As I predicted yesterday, the Detroit Pistons are the first team to be eliminated from the post season. Today, they should have some company, as the Utah Jazz will be losing to the Los Angeles Lakers in LA. Both the Pistons and Jazz have many questions and few answers at the moment regarding their postseason plans and roster moves.
Starting with Detroit, according to the Detroit News, the Pistons should have roughly $20 million dollars available on free agents this summer. [click to continue…]

The World Famous LayupDrill Rumor Mill
4/25/09
Lakers center Andrew Bynum has not had quite the start to the NBA Playoffs he would have wanted so far, averaging only 7 points and more fouls(4) than rebounds(3). With Los Angeles looking to make adjustments after losing Game 3 in Utah, one move might be to shift Pau Gasol to center, and start Lamar Odom, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Bynum has seemed to have more productive action off the court recently than on. Rumors floated around the internet earlier this month that Bynum was dating Pop singer, and ex-girlfriend of Chris Brown, Rihanna, however that rumor was quickly shut down by both parties. Then, of course, was the infamous photo of Bynum at the Playboy mansion with a beautiful woman on his shoulders(see above photo).
In other news regarding the Lakers/Jazz series, the Jazz revealed Friday that when they take the floor for Game 4, Mehmet Okur may be on there with them. Okur attempted to play in Game 3, however his hamstring had not healed enough to let him go. The Jazz received a great game from Carlos Boozer, but the addition of Okur would not only stretch the Lakers defense in the post, but also free up Boozer and Paul Millsap for better looks when they are playing alongside the big man.
