Golden Nuggets: Saturday morning links


Here are your links for a summer morning at the end of July. So sit down with your coffee or morning drink and read basketball articles from around the basketball world

Star-divide

 

Not much to say this morning folks. Hope everyone has a good weekend. Enjoy the links!

 

NBA Lockout Presents Impossible Compromises for Players, League - Tom Ziller, SB Nation
Tom Ziller analyses some numbers and determines the reason why the Players Association has a hard time with the owners last proposal.

Both sides of NBA labor negotiations prepare for legal war - Ken Berger, CBSSports.com
Another depressing article about the possible legal actions of the players and the owners in the NBA Lockout. Yippee!

Union backing overseas pursuits - Ken Berger, CBSSports.com
FIBA (The International Basketball Association) has consented to NBA players playing in Europe during the lockout. Apparently this is being encouraged by the NBAPA.

Frank gets 4-year deal with Pistons - Adrian Wojnarowski, Yahoo Sports
The Pistons sign Lawrence Frank (Bilbo Baggins) to a 4 year contract to coach their team. Hopefully Frank is as adept at resurrecting the Pistons as he is at hiding the ring of power.

Ex-NBA player jailed for basketball team fraud - Ben Golliver, CBSSports
An article about the sad descent of former Nuggets player Jay Vincent.

Dwight Howard: Orlando Magic center training with Hakeem Olajuwon - Josh Robbins, Orlando Sentinel
Denver Stiff's favorite Dwight Howard talks about training with the legendary Olajuwon.

 

One last note - doesn't this Kyle Orton/Tim Tebow mess and the Colorado Rockies saga with Ubaldo Jimenez make you think not so nostalgically at our own ordeal with one Carmelo Anthony? /shivers

I'm too fair-weathered a football fan.

The Broncos will probably suck, but I might watch half of their games anyway. Certainly won’t be perusing any football blogs.

A more accurate opening statement

So sit down because your head is really not spinning that fast and read some links to hopefully bring you out of your late night alcohol induced haze

What are football and baseball games like in Colorado?

Being from a place with no professional sports, my allegiances are all over the place. I’m admittedly not a Broncos fan (although I’m a way bigger basketball fan than a football fan), but I have no real ties to any baseball teams, so maybe I’ll get into the Rockies. I’m not very big on baseball though, to be honest.

Jump on the Rockies

if you love your dizzying highs and depressing lows. However, it is depressing lows in Coors at the moment

Hawaii

So the biggest sports we have here is the University of Hawaii college sports, and the Pro Bowl. We used to have Lakers-Warriors exhibition games, but they canceled those.

STIFF LIST (as of 4/26 by Andrew Feinstein)

1. METTA WORLD PEACE

Metta resorted back to Ron Ron last Sunday by clubbing James Hardenwith an "inadvertent celebratory elbow", landing him a 7-game suspension. Apparently, changing his name didn't prevent NBA commissioner David Stern from overlooking Metta's past behavior problems.

2. CHARLOTTE BOBCATS

The 'Cats are on the verge of securing the worst winning percentage in NBA history. Given that the guy who runs the team - Michael Jordan - had previously drafted Kwame Brown and Adam Morrison, should this really be a shock?

3. OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER
The team that was supposedly built to overcome the lockout-shortened season managed to lose 7 of its last 14 games, ceding the Western Conference's 1-seed to the Spurs in the process. Their reward might be a first round matchup with defending champion Dallas.

4. BILLY HUNTER AND DEREK FISHER
With report after report coming out about NBPA union head Hunter's shady, nepotistic dealings and questions arising about Fisher's own role in dealing with NBA owners behind Hunter's back during the lockout, this off-the-court scandal could prove to be more exciting than the playoffs themselves!

5. STEVE NASH AND THE PHOENIX SUNS
The Suns are on this list for squandering the last few great seasons from Nash. Nash is on this list for his stupidly stubborn loyalty to a franchise as awful as the Suns.
