Westbrook and Birds Agree On New Deal; Sixers Smith Tears ACL

Ain't this the life of a Philly fan? Finally, the Birds agree to give Brian Westbrook a new deal, it's supposidly worth an extra 13 Million in BWest's pocket. Awesome right? Then word comes in that the Sixers promising young big man Jason Smith has torn his ACL at the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas.

First off, the particulars of the Westbrook deal are not in yet, according to many sources the deal was about 80% done last night and the Eagles shored up the loose heads this morning. Like I said before many are speculating that the deal will pay Westbrook around 13 Million dollars more. It's a great job by the Birds, sort of swallowing their pride here, getting the deal done. So now everyones happy, except for Lito, but you all know how that stories going to end, we just don't know when.





As for Jason Smith, according to reports he planted his foot down to go up for a lay up and thats how it happened, a "freak thing," is what the Sixers are calling it. It's presumed that Smith will be out most of the next campaign, however the Sixers would not speculate on a timetable. The Sixers also said they were going for a second opinion sometime this week.
