again until the fall (and only briefly), then winter for high school basketball season. The most vaunted of the end-of-summer events take place in Las Vegas (adidas, Nike and ...

BullsHome.com :: Chicago Bulls Fan Blog :: Should younger Bulls players look to take over?
The Chicago Bulls are having a tough time resigning Ben Gordon and Luol Deng to long term deals. One or both may be gone my the next season either via some sort of trade or free agency. Over the last couple years the Bulls have continued to pile up some great young talent via the draft by trade and a little luck. So should this young talent look to take over the team?

 Overreaction to Losing Posey
Overreaction to Losing Posey
Here's John Hollinger's take on the Posey deal : It's true that Posey brings three things to the table: defense, rebounding and 3-point shooting. He's not an all-defense guy, but he's an above-average defender who can play multiple positions, and that's certainly helpful. So are the 3s -- in his past three campaigns he's hit 40.3 percent, 37.5 percent and 38.0 percent from downtown. And ...

Last James Posey Post
Even though I recognized that I was overrating James Posey's value to the Boston Celtics I continued to write biased posts/comments about his departure. I guess that's what fans do. With that in mind it's worth checking out what John Hollinger and Kelly Dwyer had to say about Posey's new 4-year deal. Here's a hint - neither one saw the contract as a boon for New Orleans.

 The Big James Posey Question
The Big James Posey Question
So James Posey, who has helped the Miami Heat and Boston Celtics to championships, is moving on to New Orleans. The New Orleans Hornets offered Posey a 4-year $25 million contract, and the Celtics decided not to match. Should a team pay a key role player who helped them win a championship big money or should they get someone else to do the job for less money and invest elsewhere?

Exposed?
Well, the Posey era is over. This unofficially marks the end of the '07-08 team, and means that the squad we will be seeing in a few months will have some totally new elements, for good or bad. Obviously it's hard to see James go; on an emotional level it's very, very difficult. For while Garnett's intensity was the hallmark behind the championship, and Pierce the ignition, Posey personified
