Good Morning Cavs fans!  The Cavaliers put their 11-game winning streak on the line tonight at The Q against the dreadful New Jersey Nets.  I keep trying to think of ways the Cavaliers could fall into a trap tonight but I just can't think of a way, especially with the Nets likely to be without Devin Harris.  The hope is that Delonte West will return tonight as well, which would be a welcome sight.  The Cavaliers schedule gets much tougher after tonight - starting with Orlando on Thursday.  Now, on to the links!

NBA.com: In world of trade talk, chatter rarely lives up to hype
Weeks of speculation that almost never pan out and aren't anchored by any kind of reality. If it's not an agent looking to place his client(s) somewhere else, it's a GM, on orders of his silent owner, looking to create a market for a player he wants to to ditch. Even the "truth" of something, like Team A is shopping a player, is normally calculated by Team A for its own self-interest. Plus, almost everyone is lying this time of year; the teams that are really looking to do something deny it even when they're caught red-handed.
