Minnesota Not Afraid to Make Moves



The Minnesota front office has decided to add an excellent scoring guard to their squad, pairing him up with a pass first point guard, some young guns and a top tier center. With Monta Ellis heading to Minnesota, it looks like they're ready to get back into the playoffs. "With Monta," started Kevin Love, "we've got a player not afraid to shoot and someone who can take the scoring load off me. It's nice to know if I'm doubled down low he'll be ready to catch and make a move."

Beefing Up for Brooklyn



Next season the New Jersey Nets will be heading to Brooklyn, breaking in a new stadium. While they tried and tried but failed to acquire the services of one Dwight Howard, partial owner Sean Carter feels this move will be a step in the right direction towards keeping leading man Deron Williams when his contract expires at season's end. Upon hearing about the trade, a wide smile was seen on the face of the aforementioned Williams making it seem that he does like the move. Danny Granger is a rising star and undoubtedly should be an excellent sidekick working off of Williams. Coming with Granger is big man Roy Hibbert, who while no Dwight Howard has improved by leaps and bounds over the past year.
