Sam Smith-Dream Over


All those monday mornings that Sam Smith insisted that the Bulls acquire Pau Gasol have finally come to an end. The GM wannabe can now move on to other laundry list conspiracy theories and acquisitions we can only dream of.

The trade deadline is over Sam and no Gasol deal, no Garnett deal, and, of course, no Kidd deal. Nothing left to do but keep drinking. What a business to be in, kind of like hollywood journalism, just keep pushing juicy deals and salicious off the court activity and be the #1 nba writer. We're still waiting for the next "Jordan Rules" Sam.

As for the Bulls, Sam will have to deal with their 6th seed. At the moment this would lead to a first round debacle against the Cavs. The deliniation from here would be Skiles job- not a bad thing- and the questoining of Pax's actual qualifications to be a GM. A mediocre player who hit a few key shots and did some commentary for radio.

Sam may have a point in annointing himself GM. He is as qualified in his own way as Pax. Sam pushed for the Curry deal throughout '05 and Pax finally listened. Its too bad Pax didn't listen to Sam on the Gasol deal. The trade deadline is over and so may Pax's reign. Don't worry though, Sam's ready.

what a disappointing trade deadline. this season it looks like a forgone conclusion that dallas will win.
