Looks Like Lebron Is Getting Some Mo Help
Cleveland, Milwaukee and Oklahoma City have agreed in principle to a six-player trade that could add a much-needed second scorer to LeBron James' Cavaliers.
Mo Williams, the high-scoring point guard from Milwaukee, will go to Cleveland in the deal, which should be announced later Wednesday.
The 6-foot-1 Williams averaged 17.2 points and a team-high 6.3 assists for the Bucks last season.
Cleveland will send shooting guard Damon Jones to Milwaukee and forward Joe Smith to Oklahoma City.
Milwaukee also will get point guard Luke Ridnour and forward Adrian Griffin from Oklahoma City.
Oklahoma City, formerly known as the Seattle SuperSonics, also gets Desmond Mason, the athletic small forward, from the Bucks.
Since joining the Cavaliers in 2003-04, James has not had a teammate who averaged as much as 17 points per game. But Williams has done so the past two seasons, averaging a career-high 17.3 points in his breakout season of 2006-2007.
Williams' agent, Mark Bartelstein, said a scoring-minded point guard will make it easier on James and sharpshooter Daniel Gibson.
"I think there was so much pressure on LeBron to create so much of the offense in Cleveland," Bartelstein said. "I think somebody like Mo is going to really make the game easier for LeBron and create opportunities for other people."
The acquisition of Williams may spell the end of Delonte West's brief tenure in Cleveland. The Cavaliers have been embroiled in contract talks with West, a free agent who became their starting point guard after being traded from Seattle last February.
James “responding very well” to ankle treatment
LAS VEGAS (AP)—Nursing a mild right ankle sprain, forward LeBron James shot baskets on the sidelines but was held out of a scrimmage on Wednesday.
“He’s responding very well to treatment,” team spokesman Craig Miller said during the closed training session at Valley High School, where the Americans are preparing for the Beijing Olympics. “We’re saying he’s day to day.”
James injured his ankle when he landed on Kevin Durant’s foot during a Tuesday scrimmage between Team USA and a select squad of young NBA players.
The End is Near.....
Is anybody else out there concerned about the latest buzz about Lebron being open about the potential move to the Big Apple to play for the New York Knicks or the Brooklyn Nets? Check out the latest Yahoo article and recent ESPN article stating that The King is ready to bolt Cleveland as soon as he can opt out of his contract in the summer of 2010. If that happens, does Wally Szczerbiak become option #1 on the offense? Oh boy.....

Lakers Choke Job in Game 4
Did any of you see the absolute collapse of the Lakers tonight in Game 4 of the Finals? Man, I swear Kobe looked like Lebron out there with ZERO help from his supporting cast. Poor bastard.
You can go ahead and give the crown to the Celtics now. I guess they really were the real deal, huh? Man, do I hate Paul Pierce.... Did you see this clown's postgame interview when he looked up in the sky when asked how they made their comeback? Ya, Paul, it was God that helped you win. Give me a break. I want to just stab that guy in the face. Oh, wait....
