And the new centre for your Canadian National Basketball teams is…Jamaal Magloire? Nope, try Sixers C Samuel Delambert, who although he was born in Haiti, grew up in Montreal…

Quick baseball note: This in one of the best blogs on the net…here they are with their all time Canadians in MLB

Great article on Ron Artest from Marc Stein of ESPN.com

Joke of the day…Joe Smith (2 years, $10million!!!) is the new low-post presence in Chicago…insert punch line here…

Milwaukee Bucks PG Mo Williams has reportedly agreed to a six-year, $52 million deal with the Bucks…apparently the lure of playing with Shaq and Wade on a perennial title contender, were not enough to make up for the $20 million difference based on the five-year, $31.4 million deal that Miami offered…

Alonzo Mourning does not want to go out like that: "I want to redeem myself and try to help this team redeem ourselves as an organization and try to get back on track," Mourning said. "That wasn't the Miami team you saw in the playoffs last year. ... I was embarrassed. I was truly embarrassed by that outcome. I know for a fact we're a better team. It left a sour taste in my mouth and it's time to really end it all on the right note. It will definitely be my last year…and with Alonzo Mourning, who averaged 8.6 points last season for the Heat (not to mention an absurd 5.44 blocks per 48 minutes) announced he is returning for a 15th season, not counting time off for bad kidneys…

Goodbye Mikki Moore hello Jamaal Magloire…the Nets signed the big Canuck Saturday with the deal contingent on Magloire passing a physical…terms not announced…Magloire averaged 6.5 points and 6.1 rebounds last year with the Blazers…Magloire has career averages of 9.0 points and 7.5 rebounds…

So Charlotte owner Robert Johnson elects to finally spend some money on SF Gerald Wallace $57 million/six years; SG Matt Carroll to $27 million/5 years; the remainder of SG Jason Richardson's $50 million/4 years, and C Emeka Okafor ready for a (promised) extension of around $70 million/5 years…good right? Well, after all that patience (some say miserly tight-fistedness) he now has practically no money to spend next year when Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, Gilbert Arenas, Baron Davis, Allen Iverson, Elton Brand and Pau Gasol are all eligible to become free-agents…oops…
