Ron Artest is basketball person

(Here is where the hilarious picture of Ron Artest doing things would go if we had any pictures OR if we were hilarious. Not both.)

Well, SAC traded Ron Artest to the Rockets for nothing, if you count out Bobby Jackson, which we do. (Has he played for SAC before, or was that someone else? We can’t remember, and we forgot how to use the internet.)

Ron on the Rockets means that like, the Rockets should be better than they used to be, ie we like this trade for Houston.

We’re no so concerned with the Rockets as the Cavaliers, though. Why can they get good players for garbage?

In the past year, the NBA has seen Pau Gasol and his Electric to the Lakers for garbage, Jermaine O’Neal to the Raptors for basically garbage, and now Ron Artest for garbage.

The Cavs have so much garbage – why can’t they use it?

We’ve supported Danny Ferry in that past quite a bit, but unless he starts using the garbage how it’s meant to be used, we might just start not being so pro-Cavaliers all the time.

Seriously, all we do is praise the team and LeBron, over and over and over again.

UPDATE: ESPN has the Houston trio voted as best in the West by fans, but we say no – not until they all play at least 75 games. Yao and/or McGrady go down annually with something. (We voted Spurs.)

We’re not in town at the moment, so we missed the quake, but we love the general headlines and warped hysteria nonetheless:

DEVASTATING QUAKE HITS LA
No major damage or injuries reported

That’s the basic gist of it – we weren’t even there, and our mom has frantically asked if we’re okay about seven times. We’re actually right here in the same room with her, and she looks concerned.

What else – we bought our nieces these, but they don’t stick on their heads correctly, which means it wasn’t the gender-bending fun we’d hoped to unleash.

Finally, despite Boney’s frustration with the concept of our All-Time movie Rankings, we’re having fun with it. There are lots of paradoxes though – while, for example, we definitely like The Shawshank Redeption (#21 currently) more than Speed (#30), we’d definitely watch the latter before the former if they were sitting here right now.

We’ve only done 120 movies so far, so there are lots of things to discover.

Go ahead and have a Netflix Tom Cruise-a-thon.
I think you’ll like Bowfinger.

meh, the Rockets traded this years pick and next years pick. that’d mean no Hickson (a pick I like, and will be needed one Varejao bolts/is traded), the contracts of either Snow or/and Jones. Meh. The Cavs garbage will be more enticing at the deadline, when the Nets/Bucks/Nuggets/Whoever realize they aren’t contending and start dumping salary.

I’d love to see them finagle a way to land Josh Smith.

I traded my garbage for a future movie. So far I got nothin’.

The Nets? Oh man, if the Cavs’ garbage lands Vince Carter, I’ll quit life.
