Will Trevor Ariza stay in Houston?  NBA Trade Rumors by Da`Vince “Dino” Wright It`s that time of year! Every team is gearing up for the playoffs and getting the right fit to make a run at the NBA Championship. First things first, you have to look at cap space, long term deals and locker room fit. Dwight Howard is at the to of the list. Marc Gasol, Mike Conley, Al Horford, Goran Dragic, Hassan Whiteside, Luol Deng and Randy Foye are just a tip of the iceberg. Dwight Howard is the key to the movement. During the All-Star break it was rumored that the Rockets wanted a 3 team trade for Howard. “I never ask anyone for a trade. The team and I will fix what`s broken”, Howard said. “You have to remember that they`re only rumors that`s all”. Howard wants a max deal deal that could land him 8 years 124 million, but Houston is reluctant. “Why would you give a player that kind of money and he only practices every other practice,!” said Houston`s ex coach Kevin McHale.

Super Bowl 50: Peyton Mannings Place in NFL History Win or Lose

Image
Peyton Manning`s Place in History by Da`Vince “Dino” Wright Peyton Manning is one of the most intriguing quarterbacks to ever play the game. He`s not flashy, fast or cocky. He`s just a flat out winner!  The football Gods have ordained him a champion, a leader, and a four-time MVP. One might say that he is one of the smartest quarterbacks to play the game. Manning's key to success is the bond he has with his receivers. Every off season he, along with his receivers and tight ends, work out with the play book and develop hand signals. Defenses are too busy listening to “Omaha Omaha Omaha” at the line to every pay attention. The hand signals directs the receivers to certain spots on the field. This is one of the main reasons why Peyton has a spot in history.  Let`s take a look at his accolades and records Peyton obtained in his 18 year career. He has the NFL touchdown passing record with 509 and counting.  Single season passing touchdown record ...

Are The Dallas Mavericks Ready To Trade Deron Williams?

Will Deron Williams still be a Dallas Maverick after the NBA trade deadline?  NBA Trade Rumors: Dallas Mavericks by Da`Vince “Dino” Wright Deron Williams for Jeff Teague? Why would the Mavs entertain the thought?  Seriously speaking Deron Williams should have been a Dallas Maverick four years ago when he decided to take the money from the Brooklyn Nets. He was in his prime, but instead it was four injury prone years wasting away in the Northeast.  Lets talk trade now.  Jeff Teague is younger, an All-Star last year on a team with 60 wins, and his contract dollar wise makes sense. Dennis Schroder has been playing lights out which makes Jeff Teague expendable. Schroder's contract saves the Hawks money and he is younger. Deron Williams is on a team filled with guards and trading him gives more playing time to J.J. Barea, Raymond Felton and Devin Harris. Teague can easily play at the shooting guard position because he is a scorer. Teague can make ...

Barbershop Talk.. Super Bowl XXII and Super Bowl 50 by Da`Vince “Dino” Wright I was getting a haircut at my cousins barbershop the other day and all they wanted to talk about was the Super Bowl and the turn out. Reg “The Body” said, “That Cam Newton was good but was too green to win the big one”. Derek added, “Peyton Manning will go out on top of the mountain like he should”. This old man pouring coffee turned and said, “ History is bound to repeat itself”. The shop got quiet and The Body asked, “What do you mean Mr. Smith?” While pouring sugar and adding his creamer, Mr. Smith explained his statement. “Super Bowl XXII”. January 31, 1988 in Jack Murphy Stadium in San Diego, California.  The Washington Redskins led by a dynamic black quarterback beat the Denver Broncos 42-10. The Super Bowl MVP was Doug Williams.

Are there any teams in the West that can challenge the Warriors or the Spurs.  Can any teams in the Western Conference beat the Spurs or Warriors? by Da`Vince “Dino” Wright It`s Monday and I usually watch the WWE, but tonight is a special night for basketball fans all over the country. The Spurs are playing the Golden State Warriors in Oakland. The Warriors leads the NBA in points scored and the Spurs leads the NBA in defense. The young brash boy from the Bay Area was supposed to be tested by the NBA`s elder statesmen. The game wasn`t even close. The Warriors came out with so much energy that the Spurs couldn`t keep up. It was lopsided to say the least. Curry scored 37 points and saw limited playing time in the 4 th . In a span of 8 days the Warriors beat the Cleveland Cavs and San Antonio Spurs by 30 points. So, lets entertain the question at hand. Can any team in the West beat the Spurs or Warriors? The answer is Yes! You have Oklahoma City, Portland TrailBlazers, Hou...
