Happy New Year to all our readers. tLayupDrill.com takes time today to reflect back on an incredible decade of pro basketball. The decade started and ended with a familiar site: Kobe Bryant lifting the NBA Title in the air in mid-June. Of course, the circumstances around the first 3peat run with Shaq, and his redemption title seems like a lifetime ago. In between all of that, we have seen the rise of the King(Lebron), CP3(Chris Paul), Steve Nash, Melo, D-Wade, and Dirk. We saw the decade begin with The Answer willing an undermanned Sixers team to the Finals, and Iverson humbly returning to Philly after being casted off as a has-been by the rest of the league.

LayupDrill.com takes some time to reflect back on the 10 best players of the decade, with the help of YouTube video to help remind you of some of them. Enjoy.

Rasheed Wallace to Spurs
The World Famous LayupDrill Rumor Mill
7/6/09

The Boston Celtics have won the latest bidding war amongst Eastern Conference powers this summer, with Rasheed Wallace being the prize this time around. The Boston Globe reports that Wallace has agreed to a 2 year deal worth between $5.6 and $5.8 million dollars annually. Wallace drew interest from the Magic, Spurs , and Cavs as well, but it’s noted his strong bond with Kevin Garnett helped tip the scale in favor of Boston. The C’s are interested in landing veteran swingman Grant Hill as well, though they can only offer him close to $2 million per season, far less than other teams.

In other news, ESPN is reporting Jason Kidd has agreed to a 3 year, $25 million dollar deal to remain in Dallas. Mavricks owner Mark Cuban was intent on making certain Kidd returned to Dallas. The Mavericks will now move to their next order of business, which is to attempt to re-sign Brandon Bass. Bass has drawn interest from a few teams, one of which is the Charlotte Bobcats.

The Salt Lake Tribune reports there are a half dozen teams that could be potential trade partners with the Utah Jazz for Carlos Boozer. Teams listed in the article included Detroit, Chicago, New Jersey, and Charlotte among others.
