The Toronto Raptors agreed to send Jermaine O'Neal and Jamario Moon to the Miami Heat in exchange for Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks, which is totally rocking your world if you play fantasy NBA. Otherwise, you know that O'Neal has been a marked man since the "Malice at the Palace" and it's hard to see him working well with Wade.

Marion, 30, is averaging 12 points a game this year is looking more and more like one of the many players whose numbers were inflated under Mike D'Antoni in Phoenix.Early Thursday evening, a Kansas State fan left KU center Cole Aldrich's cell phone number on a KSU message board. With the Wildcats and Jayhawks scheduled to battle Saturday afternoon, K- State fans gave Cole a few dozen, or hundred, texts and phone calls. Aldrich was not amused. He returned at least one call, leaving a message which contained phrases like "dunk the ball all over you (mf'ers)" and "can't wait to drop 20-10 on you." Deadspin has link to the audio.
Yeah, so that thing about certain flavors of Vitamin Water causing you to fail NCAA drugs tests? No so much, says SportsByBrooks. It's an urban legend, like spider eggs in bubble gum and that thing about a hamster and Rod Stewart. Or was it Richard Gere and a gerbil? Anyway, who cares about the NCAA. Our question is whether drinking Vitamin Water can really help LeBron James be a lawyer? Actually, that's a lie. That question came from a SportsByBrooks commenter, "Abe Froman,"and was too go to ignore. Many props to the Sausage King.
