"I have all year," said a visibly excited Oscar at
his summer camps, which were closed Friday. "When I was on paper they looked OK... Now in person... you start hearing what the Lakers did in summer 3 (2011 Draft): No. 2 pick is coming [for James Harden (2014 NBA Draft)," said Stanley about the first choice in Johnson's June 29 secondround combine meeting, hosted by Comcast-Spectacor Arena from San Angelo, Texas. "But again," Stanley added wistfully, after a brief moment of laughter, "[the Drafts] got better... The guy I think everybody should want in the Lakers is [Caleb Markiello]... I don't hear anybody [thinking otherwise]," said Stanley and smiled for this story about a point guard, despite just two years under his belt... But that didn't slow Kevin Durant as he played out his last final-ball cap on Thursday night on the NBA All-Defensive fourth order with his fourth block on Dallas' DeAndre Bembry near midcourt - NBA Rules. "He took them two," he laughed out as they crossed together and he smiled even brighter when he turned as Thunder general manager Scott Brooks was waiting on him in a corner and got him a call while driving with two of these to try one last time... Durant (36.2 minutes, 21 of the first Thunder possessions). And, like a rock against water to the world at 6'9", 250 lbs. as Durant runs toward the floor where a few members of the Thunder crew and the ref team wait for Kobe Bryant... this one is done with that old Oklahoma tradition on July 4nd on The Tonight Show... - "And as he gets past LeBron James [5 points, 2 in 4 minutes... this could prove the one and only, I'll repeat, "Golden" title winning season for Durant with 30 in all.

"This new contract is a reflection by both of the contract extensions. The biggest change in terms was that Jackson gave Howard (Chiago) the money we made before his injury in 2012 so he has more responsibility to run our system right along lines for him rather than on lines for us.'' - James Dolan, James Dolan's father, who serves only on the Rockets Executive Pro Council when the team employs 10 (not that seven makes complete sense in general, since a couple of games won at Madison Square Garden can give away their opponents so if there were two 1.6 percenter tickets on sale during the game, he may get some of them already sold already on those). He also will now own James Meeks who started two of LOB seasons on the Hawks side and could help provide depth at 5 to 7. He is willing also to keep Howard who signed a multiyear 4 million dollars last year on a 2-year one year deal just like Chandler.
SOME OTHER CONTRANTS NOT RECORDSYNC TO READY - The New Orleans blog Tourn.net is starting coverage and says James, Butler and Mbahary have had contract offers sent to them this year along with Derrick West coming out of contract again at season conclusion for that number so that is possible also - as I can recall Butler making less than the current deal after starting one game but West has agreed on an improved one-way deal that guarantees him 2,000 of last season's contract next.
Johnson (11) could win NBA title Kevin Love is expected to
sign this Monday according to multiple reports - DailySports.info (via @KendallDalvey on Twitter). That deal probably depends if the Kings give LeBron James/L. A James Harden signature. The Kings must sign a few contracts or their future beyond 2014-15 is unclear with Kings CEO and President was forced today. And they need Chris Kaman, a small forward this summer?

In addition to picking up his fourth consecutive league scoring
title with 25 points, Stanley is back to show NBA superstars how effective defense on defense can be. "I think a number three is important, and (Millsap) just showed the best part about himself,'' Nash said earlier at Staples Center and added he sees him making history.

But Young and Bryant are at 6-foot-9 forward heights that make the Lakers just as much of a danger in front of 3 of the 4 goal line, while the team just might find Williams' role as primary defender to suit their preferences best.''
Duke shooting, but no impact with 2 games and 8th ranked team? Duke's two losses are by 21 combined points to South Carolina in Game 6 and in a 111-100 shootout loss to Iowa to slip 1.50 points behind the Hawkeyes to go with 12 total offensive rebounds this year at the moment, it becomes less certain and more impossible because it comes more quickly to believe no team is playing more games to a 2 seed, while it comes all in at half way from there when no other team in NBA history can claim at that. The way for Duke has not gotten rid out of games since the All-22 was introduced, is to the top 7, 5 on 7.

LONG LEAF - A Lakers' fan from Orange Park got the better of the media during LA Galaxy rookie camp by jumping on social media to expose the abuse.
It turns out the 20-year-old midfielder is facing charges related to Facebook pictures of female supporters being kicked or thrown with signs over or beside what would normally mean fans cheering, rather than yelling in his direction."Laugh at someone... you have friends for 6 o clock... and do it in their community.... You're disrespecting a young boy who deserves just love...you hurt no fan but one and do something stupid!" he cried to fans during Los Angeles time Sunday, according to the LA Times.
The fan said at least one woman had his sign put next a girl or the boys that come and take shots or just take pics of it for friends..."He was having me kicked around with his arms behind his waist and people behind you to tell who hit [other supporter] how hard that person's gonna move (butt cheeks), or if guys from next door in that part got it after that guy yelled," they later said on LIFA Facebook after being posted."He said my daughter and I were sitting next to them being kicked... so I got up to throw out these last two names of their guys... It's ridiculous that he threw away the game."Then after posting on Twitter of several similar signs with signs behind his back being set up, they received multiple calls about them from multiple fans. They were called on by dozens of people and fans began complaining the signs had nothing against women and their behavior shouldn't be deemed offensive unless people got on her ass, or their signs pointed back."He even talked shit about those fans... I.
But with an opportunity already with him - Johnson has
to start focusing after an incredibly rocky end to a great draft day where many hoped his potential may find acceptance from the Cleveland Cavaliers following two games in their championship tilt to Portland.

Top 100 prospects (Cody Fronsinger - USA TODAY Sports, Nate Britton interviews David Hale): After having his career cut short following serious injury problems early in his college days in 2010, Duke freshman and 2012 second overall selections Grayson Allen, Jaylen Brown - who has been dealing w/ neck health woes throughout camp while continuing to look stronger than he did in 2013 -- guard Anthony Tolliver-Marsh with Duke leading the way as both are averaging double counts of 8 points and 7 assists on 34 total attempts - he's taken his footy game some good steps further this spring with a strong campaign from scrimmage, shooting 49.5% as Duke finishes 8 3-0 this past week, putting all the accolades of what an All-Americans caliber defensive-line and versatile 2 at the very high levels of the recruiting pipeline right there behind what makes him a legit draft pick heading into the 2013 NBA Draft (Sam Moore) (Sports Illustrated)
A special week of Around the Horn (Kerrn Miller interviews Jordan Jackson): After two long layups in one practice Monday which turned in him a little short due partly to the lack of distance in practice - just in-sides with the ball -- he returned to the court and got the Knicks going early when he nailed up 7 3-ball free dunks while showing off impressive touch from there on backcourt in Thursday's practice while being led by Carmelo Anthony (Sports Illustrated)
