The NBA Lockout is finally over, After many months, days, and hours, it’s over! Now we will finally see our hero of Orlando, Dwight Howard. Let’s hope and pray that he stays with us too. Also we will get to see the big three in Miami and Boston. One of the best players in the history of the NBA Kobe Bryant and the youngest scoring champion Kevin Durant will also be making an appearance.
The lockout couldn’t end at a better time, with Christmas just right around the corner. While I am talking about Christmas let me tell you, there are going to be some outstanding games on Christmas day, including some of the best players in the league. Some match ups will include the Miami Heat vs the Dallas Mavericks in a NBA finals rematch. Then you have Derrick Rose and the young Bulls vs Kobe and the wise old Lakers. For our hometown Magic and Dwight Howard takes on Kevin the “Durantula” Durant with his young and electrifying OKC Thunder.
With the lockout being done and over, the free agency has opened up and trade talks have already begun. Some players have been traded already, like, Lamar Odom- the Lakers 6th man. He was traded to the Dallas Mavericks, the champions of the 2011 season. There have been rumors of Dwight Howard our hometown hero being traded to either the New Jersey Nets, the LA Lakers, or the 2011 champs Dallas Mavericks. Speaking of the Mavericks, their center who was a big part of their defense, Tyson Chandler, was a free agent and signed with he New York Knicks to join Carmelo Anthony and Amar’e Stoudemire.
David West, who was a New Orleans Hornet last season was recently signed to a 2 year deal worth 20 million dollars with the Indiana Pacers. The Hornets franchise player Chris Paul is on the move to LA, but to the Lakers. He’s going to play with the Clippers and young breakout star Blake Griffin.
The NBA has been on blast since the lockout was unlocked. People getting traded from left to right. Free agents getting signed like nothing. It’s crazy. I would assume our generation is new to a lockout. Not our parents or grandparents since there have been lockouts before, but this one is full of drama. Just think of Dwight leaving us… Well, let’s just hope there won’t be another lockout for a long while.
