[h2]Blazers' BlakeHappy With Contract, Motivated[/h2]
Aug 19, 2008 5:22 PM EST
Portland pointguard Steve Blake is happy with his contract and appears motivated heading into the new season, according to The Oregonian.
"I want to prove I can be a starter for a long time, not just for one year," Blake said. "And I want to prove that Ican be the starting point guard on a championship team."
Blake averaged a career-high 8.5 points and 5.1 assists last season. He'll make $4.2 million in 2008-09, but that number will fallto $4.0 million if the Blazers opt to pick up his option for the 2009-10 campaign.
"I have mine," Blake says. "What I do works for me, and I'm happy with what I have."

[h2]Monta Working With BoxingCoach[/h2]
Aug 19, 2008 12:46 PM EST
Monta Ellis isalready preparing to meet the expectations of his new contract.
He is working on his ball handling this offseason and has plans to improve his endurance and strength by working out with trainerVirgil Hunter, boxing coach of undefeated super middleweight Andre Ward of Oakland.
"There's no workout like a boxing workout," said Ward, who is training for his December fight at Oracle Arena againstBrian Vera. "It surprised me a little bit because there was no hesitation (when he was approached with the idea). "... The scary part about him ishe's going to get better. When hard work and talent come together, great things happen."
"Monta is quietly confident, and it comes from getting his work done and not talking about it," said Warriors' ExecutiveVice President of Basketball Operations Chris Mullin, who drafted Ellis No. 40 overall in 2005.
"He shows up in the best shape. You don't keep improving as he has just because. He works at it."

Aug 20, 2008 9:16 AM EST
Dwyane Wade,who suffered through a number of injuries last season, can't believe how quickly people have written him off, according to Yahoo! Sports.
"I was written off in one year quicker than anybody had ever been," Wade said Tuesday. "Being injured, it was like Ihad forgotten how to play basketball. But it made me hungry. And it put me back in the position where I've always been. And that's theunderdog."
After looking like a shell of his former self last season, Wade has looked amazing in Beijing.

That wouldn't be very smart...
You basically wan't to pay him more money than Sasha (because even if he takes a pay cut he's going to make more than Sasha) to come in and be a spotup shooter...and he's about 6 inches shorter.

[h1]Big D welcomes back George with new contract[/h1]

Devean George's stay in Big D is going to last longer than anyone imagined.
George
George and the Dallas Mavericks have reached an agreement on a new two-year contract worth about $4 million, according to his representative.
Agent Mark Bartelstein told ESPN.com on Wednesday that the deal soon will be made official and includes a player option for George to return to free agency after the coming season. George, 30, appeared to have little future in Dallas beyond last season after his controversial refusal in February to be included in the Mavericks' trade with the New Jersey Nets for Jason Kidd. Kobe Bryant has the NBA's only active no-trade clause, but George was able to prevent his inclusion in the deal on Feb. 13 by citing a little-known league rule applicable to a handful of players on one-year contracts. In a game that same night, George missed all 11 of his field-goal attempts in a home loss to Portland and was roundly booed by fans in Dallas. The Mavericks and Nets completed a reworked trade without George days later, but the second version of the deal cost Mavs owner Mark Cuban more than $11 million extra last season alone in additional payroll and luxury-tax obligations. Fan discontent with George, though, faded quickly, as did any friction within the organization. New coach Rick Carlisle was eager for the Mavericks to retain George, who spent the last two seasons in Dallas and is regarded as a perimeter threat and versatile defender off the bench when healthy after winning a ring with the Los Angeles Lakers in each of his first three pro seasons. Injuries limited George to 53 games last season and averages of 3.7 points and 2.6 rebounds in 15.5 minutes per game. Marc Stein is the senior NBA writer for ESPN.com. To e-mail him, click here
[h1]Veteran forward Marshall waived by Oklahoma City[/h1]

OKLAHOMA CITY -- Forward Donyell Marshall won't be making the move to Oklahoma City with the Seattle SuperSonics.
The 14-year NBA veteran was waived Wednesday by the Oklahoma City franchise, which still hasn't been renamed after its relocation last month.
Marshall was acquired by the franchise from Cleveland in a three-team trade in February that sent Wally Szczerbiak and Ben Wallace to the Cavaliers.
He averaged 3.8 points off the bench in 15 games with Seattle and was sidelined by a sore right knee late last season.
Adrian Griffin, who was the other player sent to Seattle in that trade, was shipped to Milwaukee last week as part of a deal that brought forwards Desmond Mason and Joe Smith to Oklahoma City.

I'd rather let my own family freeze to death then have warmth from those forsaken jerseys, I'd rather Dan Dickau selljerseys then this bum.
Devean George, from the bottom of my heart, I hate you, with a passion.
