NBA -OFFSEASON UPDATES AND FREE AGENCY

This off season  has been a very interesting off season, from the free agency, to big named players being waived because of cap space. One of the biggest names that has been discussed this off season, is Dwight Howard, we now know that Howard will be playing for the Houston Rockets next season. Another big name  that had been discussed this off season was Metta World Peace (Ron Artest) who played for the Los Angeles Lakers this season. World Peace, will now headed to New York, to add to the knicks talent and will help them win a title in the 2013-2014 season. Along with these big names, we had some minor names that made a name for themselves this past post season. Mike Miller of the Miami Heat. Miller helped the Miami Heat get to the 2012-2013 finals this past season, being a key offensive three pointer shooter for the Heat. Miller is reported to have signed a deal on July 25th with his former team the Memphis Grizzlies . Miller played for the Memphis Grizzlies 2003-2008 before joining the Miami Heat in 2009, which he would go on to help the Miami heat win two titles. This past post season, we also saw another break out star in the post season, by the name of D.J Augustin. Augustin's contract with the pacers had ended after this season, and the pacers had no interest in resigning the defensive specialist. Augustin backed up George Hill in the playoffs this past season , and helped the pacers make it all the way to the Eastern Conference Finals. Augustin next season will be taking his talents to the Toronto Raptors, where he will back up guard Kyle Lowry. On July 23rd we also learned that break out playoff star Nate Robinson of the Chicago Bulls will no longer be returning back to the bulls. When  the bulls team was beginning to fall apart in the playoffs because there team leadership etc, Nate Robinson stepped up and became a leader for the bulls teams. Even at times, Robinson would be very ill during games, (once pukeing through the entire game because of the flu), but would find a way to help the team get to the eastern conference semi finals with out the key line up. Robinson signed a two year dill with the Denver Nuggets worth up to 4.1 million over two years.
