The TMac trade with Washington didn't go through but the Knicks deal still has life according to some and Washington might still get involved. As with all trade talk, the thing that usually happens is something we never really considered. That is, unless the Rockets just end up doing nothing which would be fine with me.

I would not mind cutting him and playing things out to see how Daryl Morey handles extra cap room this summer.

Are you watching the Olympics? I enjoy watching these sports once every four years but cringe at sports where judges decide outcomes. Yes, I know Boxing falls in that category. And some of you will argue that refs decide all team sports but I'm talking about judging style. It does add to the drama with athletes from mogul skiers to figure skaters trying to avoid mistakes. But sometimes I feel that these sports become more about avoiding the big mistake than making the big play.

Texas to the Big 10? Say it ain't so!

It would earn the 'Horns about 8 million more per year to be in with the likes of Michigan and Ohio State but it doesn't feel right for either party. I thought Penn State was kind of a stretch and there are some purists in the Big Ten that still don't look at the Nitany Lions as an equal member. Imagine Texas trying to fit in.

If Texas can go to the Big Ten why not blow up the SEC while we're at it and go for two or three uber conferences. Why not USC to the Big Ten or Virginia Tech to the SEC? If the Longhorns go it's official that nothing is sacred and you can see these leagues going after just about any dream-school addition you can conjure up that makes financial sense.
