Posted: 26th June 2010 by Juan Sarinas in NBA
To many NBA observers who were watching the NBA Draft yesterday , it was not any picks by any team during the course of the draft, nor was it the trades that gave both the Chicago Bulls and Miami Heat bigger salary cap spaces in anticipation of the first day of free agency in the 1st of July.

Phoenix Coyotes can take inspiration from classic film “Field of Dreams”

The classic baseball movie Field of Dreams , starring Kevin Costner and Amy Madigan, was one of the best sports films ever produced. It also serves as an inspiration for fans of the Phoenix Coyotes—hopeful that the team's recent problems with bankruptcy and attendance will not drive the promising young team away, probably up to Hamilton, Ontario.
