NBA

– Just when it looked like Dwight Howard might actually stick around in Orlando, talks of a four-team trade with the new Superman ending up in New Jersey have surfaced.

– Chris Paul, justifiably angry at the league for squashing trades that would have allowed him to leave New Orleans, looks prepared to take legal action.

– And don’t count the Lakers out just yet in the race for Howard and Paul.

The Nuggets have re-signed free agent big man Nene – five years and $67 million for the Brazilian.

– The fight for free agent Jamal Crawford’s services has come down to three teams – Portland, New York and Sacramento.

– Rudy Fernandez and Corey Brewer got shipped from Big D to the Mile High City yesterday.

– I sure as hell wouldn’t want Kevin Garnett mad at me like he is with David Stern.  Good luck with that, Mr. Stern.

NCAA

– Did Xavier’s president throw holy water on Xavier fans during the Cincinnati-Xavier brawl this past weekend?!

– There’s no return date in sight for injured Ohio State star Jared Sullinger.
