THURSDAY DECEMBER 1 2011
QUOTE OF THE DAY
PAGE 9
Aaron Rogers, quarterback for the Green Bay Packers, has +29 touchdown/interception differential. That number is greater than any other quarterback's touchdown total alone.
ESPN Stats and Info
Q: Who is the only defending champion, other than the Packers, to start a season 11-0 after winning the Super Bowl?
End of lockout means free agent action
MORNING BREW
During Thanksgiving, I had many things to be thankful for: a family
D things to be thankful for; a family, my friends and a well-cooked meal rather than ramen noodles. Those things are special, but during break the shackles on the National Basketball Association lockout were finally broken.
The first round of games will be Christmas day, but the madness starts sooner. On Dec. 9, teams will begin shopping for their most wanted items; the league's best free agents. Here are a few of the best available.
NENE, DENVER NUGGETS
Many teams in the NBA are missing a true center to give them an inside presence, but look no further. Though his name may be short, his play is far from a small player. The Brazilian bruiser is everything a team could want in a center. Hes 6-foot-11, weighs 250 pounds and is very physical.
Nene averaged 14 points per game and eight rebounds per game last year for the Nuggets. Many centers in the NBA can average those numbers, but Nene improved his field goal percentage, finishing the season last year at 61 percent.
WHERE HE WILL END UP:
Nene dealt with the Carmelo Anthony drama last year and the team surprisingly did better without their former star. The big bruiser is reportedly looking for more than $50 million over four years, a number that will be hard for teams to match. The Nuggets can pay him the most, and they will keep their star center.
With rumors that the Hornets' star point guard Chris Paul being traded, West opted out of the final year of his deal. West tore his left ACL near the end of last season, but a healthy West would be very productive.
DAVID WEST, NEW ORLEANS HORNETS
The 6-foot-9, 240 pound power forward
averaged 19 points a game last year before the injury. West also snatched seven boards and shot 51 percent from the field. West is an effective low-post and pick-and-pop player that will entice teams needing an upgrade at the four spot.
WHERE HE WILL END UP:
Teams might be weary of his injury, but those willing to take the risk might earn a high reward. West is 31 years old, which may be another cause for concern, but with teams like New Jersey and Sacramento needing a boost, one is willing to take the risk. The Nets need an upgrade at power forward and the New Jersey native West will be with the Nets this season.
JASON RICHARDSON ORLANDO MAGIC
There are more players to upgrade frontcours, but Jason Richardson will be a hot item for teams needing an upgrade in the backcourt. Richardson is no longer the 20-points-per-game scorer, but he can still shoot the ball.
The 30-year-old veteran averaged 15 points per game last year, shooting 45 percent from the field. Richardson's best attribute is the three-ball, and he shot a blistering 40 percent from behind the arc last season.
WHERE HE WILL END UP;
Richardson is ringless in 10 seasons. The Magic have Gilbert Arenas, making things more complicated. With that said, Richardson's age is a concern, and I think he will take a pay cut to play for a contending team like the Chicago Bulls.
While fans are shopping for tickets for the Christmas games, many teams will be shopping for players. Let the NBA's version of Black Friday begin on Dec. 9.
