Ok, It looks like we may have finally gotten to the bottom of this whole Baron Davis and Steve Nash mystery that has been perplexing the blogosphere for the past couple of weeks.

Turns out they were shooting a movie. That’s pretty much what everyone though but what was with the getups?

Here’s a video that I think is supposed to explain it but it left me more confused then when I started.

Thanks to True Hoop for puttin me up on this one.

Hmmm… So I’m still trying to decide if I like this Ron Artest deal that went down today.

NBA front-office sources confirmed to ESPN.com that Artest will be dealt to the Rockets in exchange for Houston’s first-round draft pick in 2009, ex-King Bobby Jackson (who arrives with a $6.1 million expiring contract) and the draft rights to Donte Greene. The Kings will also receive more than $1 million in cash, according to The Houston Chronicle, but the deal can’t be announced before Aug. 14 because Greene is not eligible to be traded before then.

This is an interesting deal. If you look at it on paper, this team looks like they will be unstoppable. With this deal they will become the deepest lineup in the league.

Yao/Deke…Scola/Landry/Hayes/Dorsey…Artest/Battier/Novak/Harris….Tmac/Barry/Head….Rafer/Francis/Brooks.

If everyone can stay healthy and sane then this could be a big season for the Rockets.

Will Ron Artest be able to keep his cool?? I think he will probably be ok. The Rockets have a lot of vets on the team that won’t have that. Guys like Tmac, Battier and Barry will help keep things cool.

I think this is a great deal for the Rockets.

It’s not bad for the Kings either. They get two expiring contracts and a young guy with a lot of potential in Donte Greene plus a first rounder next year.

ESPN - Former NBA referee Tim Donaghy was sentenced to 15 months in prison Tuesday for setting off a gambling scandal that tarnished the league’s reputation and raised questions about the integrity of its officiating.

I think this is a pretty lenient sentence. He definitely should’ve gotten more time but of course since he cooperated he got less time.

When dudes start snitching you really can’t tell whats the truth and whats not. I hope he was lying about the NBA fixing games with the refs but I don’t know.

I’ll tell you one thing though, I’m still pissed about the Kings/Lakers game in 2002.

ESPN - NBA front-office sources told ESPN.com that Biedrins was en route to Oakland on Sunday night after agreeing to a new six-year contract with the Warriors believed to be worth nearly $63 million. The contract, sources said, will likely be signed Monday and include a player option for Biedrins to return to the free-agent market in the summer of 2013 after the fifth season.

Biedrins’ agent, Bill Duffy, confirmed the player’s verbal agreement with the Warriors on Sunday night, saying: “I am so ecstatic for this young man, who came to a new country as an 18-year-old and has worked diligently to improve his game and assimilate to the NBA. He is committed to the Warriors and will continue to improve and help stabilize this team for the next six years.”

He got paid more than he probably should’ve because of the threat of him going overseas. Will this be a new trend of teams trying to stop guys from going to Europe to play? I hope not.

Ok so here are the new Nike Hyperdunk ads that you may see in the streets of NYC or LA right now. Obviously the ads depict guys getting posterized in a not so lovely way.

These ads have started a bit of a controversy.  On WK and Gawker people are crying out that these pics are homophobic.  I guess it’s because it shows the guys who are being posterized, in a crappy position.

I really don’t think they’re that bad though.  I think people need to lighten up and just be happy that they aren’t the dude in the red right now.

What do you guys think?  Are these pics homophobic?

This week Josh Childress left the Atlanta Hawks to play with the Greek Squad the Olympiakos. The main reason for going overseas is that he can make more money over there right now. His deal is going to be about 3 years, $20 million after taxes. Not too bad for a backup.

So what do you do when you are a new country and you don’t know anybody and you want to get your name out there. Hit the Club of course.

In this video that I found today via True Hoop, Childress is partyin’ it up in Greece to Fat Joe’s lean back.

Is that song just hitting the clubs out there? That song came out in 2004. They’re a little late.

Ok so by now I’m sure you’ve seen this pic of Baron Davis and Steve Nash riding their tandem bike to who knows where. I am still trying to figure out where these guys were headed and what is going on but now a video has been uncovered.

Don’t blink or else you might miss them, but it’s like if you spot a spaceship. You know that what you just saw was crazy, you don’t know whether or not you really saw what you think you did, and you feel a little disturbed and frightened.

So the mystery rages on. Are they doing a movie or a commercial? Are they just crazy? If anyone comes up with any clues email me at sportfiends@gmail.com.

Thanks a lot to Deon K. for sending this one in.
