NBA Free Agency. What I WANT to Happen

It's no secret...I'm a really big Bulls fan. It's also common knowledge that now that it's July 1, Lebron James and company have the next 10 years of the NBA in the palm of their hands. I'm trying to hope for the best and prepare for the worst, but I'm going to be royally PISSED if we don't get Lebron. Here's a breakdown of what I'm hoping and praying will happen during this summer's free agency:

• Chicago Bulls

OK, everybody wants Lebron but I actually feel like we're gonna get him. The LBJ/Bosh/Wade to Miami rumors just seem like too much of a long-shot. There's not enough minutes in a game, let alone possessions to let both Lebron and DWade get theirs. I feel like James x Bosh is a more realistic possibility.....even though I'd probably rather take Amare. Wack defense and all.

• Miami Heat

Since I'm hoping that the holy triumvirate of James/Bosh/Wade isn't going become a reality, the next best thing for Miami is to sign both Wade and Amare Stoudamire. DWade deserves a huge contract that would solidify his stay in Miami and by throwing in Amare in his prime, they would still contend in the East. Makes perfect sense...once Lebron comes to Chicago.

• This last one....eh

I'm not saying that Carlos Boozer and Dirk are gonna end up playing with each other, I'm just not sure where they're gonna land. I think Dirk could fit will in New Jersey and I think Boozer could fit will in either New York or Miami if Amare doesn't go. Plus, if I had a point guard like Deron Williams, I'd most likely want to stay in Utah. But then again, you gotta go to the best situation and it IS Utah we're talking about...

Other NBA Notes:

• Paul Pierce should be headed back to Boston since Doc's returning.
• The Bulls should try to find a shooter....um, Ray Allen??
• If Charles Barkley leaves TNT to become the Suns' GM/a>, I'll be pissed.
• Mikhail Prokhorov is really trying to get the Nets in the Lebron Sweepstakes

I'm basically gonna be on pins and needles until someone signs with someone. Until then, hold tight Bulls fans.

Come on, Lebron.

[Double] Music of the Moment - January 19, 2010

I haven't had many music posts lately so I figured I was due for a double post. A lot of people have been talking about Jay Electronica lately and truthfully, he's had some of the realest hip hop that I've heard in a long time. The strangest part about it is that it seems like people are really paying attention. With that being said, the first video is actually the trailer for the video for his joint Exhibit A (Transformation). This kid Jay Elec really is the truth and this song is just one example. My man Pbbt put me on awhile back and it's been nothing but good music from him since. Definitely worth the listen.

The other video for today was the next single from the Clipse's latest joint Till the Casket Drops called Freedom. Another dope song, another dope video. EGHCK's for everybody.

Dopeness all around.

Saw a "Freedom Isn't Free" Bumper Sticker Today. You Already Know What I Thought Of.

None other than the nationalistic country song Freedom Isn't Free from the hilarious movie Team America: World Police. It's from the creators of South Park, so you know I had to check it out back when it came out. It's a pretty funny movie and if you've seen it would would have to agree. If you haven't already seen it, well honestly, I question your commitment to FREEDOM. Check it out:
Hope you got your buck o five.
