Crowded D.C. Backcourt

Gilbert Arenas, the Washington Wizards' guard, fresh off a month of house arrest, had seen what occurred earlier, when the Wizards jumped from fifth to first in the lottery, with the opportunity to take Kentucky's John Wall. And that would mean Wall would move to point guard, and Arenas would move to shooting guard.

And oh, the trouble that would cause!

There is a school of thought that says the Wizards shouldn't have Arenas within a mile of Wall, such is Arenas' supposed toxicity. Arenas, the argument goes, will drag down Wall with him, into his world of bringing guns to the locker room, and suspensions, and unmentionable acts with teammates' footwear. Wall has no chance to resist the devilish charms of Arenas, the anti-teammate depressant, and the Wizards will sink deeper into the morass. What do you think ?

Jackson may have told L.A. reporters

Jackson may have told L.A. reporters that he was 90 percent certain he would coach the Lakers next season or retire, but someone who is very close to Jackson said that he would be watching what happens this summer like everyone else, and that he has not ruled out anything. Which would, logic dictates, include coaching somewhere else, like Cleveland or Chicago, if James is on board -- as long as the money is right. (I doubt the Bulls would get any kind of hometown discount.)

Brown pays the price for Cavs' playoff flameout

Mike Brown was fired by the Cleveland Cavaliers late, late Sunday night, which ESPN first reported and I got confirmed at 3 a.m.

It's unfortunate, but it wasn't surprising, not after the Cavs got run out by the Celtics in the second round, two rounds before they were supposed to be in the Finals. With everything at stake this summer with LeBron James, such an implosion couldn't occur without someone paying the price, and because there's no one left to trade, and no cap room to sign a big-time free agent, this was the last card the Cavaliers had left to play.

Kobe and Lakers

But for Kobe and the Lakers, facing Phoenix is hardly anything to celebrate. The defending champs are merely at the midpoint. Lose now and it's a failure, not an achievement. Longtime teammate Derek Fisher is putting plenty of stock in those two meetings, even though he actually wasn't with the Lakers when Phoenix won first-round series in 2006 and '07.

"It is personal for me," said Fisher, who's played 11 of his 14 seasons in Los Angeles. "Obviously we can't take back what happened then, but this is the closest we can get to doing it. And so I'm going to take on the extra emotion that a lot of the guys that were on those teams will have."

Whether LeBron James stays or goes will shape the rest of the summer's free agency moves

Everyone wants James, or Dwyane Wade, but are they willing to pay the freight for both? Are they willing to shell out big bucks for a coach in an era when teams are fighting to get coaching salaries back under control? Will current big spenders like Utah and San Antonio be able to survive this kind of arms race?

After the Cavaliers' collapse last week against the Celtics, no one knows what James wants. He made no dramatic proclamations or predictions in his postgame news conference, and said he would be forming his plan with his advisors and friends over the next few weeks -- leaving a vacuum that the unending news cycle will have to fill with endless speculation.

The Lakers Vs Phoenix Suns

The lakers will have their hand full with the Phoenix Suns, but I thank they will win because of the size difference. The Lakers front line is too big for the Suns. In order for the Suns to have a chance, they must try and run the socks off the Lakers. With Kobe, Paul Gosol and gang... it's going to be very hard to match up with them. The lakers beat the Suns 3 out 4 this year, but that was the regular season and the Suns are playing defense now. I thought I would never associate the Suns with playing tight defense. The Suns coach is doing a great job of leadership and providing a defense first attitude. I just don't think they're capable of betting the champions. The Phoenix Suns will have to sustain 48 minutes of flawless basketball every game. The Western Conference finals should be something to remember.

Boston Vs Cleveland

With Boston tying the series at two games apiece on Sunday, it's down to a best-of-three, with Game 5 on Tuesday now as pivotal as a Game 5 can be. Cleveland still has home-court advantage, but the Celtics have proven that they can win at Quicken Loans Arena, and the pressure is back on the Cavs to avoid a must-win back in Boston on Thursday.

These are two teams that believe they can win a championship. And though you can question the effort of each at times, it's doubtful that either will let go of the rope at this point. If Cleveland don't advance and bail out of the playoffs.. I think it's a done deal that LeBron will exit the city. Hopefully, LeBron team mates can pick up the ball and make some shots.
