Bonzi Wells
Bonzi Wells would not mind catching on with the Heat. Wells tweeted his desire to play for Miami, alongside Jermaine O’Neal and Dwyane Wade.
“i would love to b in miami i could help them cats fa sho,” wrote Wells in one of his Twitter updates.
Both had contracts mandating they “opt in” for the final years of their deal. O’Neal will make nearly $23 million in 2009-10, while Diawara’s salary is around $900,000.

One veteran NBA scout’s view after watching Jermaine O’Neal (five points, two rebounds) in Game 1 against Atlanta: “He didn’t even look into it, wasn’t ready for the ball on passes. You’ve got to show some emotion in the playoffs. He looks shot.”

LeBron James on South Beach? Dwyane Wade in Cleveland? Or both of them in MSG?
James raised the possibility Sunday of the MVP candidates playing together somewhere after he was asked a question about the friendly rivalry between the U.S. Olympic teammates. The King was asked if he would prefer they both stay in the same conference, so they could play against each other more often, or end up in different conferences, so they could compete against each other for championships.

When Jermaine O’Neal was acquired from Indiana, he openly expressed that the trade was going to be the rejuvenation of his career. However, instead of forming one of the strongest frontcourt duo in the league with all-star Chris Bosh, O’Neal has not managed to live up to the expectations. Recent reports also indicate that O’Neal might already be on his way out of Toronto.
Larry Bird
Even though it has been five months since Jermaine O’Neal was traded to the Toronto Raptors, the big man is apparently still holding a grudge against Larry Bird and his former franchise.
Andrea Bargnani
Raptors president and general manager, Bryan Colangelo, mentioned this morning during an interview with FAN 590 that Andrea Bargnani might see some time at the small-forward position this season.

NBA Rumors was created by three college grads who played Division III NCAA basketball for Berkeley College. Back then, basketball was our life. A day did not go by without us talking about what was going on in the NBA.
Today, we are all working in our respective industries in Midtown Manhattan. And two years after we graduated, basketball started to fall out of our radar as we started spending more time in the office and less time on the court. Therefore, we created this blog to reunite our passion for the love of NBA and basketball across the world.
We hope that you will enjoy our blog. We are intensively working on our coffee breaks to bring you the best rumors that the NBA has to offer.
Sincerely,
