The Toronto Raptors announced Wednesday they have added veteran NBA coach P.J. Carlesimo as an assistant to head coach Jay Triano’s staff. This will be the second time that Triano and Carlesimo have worked together. Carlesimo was the head coach and Triano his assistant of the USA Basketball Select Team in 2007 and 2008.

USA Today takes a look at free agents pondering money or championships.

CBS Sports' Mike Freeman sees no harm in free agents gathering to regain freedom.

If Charles Barkley was LeBron James or Dwyane Wade, his second-best player would probably be Chris Bosh.

James discussed the possibility of pairing up with Bosh, Wade or another high-profile free agent with CNN's Larry King.

Could the Cleveland Cavaliers emerge as the prime player for Bosh with a sign-and-trade package involving some combination of Anderson Varejao, Mo Williams, J.J. Hickson or Delonte "I'm Banging LeBron's Mom" West?

Hardwood Paroxysm takes a look at how each team shot at the basket against good, average and poor at rim defences.

ESPN might have the LeBron Tracker... but SB Nation's Sactown Royalty has the pure jokes equivalent in its Sean Maydar.

SB Nation talks to senator Bill Bradley about NBA teams, titles and the changing times.

I don’t get the following reference:

Delonte “I’m Banging LeBron’s Mom” West

I know he’s bipolar, but did he say something like that or, gulp, make advances?

Maybe it was baloney, but there was a rumour recently about something going on between Delonte and LeBron’s Mom. I don’t know if it was confirmed.

its true

It was confirmed..even an NBA legend (I forgot his name) was on a radio talk show and said it was true..what was even more bugged out was that supposivly everybody knew they were banging except LEBRON himself..and we thought our season was bad how would u feel if u were a cavs fan?..team gets bounce in the 2nd round, your star player played like he didn’t give a damn oh 1 of your role players is sleeping with the star players mother for god sakes. Talk about drama, delonte west isn’t dead yet is beyond me.

Dude...

I was only kidding when I asked in an earlier post if it was Lebron’s mom West was banging. This is real? Are you kidding me? This is so good it has to be bad for you.

Actually, now that I think about it, I kind of feel bad for James. I mean, I still dislike him, but that is kind of humiliating.

Can somebody post a link confirming this?

Just google delonte west

Go to the news section, and a ton of stuff about it pops up.

Can't be true

This just can’t be true… Just can’t be. If this was this would be THE BIGGEST sports story right now.

Bosh to Cleveland?

Hmmm, that’s a new one. The salaries would have to match in a case like that, so the Raptors might get something useful back. Mo Williams + Varejao seems to add up salary-wise, but maybe there would be better possibilities in a 3-team deal. I would imagine Cleveland would try to sent Jamison and his 13M contract back in a Bosh S&T deal. Jamison-Bargs up front, that doesn’t sound too good to me…

If...

If there is a LBJ CB4 pairing, why on earth would it be in the backwaters of Ohio? Toronto is a major market (wasn’t it 4th in North America?) and would have a lot more to offer.

I wonder if instead of musing about a Moon return, maybe the writer should be preparing for a Hedo welcoming party with a side order of a freshly re-signed Patrick O’Bryant.

How do you like them apples?

This is just proof that Charles should keep his mouth shut because he doesn’t make no sense. I agree that only Wade and Lebron are the only franchise players in the group but his statement that Bosh paired with one of them would be a double double every night is retarded. Bosh already averages a double double every night so how would hooking up with either them help his game? The reality is Bosh isn’t going to play with Wade or Lebron to get better but to be a contender every year.
