NBA Live 10

This game looks fun, and it comes out on my B-day ;)

I'm interested to see who the game thinks is going to win next season (those simulations are quite accurate).

Reds

http://mlb.fanhouse.com/2009/07/27/firmly-sellers-reds-are-close-to-a-deal/

The Reds are "sellers" and top club officials spoke on a special conference call Monday morning, an indication to a major league source that the team is "close to doing something," most likely involving one of its big-money pitchers: Bronson Arroyo, Aaron Harang or Francisco Cordero.

The Dodgers, looking for a veteran starter, are among the teams that have expressed some interest in Arroyo and Harang, but only as a fallback if they don't get Cliff Lee, the source said.

Arroyo has postseason experience and he's pitching well now. He has a 2.08 earned run average over his past three starts. For the season, he's 10-9 with a 5.21 ERA.

The Reds aren't likely to be able to move any of those pitchers without picking up some of their salary. Harang is signed through 2010, with an option for 2011 at $12.5 million next year with a $2 million buyout or a $12.75 million salary in 2011. Arroyo is signed for $11 million next with a $2 million buyout or an $11 million salary in 2011.

Cordero, an All-Star, is signed through 2011, with an option for 2012, at a salary of $12 million each year.

Teams could also have interest in setup men Arthur Rhodes and David Weathers.

Even though the Reds are apparently selling on this year, perhaps there is still a chance they go after Toronto third baseman Scott Rolen, who is signed for next year. A major league source told FanHouse's Ed Price that the Blue Jays were sending a scout to Cincinnati Monday to watch the Reds.

Lamar......still undecided.

Will this man ever make up his mind?

By the way, does anyone else think that the salary cap is too low?
Heats signing Lamar Odom for $5.85 million would equate to a total cost of around $12 million with the luxury tax.

That's insane.

I think the cap needs to be elevated OR the luxury tax needs to be reduced (Maybe .50 cents to the dollar?)

Roy Halladay

He plans to test free agency, so I can't see the Jays giving him up for nothing.

Where do you think he will end up?

Best Offseason So Far?

I'm not going to make any excuses, I'm an Orlando homer.
I root for the Magic.
So no surprise, I think they had the best offseason.

They have in my opinion, the deepest team. The bench (if they sign Watson and Barnes) is the deepest in the NBA too.

Anyways who is the team you think improved the most?
Raptors?
Cavs?
Mavs?
Spurs?
