Mailbag: Scrambled thoughts By Emily Allen Today’s Project Spurs fan mail comes from Brian Storey from down-under in Australia. He has a stream-<strong>of</strong>-conscious on various players and I try to tackle them one at a time. “With the season gone now I thought I’d get back in touch with a couple <strong>of</strong> brief thoughts. I’m sure there will be thousands <strong>of</strong> season reviews and all will be along similar lines. Key notes are, positives: Hill and Blair (although a suitable front court mate for Blair is needed); negatives: definitely the regression <strong>of</strong> Mason who looked a player in his first Spurs season, and the very disappointing RJ. I thought rather than looking back, I’ll look forward instead. There will be a lot <strong>of</strong> Parker trade talk, and while I don’t want to see him traded, I thought I’d entertain the possibility. A scenario I almost like involves the Griz. It centres around TP for Rudy Gay (sign and trade) and Mike Conley. There are a couple other pieces in it I would look at as well, but that’s the core. Gay fills the need on the wing and makes RJ very tradeable at the deadline where he ceases to be known as RJ the player and becomes known as RJ’s expiring contract. Conley takes TP’s place in a decent rotation with Hill and Manu. The Grizz cannot hold onto Gay anyway and have looked to trade Conley previously. From that, you also hope that Splitter comes over and while he is unlikely to be the saviour, he gives additional depth in the front court. We would not have been killed by the Suns pick and roll with Splitter defending it (side note – why did Pop not even try Mahinmi who is excellent defending the pick and roll? Even for 5 minutes). Regardless, with RJ’s expiring contract to work with, they’ll have one <strong>of</strong> the better assets come the mid-season trade deadline anyway and could pull <strong>of</strong>f a decent deal with a cap cleaner. The biggest thing that needs addressing is reliable outside shooting. Bonner will be back. He is the best shooter on the roster and while he is <strong>of</strong>ten the subject <strong>of</strong> Spurs fans ire, he has a skill set that is in demand. A wing who can hit the open shot... maybe a Korver, Rasual Butler, Eddie House, or Kapono? All available and might look at the Spurs... would help as well. I also like the thought <strong>of</strong> signing Sean Livingston. If TP gets traded, he could be had cheap and would be a low risk, (potentially) high reward guy. At worst, he’d be a very solid backup. Just a couple <strong>of</strong> thoughts, and probably quite scrambled.” -- Brian Storey Hi Brian, Thanks for making my first fan email so hard – just kidding. I’ve gone through your “scrambled” thoughts and made the best <strong>of</strong> it by <strong>of</strong>fering my own opinion. To be honest, I really don’t see Parker going anywhere nor do I see Grizzlies owner Michael Heisley cutting either In this edition: Page 2 Local soccer FOXSports.com Kaka isn’t concerned with his fitness ahead <strong>of</strong> the World Cup, and said Friday he is ready to take on the responsibility <strong>of</strong> being Brazil’s leader at the tournament. Kaka enters the tournament as Brazil’s biggest star, but he also arrives heavily affected by injuries that have put in doubt his performance in South Africa. The Real Madrid playmaker, however, is confident he will be in good physical condition when the World Cup begins. “I am getting better every day,” Kaka said. “The injury does not bother me anymore. I’ve been doing everything planned so far and by the time we play the opener I Jon Paul Morosi and Ken Rosenthal FOXSports.com Major League Baseball commissioner Bud Selig didn’t change the incorrect call that cost Armando Galarraga a perfect game, but he did vow to consider the expanded use <strong>of</strong> instant replay after a series <strong>of</strong> umpiring contro- In touch with the community: Page 7 Perry issues initiative for vets Kaká not worried with his fitness ahead <strong>of</strong> World Cup 32 Teams in 32 Days: Germany Jamie Trecker FoxSoccer.com Country: Germany Nickname: None (sometimes called “Die Mannschaft”) Germany is the cornerstone <strong>of</strong> modern Europe, with the largest economy in the EU (third largest overall in the world) and its central bank underwriting the common currency, the Euro (given the mess that Greece is in -- and the fact that Germany has to bail out their own banks, which bought Greek paper -- they probably wish they weren’t). Germany is also one <strong>of</strong> the most Gasol clearly superior to KG this time Mark Kriegel FOXSports.com Rematches like this between the <strong>La</strong>kers and the Celtics <strong>transform</strong>s the press <strong>into</strong> an army <strong>of</strong> provocateurs, making instigators <strong>of</strong> inquisitors, turning commentators <strong>into</strong> matchmakers. Hence, the other day, Pau Gasol was asked about Kevin Garnett’s pre-fight tactics. “I don’t feel like he talks that much to me,” said Gasol, whose lack <strong>of</strong> physicality embodied the Brazilian football midfielder Kaká.

East Germany was a separate political entity -- with its own national team (the DDR) -- for over four decades after WWII. Germany is still recovering from reunification, having spent billions <strong>of</strong> dollars on repairing the ex-East Germany’s failing infrastructure during a period <strong>of</strong> contraction in the world economy. Still dependent upon heavy industry, Germany is slowly shifting toward a hi-tech approach. <strong>La</strong>kers’ failure in the 2008 Finals. “That’s his game to certain guys. He likes to intimidate you like that verbally and physically. But I haven’t felt that.” More accurately, Gasol hasn’t felt that for a while: “You know, to be honest, I don’t really pay a lot <strong>of</strong> attention to that. If anything, I try for that to motivate me and actually to get me pissed, pissed <strong>of</strong>f and really attack him.” Gasol was going to attack Garnett? Really? It sounded pretty good on Wednesday. Still, you knew the game was to be played Germany’s Lukas Podolski. (Courtesy photo) will be in great condition.” Kaka is coming <strong>of</strong>f an injury plagued season that kept him from playing at his best with Real Madrid. He sustained groin and thigh problems that kept him sidelined for 45 days at one point, unable to perform like the FIFA player <strong>of</strong> the year he once was. Brazil doctors said the groin problem is not an issue anymore, and that the left thigh ailment should not keep Kaka from starting for Brazil in the team’s World Cup opener against North Korea on June 15. “I was worried at first,” Kaka said. “It was very limiting, but now I’m being able to move around much better. I’m going through intense treatment and with 10 days left until the opener on Thursday, and two years later, the burden <strong>of</strong> pro<strong>of</strong> remained squarely with Gasol. Would Garnett punk him again? Well, if Game 1 <strong>of</strong> the <strong>2010</strong> Finals falls short <strong>of</strong> a definitive answer, it’s certainly the beginning <strong>of</strong> one. As it happened, Gasol- Garnett was the evening’s critical matchup. But their famous first act yielded no clues. This time, it was Gasol who had his way. Little wonder the famously voluble Garnett has finally stopped talking trash to the Spaniard. You want the game in numbers? After three quarters, Gasol had 18 points to Garnett’s 12. He had three blocks. Garnett, long alleged to be among the game’s most intimidating defenders, had none. Gasol had 10 rebounds. Garnett had one. One. A single rebound in almost 26 minutes. Not coincidentally, the game was already over. The score was 84-64. The plus-nine rebounding advantage that Gasol enjoyed over Boston’s seven-footer was reflected in the astounding differential between the teams.

Galarraga lost his bid with two out in the ninth inning <strong>of</strong> Wednesday night’s game against the Cleveland Indians, when umpire Jim Joyce ruled that Jason Donald had reached base safely on a ground ball to the right side. Joyce subsequently admitted that he was wrong. Selig didn’t explicitly rule out the possibility that he would I will be fine.” Kaka has been practicing normally with the rest <strong>of</strong> the Brazilian players since the team arrived in South Africa on May 27, but continues to receive separate treatment even when the other players get a break. He played 45 minutes in Brazil’s 3-0 win over Zimbabwe in a warmup in Harare on Wednesday and said he felt fine. “It wasn’t my best match with Brazil, but it was very positive,” the 28-year-old Kaka said. “I was able to do a lot on the field without any problems.” It was his first match in more than a month, and coach Dunga also was pleased with what he saw.

One MLB source said there is “no chance” that Selig will change his mind in the future. So, to fans in <strong>De</strong>troit, it was a 28-out perfect game. In the record books, for now, it is a one-hit shutout. See Mailbag...page 3-B Major League Baseball commissioner Bud Selig. (Courtesy photo) See Selig...page 3-B
