Kenyon Martin up for grabs, sort of.

Kenyon Martin is a restricted free agent this off season. If any team offers him a contract, the Nets can match the offer and keep him if they want to. Problem is, they don't know if they want to.

He'll almost certainly get offers from the Hawks (a wasteland, he'd be stupid to accept it) and the Nuggets (a great up and coming club with Carmelo Anthony to build around). The Nuggets could offer him the max salary and it would be tempting to move out west with the Lakers breaking up and everyone else in limbo at the moment (with the exception of San Antonio who needs only Duncan and Parker to be great).

I think K-Mart is made infinitely better by Jason Kidd, so in that respect he'd be silly to leave. On the other hand, if Denver offers him a huge deal, that might be tough to turn down. I don't think the Nets want to match a gigantic contract like that. As much as I love K-Mart, his days as a Net might be over.

F the FCC.

I was listening to Howard Stern this morning during his press conference. He is going back on the air in all 6 markets where he was fired by Clear Channel, and he's also adding three new markets, mainly in swing states.

Between Howard and Michael Moore, there are certainly lots of supporters way out there for the Democrats this year. This is a direct result of George Bush being a divider, and not a uniter, despite his election year promises.

The beginning of the end.

I'm starting a blog, this is the first post. Hopefully I'll use this more than I do my existing web page. I guess only time will tell.
