It’s begun…with a weird signing.
4 years, $24M – we figured any number of teams would throw that at former Heat-person Jason Kapono, being that he’s one of the best shooters (percetage-wise) in the NBA. But Toronto?
It’s weird not so much because they offered, but because we figured Kups (what we called him when he was with CLE) would go to a warm-weather city. Specifically, we figured he’s end up in LA with the Lakers. He went to UCLA, they need players, etc, etc.
Our favorite Kups memory was probably a January game during his rookie year that he inexplicably was really, really tan. Clearly he was going to tanning beds, and this became a point of great interest for us.
Were the Stephen A Smith sock puppet around back then, we’d have asked it to scream “WHY ARE YOU SO TAN?!” at the guy.
Anyway, that the only big change so far. Vince Carter re-upped with the Nets, which was a surprise to nobody. He can passionately be non-passionate for New Jersey right on through when they move to Brooklyn.
We’re ready for some Kobe/KG movement asap – get to it, NBA execs.
NOTE: When did the Nets mascot become a werewolf? Wouldn’t it be better if it were just a big net? Like they drop it from the ceiling and it just falls on the court and lays there motionless, but for some reason all the NJN fans go nuts for it?
Like all the out-of-town announcers are like “Why do these people like this thing? It’s just a net, right? Is there something I’m not seeing here?” Then all the fans can just be all pretentious about it like, “You not FROM here. You just don’t GET IT.”
UPDATE: Luke Walton, Laker for life – good move on everyone’s part on that one. Isn’t it funny how reading these deals makes $30M seem like it’s not that much money?

He’s actually a Fox. Sly the Fox.
Would the guy in the yellow shirt be crawling away if that were a fox?
I don’t know if it was Frank or TVBrain that said there was no comparison between Granderson and Sizemore… that Sizemore was the much better player…
22 doubles, 15 triples, 11 bombs, 41 ribs, .289 average, 900 OPS, even 9 steals on a team that doesn’t steal that much is better than your boy Sizemore.
much more deserving of an election to the All Star game than Sizemore.
Aren’t all foxes werewolves, though? Like how pickles are really cucumbers?
I like how this particular “werewolf” never blinks and instead of walking on all 4s like real wolves do, he has 5 fingers and feet things that make him look like he has no toes…
I feel like somebody is lying to me…
