The 2007 NBA season is over and it's time for these players to go find themselves new teams in trades

It's that time of the year when we basically don't have anything on TV other than baseball.

Yep, the NBA season just ended and we are still a few months away from football. And just because we really have nothing much to write about, we'll just do the latest trade between the Houston Rockets and the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The Houston Rockets and the Minnesota Timberwolves completed a trade that saw Houston letting go of one of Texas' favorite sons. The Rockets sent Juwan Howard to Minnesota in exchange for Mike James, the same guy who has been having his fair share of problems regarding playing time when the Wolves drafted Randy Foye.

Of course, Mike James was ecstatic about the trade, he will probably get major minutes again since his breakout season with the Toronto Raptors.

''Even Houston thinking about me is a blessing but until I see it on the ticker I won't believe it. I'm so excited,'' Mike James said prior to the trade's completion. ''It would give me that chance to retire in Houston.''

''Maybe this will be good for both sides,'' Mike James added. ''You know, it's tough. Change is always tough. But, for me, it's like going back home.''

Minnesota Timberwolves executive Kevin McHale believes letting Mike James go was the right thing to do. ''Mike did not have the type of year that Mike wanted to have,'' McHale said. ''And he didn't fill the role for us that we had hoped that he would fill as far as spreading the court and making those shots.''

Talk about bringing a guy down eh?

As for the other end of the deal, Juwan Howard will be playing alongside Kevin Garnett and if Howard can continue the solid performances he has been having in Houston, they will form one solid frontcourt combo in Minnesota. Of course, many people said that when Michael Olowakandi arrived.

What a waste of human life that was.
