Were that actual news. Which it's not. That's just me being a jokester. But I'm not kidding at all that results from the annual NBA.com General Manager survey have been released.

Futurecast favorite Sun Yue may be around next year after all. View full size photo uploaded September 13, 2009 Thank goodness some stuff happened this weekend, otherwise this write-up would've been the sparsest one yet. If I had to guess, I'd say that fewer guys are signing European contracts these days because there are fewer to sign. Most of the available roster spots have already been filled either...

Sun spent last season as a reserve for the Los Angeles Lakers, who drafted him in the second round in 2007.

After a championship season, for the fans, it's nice when the big offseason question is whether it's more likely that the Lakers will win 70 games or a championship . Us Warrior fans are wondering if the Warriors will win 70 games in TWO seasons and even thinking about a championship is out of the question. For the franchise, the big offseason news wasn't Lamar Odom 's empty threat of leaving or Trevor...

Steve Nash on the Search for the Next Sun Yue! Nash will be visiting one of the only continents he has not hit in his longest offseason since returning to the Suns in 2004. The league is sending Nash to China to be the judge in a reality show that will give one Chinese basketball player, American Idol-style, an opportunity with a D-League team in the U.S.
