What the hell's goin on here! We got who? What? No Dwight? Mo' Dwight?. Mandatory Credit: Howard Smith-US PRESSWIRE

After saying he couldn’t see himself in a Lakers jersey, Steve Nash is now their point guard.

After saying they’d match any offer for Jeremy Lin up to “$1 billion”, the Knicks will probably let Linsanity flow out of Houston.

It is “highly doubtful” NY will match Jeremy Lin’s offer sheet with HOU, source tells Y! Sports. NY likely to wait 3 days before declining.

Dwight Howard trades to LA, Houston and Brooklyn have been “imminent” a dozen times, Ray Allen is on the Heat and Landry Fields got $20 million to play in Toronto.

The 76ers waived Elton Brand and let Lou Williams walk to Atlanta. Speaking of the Hawks, they did the unthinkable and managed to find a team willing to take on Joe Johnson’s contract; The Nets.

The Charlotte Bobcats got a first round draft pick AND Ben Gordon out of Corey Maggette from the Pistons.

Eric Gordon spoke glowingly about Phoenix after receiving a max contract from the Suns only to have New Orleans match it.

Eric Gordon: “There is always a business element to the NBA when dealing with contracts but I never lost my appreciation for the NOLA fans.”

And that’s not everything that went down.

Holy crap.

This summer has been far from slow for the NBA, after last summer ceased to exist.

It has to be a given that the upcoming season will be just as wild, right?

Rick Bonnell of the Charlotte observer says the Charlotte Bobcats should pursue new free agent Lou Williams, the 76ers great sixth man.

I couldn’t agree more.

The Bobcats have enough cap space to lure a guy like Williams to Charlotte. Plus, he would begin to fill one of Charlotte’s (seemingly infinite list of) needs; Offense. If they can land Williams and make a solid draft choice (or trade the pick for a very good player) the Bobcats could be able convince other free agents to sign with them, even after coming off the worst season in NBA history.

The Milwaukee Bucks are apparently a possible trade partner with the Charlotte Bobcats for their second overall pick in the upcoming NBA draft.

HoopsWorld.com reported it, but also said a trade is not imminent.

The article says Milwaukee is looking to acquire a “big guard”, so it’s hard to figure out what they’d give up to get the second pick and then what they’d do with it. Harrison Barnes is the only “big guard” with top five potential, but I think they’re looking at Andre Drummond; Their front court thinned out after trading away Andrew Bogut. I don’t think the Bucks would give up Brandon Jennings or Monta Ellis, so it would probably come down to giving up Ersan Illyasova and their #12 pick. Would Milwaukee do that? Who knows, but I doubt it.

There’s nothing new on the coaching search side of things, except for the collective fear growing inside Bobcats fans that their team might actually pay Quin Snyder to be head coach.
