Expect an update on his condition tomorrow or early Sunday.

Posted in Fantasy Basketball by DoubleDribble 574 days ago (http://ownersedge.fanball.com)
The News The Nets have reached a verbal agreement with Avery Johnson to be their new head coach, according to ESPN.com. Our View Johnson was the NBA's Coach of the Year with Dallas in 2005 and took the Mavericks to the finals in 2006 before being dismissed after the 2007-08 season. He's worked as an analyst with ESPN since that time but has been known to desire another NBA head coaching job, and now he has it.

Garnett's 25 not enough
Posted in Fantasy Basketball by DoubleDribble 575 days ago (http://ownersedge.fanball.com)
The News Kevin Garnett led the Celtics with 25 points, but Boston muffed their first home game in the series and fell 91-84 to the Lakers. They now trail 2-1 in the NBA Finals. Our View Garnett was 11-of-16 from the field, but wasn't much of a presence around the rim. He had just six boards and one block in the game. Still, he was more of a factor than Paul Pierce (5-of-12 for 15 points) and Rajon Rondo (11 points, three boards and eight dimes). No one was as bad as Ray Allen though. The usually reliable Allen was 0-of-13 from the field, missed all eight three-point attempts and finished with just two points, four rebounds and two assists. He'll need to wake up if the Celtics want to even this series.

The Nets, a team that is part-owned by Jay-Z, could be a possible destination after those three years. Again, let's remember that this is all speculation, and you'll be sure to here plenty more talk until James makes his final decision.
