Zach Randolph to THE GRIZ!

Yeah, just kidding, who cares?  Zach Randolph is a waste of my time, he belongs on the Griz.  In other news, Mark Cuban and Mike D'Antoni are duking it out for Jason Kidd.  This is fantastic.  Fighting for a 36 year old point guard that could not stay in front of a chair if it had wheels may seem a little strange, because it is a little strange.  I realize that Cuban had his interns skew stats to make Jason Kidd the best player in the league, but even he can't believe that, right?  Cuban's problem is that if Jason Kidd bolts for NYC, he essentially gave away Devin Harris for nothing.  Apparently both teams are offering 3 year deals to Kidd.  So you want to lock this guy down until he hits 39?  Ouch.  What a terrible idea.  That three year deal is three years too long.  Oh, and let us not forget that Jason Kidd is a bad guy.  If you watch enough of those "The NBA Cares" promos you tend to forget that Kidd was arrested for domestic violence in 2001.  His wife called him "A serial abuser and adulterer."  But he's a great leader, no really.  Where are you going?  

In Spurs news, Pitt's DeJuan Blair fell to the second round where we quickly snagged him.  His knees are definitely suspect but he was a steal in the second round.  Think of him as a new-school Malik Rose.  He is undersized at 6'6" but his freakishly long wingspan at 7'1" should allow him to be an effective rebounder for the Spurs.  Currently, we only have Duncan, Bonner, and Mahinmi underneath, so snagging Blair was crucial.  He is exactly what we needed.  In fact, this is what Bill Simmons tweeted right after we drafted Blair.  "DeJuan Blair to the Spurs at 37?  How does shit like this happen?  You're damn right I just swore.  Unbelievable."  I assume the Spurs will sign one more big guy before the season commences, but if we do not I could see Blair starting over Bonner.  That's how crazy this second round draft pick was.  The pieces continue to fall in place for the Spurs, it is looking very good.  As of right now, we arguably have one of the top rosters in the League.  Here is the current circle: Spurs, Celtics, Magic, and the Lakers with the Cavs and Nuggets losing ground.

I just got back from a week in Montana with some of my fraternity brothers.  It was fantastic.  Best line of the trip: My 6'5" Hindu friend was sporting a gold chain.  I was like, "Really, a gold chain, man?"  His response, "Chicks dig it.  I'm a walking hedge against inflation."  I might have to start wearing gold just so I can use that line.
