The "Big Three" experiment in Houston is officially a bust. Perrenial selfish baby Tracy McGrady is not even tradeable at this point; brittle china plate Yao Ming may be out all of next season as he recovers from his 237th foot injury; and Ron Artest is about to sign with The Lakers. Hard to blame Ron Ron once the Yao news broke. It looks like Ariza is on his way to Houston. The Rockets have to dump McGrady and start rebuilding. The problem is that they can't go full rebuild with Yao still hanging around. Sucks. They've got some promising talent, but not near enough to seriously compete for a championship.
The San Antonio Spurs continue to impress me. A+ for the Spurs front office. Giving up virtually nothing, they pull in Richard Jefferson to join Duncan and Parker, making Ginobili no longer such an issue. If Manu comes back relatively healthy, the Spurs compete. If he doesn't, they still compete. They also did very well in the draft considering their picks.
The East will be fun. Gordon and Villanueva in Detroit; Shaq with Lebron in Cleveland; Vince Carter joining Orlando. Of course, if Orlando loses Turkoglu, which it looks like they might, that is bad news for them. He was integral to their success.
Already looking forward to next season.

The rumor I heard is that Yao's career may be over.
Dez's Basketball career may be over too
Indeed. These are dark days for The Rockets.
