Sorry about the delay, grad school got in the way of the Commish's duties. Hate when that happens.

Did you at least explain to your profesors about your new duties.  I am sure they would give you an extension for that reason.  

Haha...I wish it was so simple.

This trade certainly has more excitement attached to it right now the any of the real Celtic rumors. 

The ORLANDO MAGICS --- where generating make believe excitement happens!

We in Toronto understand Sacramento's frustrations.  Ever since this deal was annouced we have been fielding calls from fans all saying, "Why didnt you accept Sacramentos off of a 7th and 9th rounder for the 12th pick in the 3rd round?"  We have taken alot and I repeat alot of heat in the media up here in Canada for passing on that trade.  The media is crucifying us for passing up a chance to, "worsen our team significantly this year and in the future by accepting Sacramento's trade."  But that is ok we in the Toronto office realize that with a position of power there will be those that criticize your moves, even though Sarah Palin cant take the heat, we will not like her resign in the face of adversity.

Washington - The Washington DC Boxers in an afternoon press conference announced today that they pleased to name Jeff Van Gundy head coach. Van Gundy is the former coach of the Houston Rockets and New York Knicks and has recently been working as a color analyst for nationally televised NBA games on ESPN.

When asked what was the main reason for returning to the coaching ranks Van Gundy replied "I would have to say the main reason is because I wanted to properly represent my family name. My brother Stan has acted like such a sniveling, whining coward for the past few years and I thought it was time to show the world that the words Van Gundy didn't equal Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.."

At the same press conference general manager nickagneta was pleased to announce a complicated three team trade with Orlando and Phoenix. said nickagneta "It was a complex deal and I think one in which our teams's goals of improving our chances of being an outstanding team were met. I would like to thank Phoenix's IndeedPorceed and Orlando's Lucky17 without who this deal would not have gone down. I think all three teams did well for themselves."
