So yeah, remember that sham of a relationship between The Hump and Kim Kardashian that somehow, someway turned into an actual marriage? Well, that is over now after 72 days as she's filed for divorce from him.

Since he no longer has the Power of the Kardashian(ask Reggie Bush and Miles Austin what that did for their pro careers)he's now become useless to me and unless he wants to come back for the cheap, the Nets can let his *** walk and let somebody else give him the money he's looking for.

He's still a great rebounder.

Unless that was just the magic of being in a contract year, he's good on the boards.

I wouldn't call him a great rebounder just yet until he proves he can repeat the same type of production when he's not in a contract year and when he's not dating a Kardashian, because we've seen what her "stuff" can do for an Athlete's career.

Lol I wonder if he gets a cut of the 18 mil they reportedly made of that sham wedding / marriage?

[WTF]

Re: NBA Off-season Movement & FA List (PG 1 Updated 6/29)

That's what kind of a messed up world we live in. They can live for a lifetime off the money that they made off of that wedding... where I'll be paying for the rest of my life for our personal wedding...

Man I wish I was famous.

Return of The Broom

Jamaal Tinsley(notes) hopes to return to the NBA, and he wants to use the Development League to help his efforts.

Tinsley has sent in the needed paperwork to enter Thursday’s NBA Development League draft, sources told Yahoo! Sports. Tinsley, 33, averaged 9.8 points and 6.6 assists per game through eight NBA seasons while starting 366 of 436 career regular-season games. He last played in the NBA with the Memphis Grizzlies during the 2009-10 season. The deadline to enter the D-League draft is Tuesday.

All this talk about the new amnesty clause in the new collective bargaining agreement tend to ignore one important aspect: The player that gets waived is basically a free agent and can go anywhere he wants.

There are a lot of prime amnesty candidates out there -- Rashard Lewis, Gilbert Arenas, Marvin Williams, Al Harrington -- but those are also good basketball players that any team would be interested in signing. For example, Baron Davis.

The Cavs don't need him. They drafted Kyrie Irving No. 1 overall and are eager to turn the team over to him. So obviously they'd like to remove that $27 million they're owed to Davis through 2013 if they could.

But where would Baron go? According to ESPN.com, he has three places in mind: the Lakers, the Knicks and the Bobcats. There was talk about the Heat, but that interest only seems to be one way with Miami looking at Davis.

Davis clearly doesn't want to sit behind a rookie, playing limited minutes. He saw a bit of a resurgence last season alley-ooping Blake Griffin and probably see himself with a chance to finish his career strong. He's saying the right things though.

"[I'm] really looking forward to playing with, and mentoring, Kyrie," Davis told the Cleveland Plain Dealer last month. "He's so talented, creative, smart, has so much potential and could become a great cornerstone of the Cavaliers' franchise for many years to come. I've been talking to him a lot this summer about NBA life, and in Cleveland, he's going to learn so much from coach [Byron] Scott, who will be a great mentor as well."

The best fit for him really probably would be the Lakers though. Derek Fisher doesn't have much time left and Davis' hometown is Los Angeles. It's just a matter of where he's at physically and if he's completely willing to fit in alongside Kobe, which can be a task. But bring in the good Baron Davis to play with Kobe, Andrew Bynum, Lamar Odom and Pau Gasol and you've got some big time firepower.

The Knicks? It would work, but that would be a post-Chauncey Billups solution and I think the Knicks have higher hopes than Davis. Probably not possible given their cap situation, but they'd sure like more. The Bobcats are a fit because they need talent. They did however just draft Kemba Walker so Davis would find himself in pretty much the exact same situation he had in Cleveland.

Miami really would be a good landing spot for him, but he'd probably have to take a little less and while a lot of older veterans saw an opportunity with the Heat, Davis doesn't seem like the kind of guy that's willing to just hitch himself to a team in order to chase a ring. He's still got game left and wants to play.

Lol at Orlando having two potential players for the Amnesty Clause

Any other teams with mulitple candidates? That's awful.

Baron Davis.. nothing more than a role player any more, I would say on Gilbert Areana's level. Both of those point guards I wouldn't want starting for me but maybe as a backup if the system is right.

I'd say the Pistons but that might be a homer call.

I'd love to see Baron stay for a year and split time/mentor Kyrie if he's willing to actually stay in shape and keep a good attitude. But if he isn't willing to put in the work and stay in shape ship his *** out.

Re: NBA Off-season Movement & FA List (PG 1 Updated 6/29)

Speaking of Kyrie, I was thinking whenever the league starts, how much rust is this kid gonna have.

I'm sure he's putting in work but him vs. live competition, we just haven't seen.

I haven't heard about him on any of the summer circuits.

When was this kid's last real competition?
