The Trade Craze

The trade deadline is getting to a close. Teams are trying to trade some of their good players for better ones to get into the playoffs. Some of the famous trades include the acquisition of Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett to the Boston Celtics. The most talked-about trade was Shaquille O'neal going to Phoenix Suns in exchange for the star-player Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks. Everybody questioned how efficient Shaq will be with regards to his efficiency in playing the Suns' way. The most recent trade was of the Kidd-to-Dallas trade. Yes, Jason Kidd has returned to Dallas and he's played as a Mavericks against the New Orleans Hornets. And now, the hottest buzz is the three-team trade between the Cleveland Cavaliers, Seattle Supersonics, & Chicago Bulls. If this trade becomes successful, Ben Wallace will possibly go to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Another trade comes from the San Antonio Spurs. The Spurs plan to trade Francisco Elson and Brent Barry [!!] for Kurt Thomas. I understand why Pop chose Elson but Barry? I just don't understand it. Barry has been playing great. If not for his injury, he would've proven to Pop that he's worthy to remain as a Spur. "I wish there had been a local bar that was open," said Barry. And FYI the teams that are showing their interest on Barry are the Phoenix Suns and the Houston Rockets!.. Argh! What can Kurt Thomas do to the Spurs now? Can someone tell me? Oh and by the way, Manu Ginobili rocked the Spurs game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Manu poured in 44pts and Tim Duncan adding 24 pts with 14 rebounds. Spurs won 100-99.

Waiting In Vain - OST Serendipity

Serendipity is one of my favorite movies. I think I've watched it more than 10x. Me & my bestfriends have always believed that "destiny" is real and that there is someone out there that is really meant for you. But that was a long a time ago. Now that we've grown and are still learning more about life and love, we've learned that there ain't no destiny. It's our choices and actions that makes our destiny. Dr. Gregory House said in one of the Dr. House episodes that, "doing things, changes things." Bullseye. He got the point there.

Even though I don't believe in that so-called "destiny" anymore, I still love the movie Serendipity, such a very romantic film. Hmmm.. Waiting In Vain is one of the soundtracks of Serendipity, hear it and I'm sure you'll love it.

From the very first time I rest my eyes on you, boy
My heart said follow through
But I know now that I'm way down on your line
But the waiting feeling's fine

So don't treat me like a puppet on a string
'Cause I know how to do my thing
Don't talk to me as if you think I'm dumb
I wanna know when you're gonna come

See-
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love
'Cause summer is here
And I'm still waiting there
Winter is here
I'm still waiting there

Like I said-
It's been three years since I'm knocking on your door
And I still can knock some more
Ooh, boy, ooh, boy, is it crazy? Look, I wanna know now
For I to knock some more

You see-
In life I know
That there is lots of grief
But your love is my relief
Tears in my eyes burn
Tears in my eyes burn
While I'm waitin'
While I'm waitin' for my day
You see-
*repeat

Like I said-
I don't wanna, I don't wanna
I don't wanna, I don't wanna
I don't wanna wait in vain
I don't wanna, I don't wanna
I don't wanna, I don't wanna
I don't wanna wait in vain

It's been three years since I'm knocking on your door
And I still can knock some more
Ooh, boy, ooh, boy, is it crazy? Look, I wanna know now
Like I said-
Tears in my eyes burn
Tears in my eyes burn
While I'm waiting
While I'm waiting for my day

You see-
Ooh, boy, ooh, boy, is it crazy? Look, I wanna know now
For I to knock some more
In life I know there is lots of grief
But your love is my relief

All-Star Weekend: Big Men Can Dunk

Of the events that happened during the All-Star Weekend, my most anticipated event was the slam dunk competition. Gerald Green, last year's slam dunk champion, was ousted by none other than Superman, [oh sorry], I mean Dwight Howard. I got to watch the slam dunk competition and I was really impressed about the creativity of Dwight Howard. I really love the dunk where he slapped the ball to the board and back to his hand and then the DUNK!! That happened in seconds, so I wasn't really sure if it was a dunk when I first saw it. The replays came and the first word that entered my mind was, "wow!" No wonder the commentator said after "that" dunk, "I'm going home!! Lol!" The Birthday Cake Dunk from Gerald Green was nice but everybody was just waiting for the next dunk from Howard. So, what did you enjoyed most during the All-Star Weekend? Was it the Rookie V Sophomore game? Or was it the East V West game?

I'm Not Surprised

I've read an article from FanNation.com about the San Antonio Spurs and a deal for Franscisco Elson. I'm not going to be surprised about this move from the Spurs, Franscisco Elson hasn't been playing well during the Spurs' road trip and the game before that. He's good but most of the time he's not.

5 Mavericks Is Equal To Kidd

Yes, the Jason-Kidd-to-Dallas deal is final. Kidd is going to Dallas in exchange for 5 Dallas Mavericks players, namely: Devin Harris, Desagana Diop, Keith Van Horn, Trenton Hassell, & Moe Ager. Trading Devin Harris is the biggest mistake in the deal. I'd rather trade Jason Terry for Kidd, but I'm no Mark Cuban. [sigh] He's [Harris] a great player, I actually think he's much better than Jason Terry. What do you think? Is the Kidd trade worth it? ``It doesn't matter what moves you make, if they're not playing well for you, if you're not jelling, if you don't find the right rhythm or the right people to put on the court at the same time, it's not going to work for you." -- Tim Duncan, San Antonio Spurs.
