1. Melvin Ingram Chargers Jersey . Lou Williams & Lucas Nogueira (Raptors): I like this deal by general manager Masai Ujiri. I have always been a fan of Williams, who fell out of favor in Atlanta. In the final year of his contract, the Raptors will be getting a player who can score in bunches off the bench and give his team a lift on many nights. He plays with energy and can run the point for a possession or two but is definitely more of a scoring two guard. Nogueira is a guy that is under contract overseas for another year, which is a good thing because there is no rush to bring him over and start his NBA Contractual Clock. The Raptors want to be getting him when hes more mature and prepared to give them a greater return on their yearly investment. I like the move, though. Hes a young man who can make things happen in the lane with his rebounding and shot blocking potential. His offence is a bit raw yet but in time he should be a sound pickup. John Salmons was a good pro, but as we could all see in the playoffs, hes clearly on the downside of his career. For Salmons, this is a nice trade particularly with the fact that Williams is off the books after this upcoming season. Helps you, yet doesnt damage your salary cap long term. 2. Jason Kidd (Bucks): How about this for a Machiavellian Move on the part of J-Kidd?! You literally cant make this nonsense up. He tries to back-door GM Billy King in Brooklyn and gets shown the door for two second-round picks. I guess you beat the Raptors in Round 1 and win one playoff game against the Heat and youre a genius with the NBAs Highest Payroll. No one else in the league would have given him the shot he got last year to coach and this is the appreciation. I feel bad for coach Larry Drew, he gets one year and then the door from his new owners. This is a tough business and theres very little honour and respect left anymore in the coaching profession, thats for sure in this case. 3. Derrick Rose (Bulls): Rose is catching a lot of flak for saying that its not his job to recruit Carmelo Anthony. He is correct; its ownership, management and the coaches jobs to do the work. When you evaluate what he said after that about Melos skills, its pretty evident to me that hes impressed with Melos game and how it would help the Bulls. In defence of him, Im sure if management asked him to publicly make comments about Melo or behind the scenes recruit him, hed assist them. Hes a team guy. On the other hand, maybe he just deep down in his heart knows that Melo wouldnt be a great fit in their system/team identity. Well all know in the next few days if this has any impact on Melos decision with Chicago. Usually guys with the ego the size of Melo want to be recruited by everyone involved. 4. Nets coach: Youll hear the names of Lionel Hollins, George Karl & Mark Jackson among many for this job, as their agents cash in favours with media members to float their clients names to increase their profile and possibilities. In a market like New York, with such a high profile and a small window of opportunity with this older team thats got the huge payroll, it actually makes lots of sense to consider each of these guys for the job. The Nets will need both a strong and capable personality/coach to handle this job. GM Billy King knows that and the fact that he was supported by ownership in the coup attempt doesnt mean hes not under tremendous pressure to win big right now. Kings has got to get the right guy and he better win lots of games next year or they might actually need a new GM next spring. I like Lionel Hollins for this job. 5. July 1: Here we go! Always a fun few days when free agency begins. The Big 3 and Melo set the tone and other movement will follow from a decent free agent class, when you look at the Top 10. Theres quite a drop off once you get past the Top 15 names. For Raptors fans, its very important to balance the desire to build on the 48 win season last year with the long term understanding that the Raptors as currently constructed (Even if Kyle Lowry, Patrick Patterson & Greivis Vasquez return) are still a ways away from being a legit contender to go to the NBA Finals out of the East. Particularly if the Big 3 stay in Miami, Chicago gets healthy and adds a guy like Melo and the Pacers improve and take a good look around. Other teams in the East added some pieces in the early part of the Draft that will make each win a little harder to get within the Conference. Remember back to Bryan Colangelos first season as GM with a 47 win season? You can win too early. As crazy as that sounds, its true. Truly be honest with your team and organization and always try to evaluate yourself vs. the top four and top eight in the East as well as the top four and top eight in the West this past season. How did you stand up vs. those teams and vs. the non-playoff teams? Obviously, a nice season in the NBA is when you beat who youre capable of beating and the Raps did that with some other fun wins sprinkled in along the way to make it a neat experience. Lots and lots of work still needs to be done for this team/organization to be a contender. Slow and steady wins the Race. Im quite confident in the patience and long-term view of Ujiri, that he wont get sucked in to believing that theyre close and try to build on a foundation that isnt there yet. Manage the cap properly, improve internally and be patient. The right defining move will present itself to you in the near future, youve got to be properly positioned when it shows up at your doorstep to be able to consummate the transaction. Yes, I love making the playoffs, but we all want more. So build with the idea of long term/organization vs. the 2014-15 team. You want to be in the playoffs on a yearly basis as well as - and this is what really matters - being a team with a legitimate chance to play in the Eastern Conference Finals & possibly get to the NBA Finals. Those are really hard steps to take. Obviously, if the Big Three break up, Melo goes to the Western Conference instead of the Bulls, etc. Then you reconsider that because you do have greater opportunity. But for now, big picture. It will be a fun few days to watch and follow. Lance Alworth Chargers Jersey . Tristan Jackson returned a missed field goal 129 yards early in the fourth quarter as the Roughriders beat the B.C.

The stress, the waiting, the whispers about whether he doped during his stellar cycling career, all of it ended when - after nearly two years - federal prosecutors closed an investigation of him last week without bringing any charges.The Winnipeg Goldeyes bats were hot early in their final exhibition game on Tuesday night against the Kansas City T-Bones. The Goldeyes scored eight of their 10 runs in the first two innings, led by Donnie Webb who drove in three over the first two innings. From there the Goldeyes pitching staff took over only giving up one run in the eighth inning. Making the final a 10-1 win for the Goldeyes as they took both exhibition games against the T-Bones. It started with Tyler Kuhn, at the top of the batting order, leading off the first inning with a double. He then came around to score on a two-run homerun hit by Ray Sadler. Reggie Abercrombie then got on base with a double of his own and was driven in by Webb. The offense continued to role in the second with the first three Goldeyes batters all reaching base and all eventually coming around to score. Sadler then got on base with a walk, and he, along with Josh Mazzola — who reached base on a single — were the two runners Webb batted in in the second. The Goldeyes took a commanding 8-0 lead through the bottom of the second. The every batter in the Goldeyes lineup got a hit in the game, with six players getting multiple hits, including Mazzola who went three for five. Then the Goldeyes ninth run came in the fifth inning after Webb reached base on a walk and Alen hit a RBI double. The T-Bones scored their lone run in the bottom of the eighth against Goldeyes pitcher Gabe Aguilar. Los Angeles Chargers Jerseys. But the Goldeyes would reclaim their nine run lead in the top of the ninth with Mazzola scoring his second run on a RBI single from Casey Haerther. The Goldeyes had seven different pitchers take the mound to face the T-Bones batters, and they held the Kansas City side to only six hits. Alex De La Cruz who came in during the sixth inning was looking to bounce back from a tough outing in Lincoln on the weekend. He pitched for one full inning, giving up one walk and recording a strikeout. "Coming in in the middle of the inning with runners on base, getting those guys out, that is what you want from your bullpen guys," Goldeyes pitching coach Jamie Vermilyea said of De La Crux on the Jewel 101 post-game show. "He came out and got a few quick outs, its nice to see him bounce back after getting roughed up in Lincoln." The Goldeyes finish their exhibition schedule with a 5-1 record, and had one game rained out. "We got the innings in that we wanted to," said Vermilyea of the exhibition slate. "Pitchers got to see batters, and batters got to get a feel for the batters box." Now Winnipeg travels to Amarillo as they prepare to open the regular season on Thursday against the Sox at Amarillo National Bank Stadium. "Heading into Amirallo, we just hope to keep this going," said Vermilyea of the teams offensive and defensive production. ' ' '
