4ptsplay for the tie.

Welcome Hoop Troop,
7 daily items delivered to you for a quick NBA fix.

1. It seems though the Jazz would prefer to net some real talent for Boozer, they just cannot get a break. Early yesterday, some reports surfaced from Ric Bucher about the knicks being interested in a Boozer-Lee swap. Well last night, Alan Hahn refuted those claims and responded.

2. Well, it seems former Mavs player, Jerry Stackhouse may have a thing or two left in the tank.

3. Speaking of left in the tank, could it be? Starbury in the D-league. Folks, we wish, but I couldn't imagine him with that much freedom.

4. Seems the refs are making progress in deciding on what their worth is.
Update there may be a lockout imminent.

5. With so much interest in the Hawks this week, here is a good analysis on their upcoming season.

6. Does it surprise anyone as much as it does me, who the 6th highest player is on the Lakers squad?

7. In a minimal move, it seems the Pacers are close to acquiring Luther Head

8. Great read on D-Wade
