A Quick Burst of Rumors

TJ Ford may go through Forced Retirement?
Raptors' guard TJ Ford has been out quite sometime and the Raptors management are fearing that Ford may be forced to go through premature retirement due to his history of nagging injuries that started with undergoing a spinal injury that resulted in him missing the whole 2004-2005 season, arm injuries during last year's playoffs and a head injury after a fall on December 11 in Atlanta. Congratulations if you have nabbed Jose Calderon on your team as he is averaging 10.8 points and 8.2 assists this season.

Webber to the Heat or Pistons?
Chris Webber might be returning to the NBA and might play with Detroit or Miami. Bet on Miami, as it seems like the Heat is doing all it can to put together an old-legged supporting cast for Dwayne Wade. They recently lost Alonzo Mourning in a career-ending injury (considering he proclaimed this as his last season) and it seems adding an old-legged player in replacement to another old-legged player is probably a good decision Miami-wise.

Marbury on an Extended Leave
We grieve for the loss of your father but when will we know when you will start to play again, Starbury? Marbury owners are worried - in fact, he has been dropped in a lot of (shallower) leagues because of his uncertainty. Is Marbury seeking a buyout from New York? Will he even come back (he did express interest in playing in Europe)? Knicks fans have mixed emotions on this, but sometimes I think they are better off without Marbury. If this situation happens, Nate Robinson will benefit the most, and also, expect a slight increase of value for Jamal Crawford and Fred Jones.

Other Rumors
- Gary Payton and Travis Best think they can help out Rajon Rondo with the point guard duties in Boston!
-Phoenix and Dallas are interested in the disgruntled Utah guard Gordan Giricek (whose playing time has been eaten by the Jazz' younger players)
