The long awaited free agency period in the NBA is finally underway. Unfortunately, Lebron is yet to sign, and the suspense lives on. However, another big move was made when the Hawks resigned their point guard Joe Johnson to a huge deal. Joe Johnson might no be a Lebron or Dwade, but the Hawks did win the 3rd seed last year, and with stars moving around, keeping their core players together is crucial. With Lebron out of Cleveland, they can overtake the Magic, and potentially take over as the best team in the east.

What about David Wright? After a disappointing season last year, it seemed as if he had lost his form. Many people thought he might not have such a good year this year. However, he has topped his last seasons HR total, and almost matched the RBI amount in the first half. He was also voted to start for the NL in the all star game. More importantly, he has the Mets in a penant race this season. If the Mets can acquire another arm, they might be able to make a post- season push, and might end up in the World Series.
