Newspaper Gaffe - Andris Biedrins Gets No Respect

Posted by HoopsAvenue on July 15, 2008 under Atlanta Hawks, General NBA, Golden State Warriors | Read the First Comment

After leading the league in Field Goal Percentage this year, Warriors center Andris Biedrins is being courted by both the Warriors and Pistons in the free agent/trade market this off-season. Good numbers, good demand…makes you think Biedrins might get some respect, but not in Myrtle Beach where the Sun News made this little gaffe back in March:

Andris Biedrins - whoever

Yeah, that “whoever” leading the league in FG% is Mr. Biedrins. C’mon, Sun News, we’d understand if you did that to Erick Dampier, but Biedrins is an up-and-coming player. You’re better than that!

Free Agency Update

Posted by HoopsAvenue on July 2, 2008 under Free Agency, Golden State Warriors, LA Clippers | Be the First to Comment

Yesterday was the first day of the NBA free agency period and here’s what you need to know:

  • Baron Davis has reportedly reached an agreement to sign with the Clippers. This is a bit surprising considering the professional e-mail he had previously sent to ESPN: “”Clipps r possible. G State is where I wanna b”. Now the Clippers have to worry about re-signing Elton Brand. They’re going to have to let Corey Maggette go to pull that off and Brand will have to take a paycut, but it looks like he is willing to do so.
  • Gilbert Arenas received a max offer from the Warriors. So, Gil’s old team is going after him again now that they’ve lost their point guard. The Warriors are young and fun, which fits Arenas’ style, but it’s hard to see him choosing them over Washington.

Where do you think Davis, Arenas, Brand, and Maggette will wind up?
