Blake Griffin for Dwight Howard trade Rumor

Interesting rumors in the Laker land, with Dwight Howard and Blake Griffin trade. ESPN reported, that the Clippers want to bring Howard to please Chris Paul.

However, a lot of people believes that Blake Griffin is untouchable in trades since he is still young and have an oppurtunity to improve, and he's also a team player. Dwight Howard is still the top center in the NBA despite his poor performance this season.

Once the Clippers and Celtics are done with their negotiations, Kevin Garnett and Doc Rivers for DeAndre Jordan and two draft picks, this will be an interesting trade.

Usain Bolt loses to Gatlin in Rome 100

Usain Bolt losses to Justin Gatlin by one-hundredth of a second on Thursday. Gatlin won the 100 meters at the Golden Gala meet.

Gatlin was timed in 9.94 seconds and was restrained in his celebration. The American has won all five of his 100-meter races this year and is shaping up as a serious threat to Bolt at the world championships in Moscow in August.

Bolt, the world-record holder and six-time Olympic champion, struggled in the first 50 meters despite his strong start. He started to gain ground on Gatlin nearing the finish but would have needed a bit more track to overtake him.

Bolt next run will be in 200 in Oslo, Norway, next week before he returns home for the Jamaican championships.

Jason Kidd Announces Retirement From NBA After 19 season

Jason Kidd announced his retirement on Monday from the NBA after 19 seasons, ending one of the greatest playmaker for a point guard in league history.

He won an NBA title and two Olympic gold medals, is second on the career list in assists and steals, and was a 10-time All-Star. But he struggled badly in the playoffs for the Knicks shortly after turning 40 and decided to walk away with two years and more than $6 million left on the deal he signed last summer.

Teammates loved him. The U.S. national team needed him.

"My time in professional basketball has been an incredible journey, but one that must come to an end after 19 years," Kidd said in a statement released by the New York Knicks. "As I reflect on my time with the four teams I represented in the NBA, I look back fondly at every season and thank each and every one of my teammates and coaches that joined me on the court."

Kidd led the Nets to two NBA Finals in 2002-03, he helped the Dallas Mavericks win the 2011 title, and was on the first Knicks team to reach the second round of the playoffs since 2000. Which only means the Knicks are back to first round exit.
