NBA IS ALL BUSINESS

There was a lot of movement in the NBA this week. Carmelo Anthony finally was traded, Daron Williams was shocked by his move and Kendrick Perkins cried after he was dealt to Oklahoma City.

But what does it all mean and why did Melo wait so long for a deal, that seemed like it could have been done months ago.

Its all business.

NBA is about money. That's why they charge me an arm and a leg to sit in the last level of the lower bowl here in Phoenix. (probably wont renew unless something good comes along)

Anyway its all about business. Melo could have taken that deal along time ago but he was searching for something better. And did he even sign the extension? I didn't hear about it. Denver will rebound, they have a good coach and young team.

At first I didn't like the Melo trade but as I see how it works, it has been growing on me everyday. Last night they beat the Heat and shut down Lebron in the final quarter. Seems to be fine. But still a lot of questions.

Is D'Antoni the answer for these guys?

Didn't he have a similar team but with a better point guard and younger legs in Phoenix? Is Chauncey the point guard of the future?

Does he even want to be there?

Can Melo and Amare coexist through a whole season let alone the next three seasons?

They are in NYC the media capitol of the world and we know both cant really keep their mouth shut if things go wrong.

Just still a lot of questions and not enough answers. Sure looks good three game in with a 2-1 record and loss to the Cavs. Looks more to be about business to me.

Is it a set up to get a better coach? Maybe Phil Jackson! Is there a possible deal for Chris Paul coming in the off season. Just no answers. I think the Knicks want to sell a lot of tickets and make up for a horrible decade. They have two guys who will get you in the playoffs but not sure when it actually matters if they are going to win you a title.

These so call "super teams" are also about business. Making money and putting people in the seats for long term. You may guarantee a title or two with them as well. Can you actually say the "super team" is the way to go now? Who wants to go see one of these smaller teams play if they know there is no shot at winning or being competitive. All about business.

The Celtics should have told Kendrick Perkins it was all about business when it came to trading him. I mean I know you love the players and you been there eight years but shedding tears when you got traded isn't the NBA way. He may actually have some feelings. NBA players don't usually give a shit about a trade its just all about the paycheck. Hey Kendrick, you will still get that money pal! Suck it up, your going to a team of the future.

After all these trades and my Suns picking up Aaron Brooks for Goran Dragic? Was that a good idea? Dragic is fine with being the back up to Nash. Nash only has a couple season left but do they really want a complainer behind him? Not sure if that was the right move but it will get them into the playoffs and put money in the owners pocket.The winner of these business deals I think is the NETS.

Why you ask?

Well they got the best point guard in the league RIGHT NOW! I know it was a shock to you DWill, kinda like it was a shock that Charlie Sheen is all of a sudden sober and doing interviews. The dude has lost it.

But the Nets are the big winner. They got a great young point guard. Plenty of draft picks and plenty of money to sign a big name in the off season. They have two great owners and are moving to Brooklyn in 2012. Seems like a place that would make me happy. Point guards are the key piece in the NBA. Look as some of the teams who have won over the last decade they have smart point guards. San Antonio comes to mind. Three titles with Tony Parker. Lakers have Derrick Fisher who is smart with the ball and thinks team first. The Pistons had Chauncey. Also cant forget the second best point guard Rondo. These are teams who have a good floor general.

Miami has? I don't even know who their point guard is? Is Marcus Banks still sitting on the bench? These guys may have Wade but when it comes down to it will Bron take a back seat to DWade? Once again more questions. But hey the seats will be filled and the owners will have plenty of money. Unless my pick San Antonio wins it all.

Yeah you heard me the Spurs will win it all, I think the Celtics come up short again. Which begs the question can Phil really retired without winning another title? I highly doubt it.

Lets see how the business shakes out.

That's whats on my mind.
