I have assembled both of my All-Star teams for the NHL and NBA with both league's regular seasons having ended. There are three All-Star teams (or lines for hockey) and there is a goalie for each NHL line. This has nothing to do with team value, but rather how well the player played overall.

3/3 NBA News: Corey Brewer to Sign

March 3rd 2011 15:26

It comes as no surprise that defensive specialist Corey Brewer will sign with the Dallas Mavericks. They had the most money of the three main suitors for Brewer, and they also had their mid-level exception left. It all equated to Brewer going to Dallas. He was traded to the Knicks in a Knicks-T'Wolves swap that was supposed to be a nice one for the Knicks. Instead, they bought out Brewer's contract in what was a pretty stupid move. Brewer is 25 and now has a multi-year contract with the Mavs. I see him being a really nice addition for this team. It was a great move, and he will be a quality contributer.

Utah Jazz head coach Ty Corbin received a two year deal with a team option for the third year. The front office was impressed with how Corbin led his team through the turbulent time in which their best player was traded, and their legendary coach was fired. The players have fed off from him, but Corbin still needs to bring home some tangible results. I don't need anything big from him, but I want to see Corbin actually win some games.

Leon Powe likes Memphis, and apparently Memphis likes him as well. Powe was released by the Cavs, and it really isn't surprise why. While Powe is athletic, I think he is a poor player. People think he is decent because he went on a tear in the playoffs a couple of years ago with Boston, but that was a hot streak. Powe can become an average player in this league, but I wouldn't get my hopes up about it. I think Powe is nothing more than a bench player at this point.

Kevin Love could get a six year deal worth 70 million. That wouldn't be a bad deal in my opinion because Love is three games away from beating the consecutive double-double streak of 50 set by legend Moses Malone. Love is a rebounding machine that is far and away the team's best player. A little under 12 million dollars is a nice deal for somebody that important to their respective team. Love's contract will be extended after a new CBA in place when the current one expires on June 30.

The Nuggets want to keep new point guard Raymond Felton on a long term deal. That would be a smart move, and it would maximize the value they received in the Carmelo Anthony trade. Felton is a solid point guard that is better than Ty Lawson. Lawson is average- which isn't bad- but I know that Felton is more appealing to the Nuggets. Dwight Howard has reiterated that he wouldn't dream of leaving Orlando. If I were him, I wouldn't either.
