Some interesting league rumors with links

There seems to be a bunch of interesting things being said around the league that have hit the sports sections of Sunday edition newspapers around the league. Here are some:

The Arizona Republic has Shaq to Cleveland for Wallace and Pavlovic rumors heating up and detail the immense savings this deal would have for the Suns:

Miami Herald has speculation coming from a close friend of Chris Bosh's that Bosh is very interested in playing in Miami and that Miami would love a Bosh-Wade combo. Miami though would probably be best off not trading for him right away as it would probably cost them Michael Beasley and waiting for Bosh to sign in free agency and retaining Beasley is probably the smarter move:

ESPN is reporting that the Lakers might have to choose who they want to keep Ariza or Odom and have an interesting quote fron an anonymous Western Conference GM thinks Odom could be had for the full MLE. As a Celtic fan I find that very intriguing especially since Odom can't be completely adverse to playing in New England because he went to URI. The article also speculates on Gordon to Detroit and Hamilton being on the trading block:

Interesting blurb in the Sacramento Bee saying that the Maloofs have been borrowing money just to keep the team afloat and that if they don't get news on a new arena before year's end, word of a Kings move will begin to be everywhere. IMO probably for good reason.

AThank you.

Thank you for a well thought out and organized fanpost. Worthwhile read.

Reporter: About a year ago I asked about the Celtics-Lakers thing and you said you'd really only seen it on TV. Now you've been through it, can you talk about playing the Boston Celtics for the NBA championship?
Kobe: It Sucks.

Don’t think Odom would come here because we’re the Celtics and not sure him and Garnett are the best of friends. No link for that statement, just a personal assessment based on things I’ve seen.
