| Giddens told to go home | Sunday 7/6, 9:53 PM CT |
|
The Boston Herald reports that the Celtics have told first round pick J.R. Giddens to go home and not participate in minicamp.
Our View: Giddens entered a pretty rough situation. The Celtics have very little space but want to do what they can to retain James Posey or try to add other veterans. |

| Carter likely to re-sign with Denver | Sunday 7/6, 5:29 PM CT |
|
The Rocky Mountain News reports that Anthony Carter is likely to accept the Nuggets offer to play next year for $1.26 million dollars.
Our View: The veteran was serviceable last season in Denver, making 67 starts and averaging 5.5 assists. Chucky Atkins is still signed. Theoretically, a point guard on a team featuring Allen Iverson and Carmelo Anthony should be a factor in fantasy leagues. However, this does not appear to be the case. At this point, the starting point guard in Denver should only be drafted in very deep leagues. |

| Beasley cleared for summer league | Sunday 7/6, 3:11 PM CT |
|
Michael Beasley, who is nursing a fractured sternum, has competed in full-contact scrimmaging the past two days and has been cleared to participate in the Heat summer league starting Monday, according to the Sun Sentinel. He said, "I'm going to play until my chest caves in. If I get hit, it's going to hurt. I ain't playing not to get hurt. I feel it in everything I do, but I ain't gonna be soft about it, I ain't gonna baby it. That's going to make it worse."
Our View: This is favorable news, and he is displaying the toughness that factored into his number two selection by the Heat in the draft. |
