Riles Finally Rid Of Walker

"Antoine Walker's turbulent time with the Miami Heat is over.
The Heat traded the three-time All-Star forward to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday in a five-player deal that came one day after Miami completed a winless preseason.
Walker, backup center Michael Doleac, oft-injured forward Wayne Simien and a conditional first-round draft pick were sent to Minnesota for former Miami swingman Ricky Davis and center Mark Blount.
The deal gives Miami the third scoring option it wanted in Davis. The Heat will try to fit him in alongside Shaquille O'Neal and Dwyane Wade -- the 2006 finals MVP who'll miss a few more weeks while recovering from knee and shoulder surgeries. "

Seems to be a good deal for the Heat. A few things to note though: Blount's longer contract and more importantly, less playing time for Dorrell Wright as Davis seems to be figured to eat into the starting 2 and 3 spots, as well as backup for each position.

Nice Song from a New Band

Select the song "Sabihin"from the embedded music player. I haven't gotten around listening to the whole playlist but their sound looks to be promising and refreshing. Hopefully, they don't turn out to be like SinoSiKat -their album sounds like one endless loop of a single song (even though I did like Safety Off). Here's to the five-beer vocalist and to the new band, Zelle.
