Perkins headed to Thunder
The Thunder made a late move by adding for forward Kendrick Perkins from Boston. In return, the Celticts received forward Jeff Green, center Nenard Kristic and a first round pick. The Thunder also got guard Mate Robinson on the deal too. This was a bad move by Boston because Perkins was a key player that had size and did a good job on Dwight Howard when the Celticts played them. This was an interesting move by Boston, who will go small now. On the other hand, this was a great move by the Thunder who needed a big man for rebounding. This move by the Thunder will improve them in the power rankings in the western confrence.

Bye, Bye Aaron and Shane hello others
The Rockets have sent guard Aaron Brooks and Shane Battier in 2 separate deals to the Grizzles and Suns. In return the Rockets received Goran Dragic, DeMarre Carroll and Hasheem Thabeet. The Rockets also get first round draft picks from both teams in the deal. The absense of Aaron and Shane will be missed and will help the 2 others. This trade was not very great I think because the Rockets nothing real big in return for these solid players.
Bobcats Send Wallace to Blazers
The Bobcats have sended Forward Gearld Wallace and Nazar Mohammed to Portland for Joel Przybilla, Dante Cunnigham and Sean Marks and 2 first round picks. New Orleans also had a first round pick which is in 2013 with the Trail Blazers. This addition will help the Trail Blazers who were in need of another star other than LaMarcus Aldridge. This trade with help the Blazers make a run to the playoffs.
Clippers Send Davis to Cavs
The Los Angeles Clippers have traded point guard Baron Davis to the worst team in the NBA, the Cleavland Cavaliers for guard Mo Williams, Jamario Moon and 2011 first round draft pick. Baron will be missed in his hometown, Los Angeles and will now be with the worst team in Cleavland. This trade will help the Cavs who need big time help and Davis was nice addition for them.
Wainwright out for season
The St. Louis Cardinals have have lost there best pitcher for the season Adam Wainwright. Wainwright will now undergo Tommy John Surgery on his right elbow and will miss the entire season. Wainwright who won 20 games last season, is a huge loss for the Cardinals and will hurt there playoff hopes too. Wainwright was runner up for the cy young last year and will be missed that has a rotation including him, Chris Carpenter and Jamie Garcia. For any fantasy owners don't pick Wainwright.

The Nets will send Devin Harris, Derrick Favors and two future 1st round draft picks for Deron Williams. The Nets will also send Troy Murphy to the Golden State Warriors for Dan Gadzuric and Brandon Wright.

Atogwe has forced a NFL leading 43 turnovers with 21 forced fumbles and 22 interceptions since 2005. The loss of Atogwe will be missed on the field.

The Indianapolis Colts have just cut former 2007 AP Defensive player of the year Bob Sanders. Sanders who has only played 9 games the past 3 seasons is why the Colts cut the former pro bowler. The loss of Sanders will hurt the Colts and Sanders is still a beast when not injured.

Rodgers released
The Cleavland Browns have released 3 time pro bowl defensive lineman Shaun Rodgers. This was surprising to me since Rodgers is a beast. The Browns cut Rodgers because of the injury he had last season. I think he weould be a good fit in Washington since he met with the Redskins. The Redskins will probably trade or cut Albert Haynsworth and Rodgers with sign with the skins. Teams that are in need of a DL pick up Shaun Rodgers.

The Green Bay Packers are your Super Bowl Champions! This was a high scoring affair for a game that had the top 2 scoring defenses in the NFL. This was a great game to watch from start to finish.

Orioles sign Vladimir Guerrero
What an off season the Baltimore Orioles have had. They have added great players such as 3B Mark Reynolds, Kevin Gregg, Derek Lee, Justin Duchscherer so far. The Orioles now add Vlad, this will be a good and improving team this season. With Nick Markakis, Brian Roberts, Luke Scott and Matt Weiters already offensively. Adding Mark Reynolds, Derek Lee and Vlad, this will be a beast lineup this season. The addition of Guerrero is huge for the Orioles.
