Well, after Roddick dropped off yesterday, the only story that is left in Wimbledon is a possible Nadal/Federer rematch (first time since 2008, since in 2009 Nadal’s knee was injured) and naturally the William’s sisters probably having another show-down at the finish.

With all of the almost-upsets this year (Federer’s first round, etc) I was hoping for a drastically different field for the quarter and semi finals. When you have players fighting for multiple grass titles instead of first time, it does lose a lot of the watchability (at least for me).

World Cup should be cool to follow today; really focusing on Spain/Portugal. I might sneak downstairs to the deli in our lobby and try to watch some of the game, but I will probably just tab in and out of ESPN’s little soccer tracker during the game.

For me, the real hype is LeBron right now. I know a lot of people don’t like Pro Basketball because of the really whiney players, but I think this is a really amazing moment for the NBA that most sports-inclined people know about. Free-agency starts for LeBron on July 1st, and I presume Sports Center will be more or less nothing but Lebron rumors (as if it wasn’t already).

Did anybody watch the NBA draft? It sounds like Black Aspen watched the NHL draft the night after, any surprises there?

Dtrain, you are in Omaha and a Cubs fan…making it out to the College World Series at all? I thought about going over there, but I don’t follow College Baseball enough to really know the players/teams/etc.

Quote:Jun 29, 2010 - In order to create more salary-cap space for the free-agent spending spree that's about to start, the Nets have traded forward Yi Jianlian to the Wizards for swingman Quinton Ross, according to multiple reports. NetsDaily has more on the salary-cap implications of the deal here:

The move will give them a bit more than $30 million in space and put them back in second place among teams seeking top free agents behind the Knicks. The Nets would need $33 million to sign two max free agents.

In return, the two report the Nets will receive journeyman small forward Quinton Ross. Initially, it was reported the Nets might be wind up with one of the Wizards' draft picks. [Dave] D'Alessandro reports that the deal will be announced this afternoon. Ross will be paid $1.14 million, $2.91 million less than Yi's $4.05 million.

Also, protip: making fun of the Men's US Soccer 2010 World Cup squad when Canada couldn't even qualify is the same sort of short-sighted, childish gibing that I would expect from someone who - as recently as just a few short months ago - would take showers immediately after toking up because he was afraid his mommy would catch him. Grow up plz. Same to you chief

BUT. If there was any way he was planning on joined LeBron's free class......it probably means Doc Rivers is done. This probably means Ray Allen is out too.

Honestly? I can't see him going anywhere else. Drafted out of high school right to the Celtics (ironically a huge Lakers fan all his life).

Sportscenter is frothing over it, but I don't see him leaving. His jersey is getting retired...it has to.
