Everyone knows it's the summer of Lebron James, but could the NBA Draft determine where King James plays next year. Everyone knows New Jersey is in running for the number one pick in the NBA Draft. What would happen if they got it. Many people think that they would take Kentucky's John Wall. Lebron James and John Wall are friends and that would be the perfect point guard for Lebron James to work with. Jay-z the rap mogul wants James to come to New Jersey as well and with a new owner with deep pockets it's a possibility.
As you can see the NBA Draft could actually have an impact on where Lebron James does play basketball. Given a chance to play with a point guard like John Wall or even Evan Turner maybe something James would not want to turn down. It's gotta be nice to be Lebron James and know you have so many possible choices. I guess in a few months we will see how it plays out, but many people will be watching the NBA draft as you never know what impact it could have on James and his decision.

NBA Loses Coaching Great Chuch Daly

Chuck Daly, who coached the original Dream Team to the Olympic gold medal in 1992 after winning back-to-back NBA championships with the Detroit Pistons, has died. He was 78. He died Saturday morning in Jupiter, Fla., with his family by his side, the team said. The Pistons announced in March that the Hall of Fame coach had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and was undergoing treatment.
He was renowned for his ability to create harmony out of diverse personalities at all levels of the game, whether they were Ivy Leaguers at Pennsylvania, Dream Teamers Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley, or Pistons as dissimilar as Dennis Rodman and Joe Dumars.
Chuck Daly left his mark on the Detroit Pistons and the NBA, slowing the tempo and emphasizing defense on the way to a pair of titles. Daly was voted one of the 10 greatest coaches of the NBA's first half-century in 1996, two years after being inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame. He was the first coach to win both an NBA title and Olympic gold.
