Seattle SuperSonics move to Oklahoma City and got their new uniforms in time but not yet a nickname!!

The uniforms arrived in time, black mesh with white stripes along the sides, the words "Oklahoma City" across the front of the jersey and atop a simple NBA logo.

Around the bench, there was barely any SuperSonics green or gold in sight.

And with that, Oklahoma City's latest NBA storyline got off to a simple start.

Russell Westbrook, left, the Sonics' 2008 No. 1 draft pick, and Oklahoma City lost to the Pacers in their first summer league game.

A week ago, these players would have been called the Seattle SuperSonics. Now, they're from Oklahoma City, nickname to be announced. And on Monday, in the first game of the Orlando summer league, the former Sonics franchise took its first steps along the road of relocation, in a glorified scrimmage for rookies and other young pros.

"It's all happened so fast," Oklahoma City rookie point guard Russell Westbrook said. "It's something you have to live with. It happened so fast. I'm very excited to be in the position I am now."

Oklahoma City lost its summer league opener to the Indiana Pacers 95-78. Earl Calloway scored 16 points and Andre Emmett had 15 for the Pacers, who scored the game's first eight points and never trailed.

New York Knicks get Chris Duhon, ex Chicago Bull...Marbury done as a Knick?

Chris Duhon has reached a verbal agreement with the New York Knicks on a 2 year contract.

Duhon

"The chance for Chris to be a starter was too much to pass up," Duhon's agent, Kevin Bradbury.

Duhon had also been talking with the Orlando Magic. Bradbury said the Magic never offered Duhon a contract.

Bradbury said the Knicks have made it clear that Duhon could start, which could mean that Stephon Marbury's days with the Knicks are numbered. Marbury is in the final year of his contract.

Stephon Marbury's days of being amazing are well behind him and maybe a non all-star in Duhon might be what the Knicks need...a team full of non stars might win more games?!?

Dallas Mavericks sign Former Slam Dunk Champ, Gerlad Green

Former slam dunk champion Gerald Green signed a one-year, minimum-salary contract with the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday.

The 6-foot-8, 200-pound swingman is known mostly for his exploits in the last two dunk contests, winning it in 2007 and finishing second to Dwight Howard this year. In games that count, he has career averages of 8.1 points and 2.2 rebounds. He's played for Boston, Minnesota and Houston in his three-year career since being drafted 18th overall coming out of high school.

The Mavericks are hoping that pairing Green -- who is still only 22 -- with Jason Kidd will bring out the best in the former teen prodigy.

Jason Kidd needs big men help like he had awhile back with Kenyon Martin in New Jersey!

This move could work well but the Mavs will always have trouble with the LAKERS!!

Gilbert Arenas agrees to less money by signing a 6 year deal worth $111 Million to help struggling Washington Wizards

The unpredictable three-time All-Star point guard, in vintage Agent Zero fashion, told the Post and the Washington Times on Thursday that he has agreed to re-sign for $111 million over six years, considerably less than the maximum deal he said the Wizards offered him when the free agency period began on Tuesday.
Like the earlier Chris Paul signing, Arenas is an important part of his squad. Now if someone can figure out what players will actually help the New York Knicks win some games?!?

New Orleans Hornets Chris Paul Agrees to a 4 year, 68 Million Dollar Deak

Chris Paul and the New Orleans Hornets reached a contract agreement Thursday that could keep the All-Star point guard with the team for at least the next four seasons.

He is by far and away their most important player and in the top 5 players in the league!
This was a MUST and an excellent move - had to be done!
