Ray Allen continues to be a piece the Seattle Supersonics appear keen to move.  They are reportedly speaking with Portland about Shareef Abdur-Rahim, but eventually retreated, and they have also spoke with the Bucks about returning him to Milwaukee for Michael Redd, which would be an absolute steal for the Supersonics.

Maybe Joe Dumars should be the NBA Finals MVP.

As the Pistons? 41-year-old president of basketball operations, Dumars has done a miraculous job of rebuilding the franchise into a team on the verge of its first championship since his own playing days.

This Pistons team is built around defense and players other teams did not want.  It?s a motley crew that has worked to perfection on the court.

Dumars deserves heaps of credit for putting the pieces together to create a winning chemistry.
