Welcome to the offseason. Now that the champs have been crowned, it’s all about the Draft (June 28), free agency and trades (starting July 1) and “Did you hear that [‘Where Are They Now?’ Player X] is on [Team Y]’s summer-league team?” Which is actually fun for us, so we’re not complaining … One team everyone’s going to be looking at is obviously the Lakers. According to the L.A. Times, talks between the team and Indiana have stalled regarding the Jermaine O’Neal deal, because L.A. doesn’t want to give up both Lamar Odom and Andrew Bynum. The rumored trade would be J.O. and Troy Murphy for Odom, Bynum and Kwame Brown … Luke Walton to the Orange County Register on Kobe’s “trade me/never mind” saga: “We all want to win. Hopefully it’s going to work itself out. It’s over now. We just want it to pass and go on with our lives. He probably said some things that he later regretted and later he actually took back.” … And here’s Robert Horry on what went wrong with the last good team Kobe played with: “Money hurt that team. It came down to this guy wanted this much money, that guy wanted this much money. Those two guys (Shaq and Kobe) wanted to be the top dog and forgot about the other guys. It all boiled down to money. Money is the root of all evil sometimes.” … The Pistons made a move yesterday, trading Carlos Delfino to Toronto for second-round picks in ‘09 and 2010 … Where’s Grant Hill going next year? The Toronto Globe & Mail says Grant is looking at the Raptors, Suns, Spurs and Pistons. Obviously Hill is only interested in playing for a contender. He seems like the perfect fit – character and basketball-wise – for San Antonio. (Giving us that Duncan/Hill combo that almost ended up together in Orlando about seven years too late.) Where would Grant play in that rotation, though? Is he playing the three with Bruce Bowen? The two with Manu and Mike Finley? Not saying he’d be Jalen Rose all of a sudden, but PT seems hard to come by on that team … By the way, Finley told the San Antonio Express-News that he’s not retiring … Who says the champs aren’t popular? So the Finals drew record-low ratings, but apparently a Texas couple had a child on Thursday – same day as Game 4 – and named him Bowen. And the Spurs will be featured on the Wheaties box… Right before Game 4, LeBron became a father for the second time when Bryce Maximus James was born. ‘Bron said he didn’t get a lot of sleep going into Game 4, but stressed “it’s not an excuse” … How good is Yi Jianlian? He’s been holding workouts in L.A. (mostly going up against chairs and orange cones, we hear) and now rumors are flying of teams trying to trade up to get him. The latest we read had the Warriors offering J-Rich to the Celtics for Theo “Huge Expiring Contract” Ratliff and the No. 5 pick, or GS offering J-Rich to Memphis for Stro Swift, Damon Stoudamire and the No. 4 … Honestly, the thought of Stro lurking around the Oracle Arena looking for lobs from Baron Davis is kinda intriguing … It looks like Mike and Sam Vincent plan to have the Bobcats getting after it this year. Corey Brewer, Al Thornton and Thaddeus Young were all in for pre-draft workouts in Charlotte this week, and each of them told the Charlotte Observer that it was their hardest workout yet on the circuit … Joakim Noah turned down an invite to work out for the Bucks, prompting one Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel writer to pen, “They’ve already got one Gadzuric.” … After Stan Van Gundy took the Orlando Magic job, Brian Shaw and Reggie Theus have emerged as serious candidates for the Kings coaching job … Meanwhile, Charlie Ward just took a job as the head coach at Westbury Christian H.S. in Houston. That’s the same school that produced Ndudi Ebi … Remember when the Celtics’ co-owner came out and publicly said the team was done with Sebastian Telfair? Seeing as Bassy hasn’t officially been waived yet, don’t rule out a trade. Reportedly there is some interest in Telfair, from the Heat, Wolves and Nuggets. By now it’s clear as day that Bassy has to be on a team that runs an up-tempo system, which would make Denver the favorite out of that group. But how weird would it be for Telfair to end up ballin’ with KG in Minnesota, just like his Lincoln H.S. predecessor Steph did a decade ago … Lenny Cooke to the Bergen Record: “I still see myself playing in the NBA.” … Friday was the last day at Dime for PR, our now-former Lifestyle Editor/Brand Manager/Best Ballplayer in the Office By Far, before he heads off to a job with Nike. That meant food, low-roller poker, ball at Manhattan’s Reebok Club and food again at the Shark Bar for the Dime crew. The Shark Bar is highly recommended if you’ve never been, and the ladies are very much rubberneck-worthy … We’re out like Joakim at No. 6 …
