Antawn Jamison Finally Has Reason to Smile in Cleveland

Filed under: Cavaliers, Wizards

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio -- It wasn't long after he was traded that Antawn Jamison flashed back to the last time he was in Cleveland.

He would be excused if the memory caused him to get cold chills.

Because that game came the day after Gilbert Arenas had pulled the "pretend pistol" act in Washington's pregame huddle in Philadelphia, the "pretend pistol" act that caused NBA commissioner David Stern to suspend Arenas and say he was not mentally or emotionally fit to play.

With Arenas gone and the Wizards in Cleveland, Jamison was left to try to explain things for his team.

"We were in disarray and we didn't know what was going to happen," Jamison said. "It was one of those situations where it wasn't a pretty one."

No Buyout for Gooden, but Ilgauskas' Buyout Finalized

Filed under: Cavaliers, Clippers, Kings, Mavericks, Nuggets, Wizards

LOS ANGELES -- Before Wednesday night's game against Detroit, coach Kim Hughes was hopeful his Los Angeles Clippers would not buy out the contract of forward Drew Gooden by Monday's deadline. But he said there wasn't certainty.

There is now.

"We're going to keep him,'' Clippers general manager Mike Dunleavy said in phone interview shortly thereafter with FanHouse from Lexington, Ky., where he will scout Thursday's game between Kentucky and South Carolina. "There's no 'probably.'''

That could put an end to the list of marquee players who will be bought out by the March 1 deadline in order to be eligible for the playoffs with another team. The Washington Post reported Wednesday night a buyout has been reached with center Zydrunas Ilgauskas, and earlier in the day Sacramento had finalized a buyout with guard Larry Hughes.

Chargers release Tomlinson after 9 years

After nine mostly brilliant seasons, LaDainian Tomlinson was cut loose by the San Diego Chargers. Slowed by injuries and age, Tomlinson would have been paid more to produce less in a Chargers offense that was turning toward the passing game, and on Monday one of the NFL’s best running backs was officially released.
