One of my favorite websites to look at college sports news, SEC Country, will be off the internet for at least awhile, along with the family (ACC Diehards, Land of 10, Big 12 Diehards, and Pac-12 Diehards). Big shoutout to them over there and they’ve always been a big inspiration.I hope that y’all with come back stronger than ever!
Star forward LeBron James will sign with the Los Angeles Lakers on a four-year $154 million dollar deal .James does have a secondary home in LA, so it wasn’t out of the question so it wasn’t out of question for The King to head for the purple and gold. James will help attract free agents and maybe even bring in star wing Kawhi Leonard in via trade.
Wing Glenn Robinson the third will sign a two-year deal worth 8.3 million dollars with the Detroit Pistons.
Center Salah Mejri will return to the Dallas Mavericks on a one-year deal worth the veteran’s minimum.Mejri is a former teammate of the Mav’s number three pick, Luka Doncic.
You may be thinking… Why can’t the Rockets contend for a championship? They just re-upped with Chris Paul. Well, it’s because of the loss of Trevor Ariza.
Trevor Ariza, the former star three and d player for the Houston Rockets who made the Western Conference Finals and were one win away from the NBA Finals. Now the Rockets could not retain Ariza, who signed a one-year deal worth fifteen million dollars.Ariza was a great defender for Houston.He defended the opposing teams’ best player.Whether that be LeBron James , Kawhi Leonardon the Spurs, Kevin Durant on the Warriors. Ariza is also a great three point shooter who shot the three ball at 37 percent. Ariza averaged almost twelve points per game, and five rebounds on the offensive side. Ariza averaged almost two steals per game, and almost a block per game.Houston will have to get a new Trevor Ariza. I’m sure that Trevor Ariza will be a great veteran leader for the Phoenix Suns.
