Random but kind of related question since it involved the Nets: does Jay-Z really play any significant role with the Nets? Or is he more of a public face that makes the organization look cool and hip and give Jay something to brag about in his songs?

Shaquille O'Neal is seriously considering a two-year deal with the Hawks, according to Fanhouse.com.
Allen Iverson still hopes to play in the NBA next season, "[to] help any team that wants me, in any capacity that they feel that I can help."
Dwyane Wade spoke with Heat owner Micky Arison on Monday, but it wasn't a formal meeting and doesn't change Miami's standing offer of six years and $125 million.

The Heat are having "backburner" sign-and-trade talks with the Jazz about free agent Carlos Boozer.
The Heat would likely be offering Michael Beasley and possibly Jermaine O'Neal to get a deal done. They'd also be asking for Kyle Korver.
The Cavs will target free agent Mike Miller if LeBron James re-signs.
The Warriors have little-to-no interest in Al Jefferson, according to beat writer Marcus Thompson.

The Magic signed point guard Chris Duhon to a four-year, $15 million contract on Tuesday.
Carmelo Anthony is expected to accept the Nuggets' three-year, $65 million extension offer, a source tells the Denver Post.

He owns like 1.5% of the franchise, he's just a public ambassador for them.

Sources says Chris Bosh ain't going to Cleveland. Is LeBron trying to get out of Cleveland and make the Bosh the villain?
I still think LeBron stays, can't say I blame him, I don't know if I could stab my home state in the back and be hated in my own state for the rest of my life. The Cavs basketball wise are the worst choice of the suitors (yes even the Knicks are ahead of them with Amare and they cap space for next season), but I don't think he can leave unless he has a heart of stone.

And the sad part is the people in Cleveland who would hate him would really come off more as the bad guys. LeBron single handedly took that organization and brought them out of the shit hole. They went from Ricky Davis trying to get his own triple double to going to the 2007 Finals. I made a post a thread or two back asking when the last time was where a player single handedly won a title on his own. Every batman had his Robin. Yet he came the closest, dragging that dead ass team in 2007 to the Finals. I'll never forget him running 25 straight points off in the Palace. It isn't his fault management thought "championship pieces" meant Mo Williams and a broken down Shaquille O'Neal. So yeah, if he leaves I'm sure you're right. Cleveland is going to look at him as enemy #1 ... despite the fact that he is the only reason most of those fans care about basketball anymore. Cleveland is going to look downright sorry if they turn on him after all he did for them, just because he couldn't do what Jordan, Kobe, and Wade couldn't do. Win a title without a Robin or in the very least an amazing supporting cast.

The Heat have discussed a sign-and-trade with the Mavericks to acquire center Brendan Haywood, according to the Miami Herald.
The Heat would likely send Jermaine O'Neal and/or Michael Beasley to Dallas.
The Celtics are expected to meet with unrestricted FA big man Kwame Brown.

Suddenly, Shaq doesn't seem like such a bad option. They're gonna do something stupid, aren't they? *slams head off desk* Guys like him and Darko will always find work in the NBA, sadly. Well that sounds callous, but you get what I mean. Every GM wants to be the one genius who just knew the guy could play, so when he finally pans out the GM can inflate that self congratulatory ego of his even closer to the breaking point. Though you'd think after 5-6 years they'd learn to take a hint. Sometimes a player just is what he is. I know with injuries and retirements the Celts are thin up front and need bodies, but good grief, sometimes waiting it out to see if you can weather the storm is better than going on your roof and installing a pair of over weight, under skilled lightning rods and begging to get zapped.
