Morning Sports Shorts 6/22
T-Mac to H-Town?: A decade ago, Orlando gift-wrapped an NBA title for the Rockets. I'm not sure that acquiring McGrady from the Magic accomplishes that much... yet. But count Houston among the West's contenders. Memo to Greg Popovich: it might be time to think about making a deal, especially with the persistant Shaq-to-Dallas rumors, or else your Texas dominance could come to an end.
Gammons talks trades: Zito to Texas? Texiera and Cordero to Oakland? This doesn't appear to be anything more than a list of trades that would make sense. But if there's really something there, then Ranger fans would have to like that deal.
NL All-Star Voting: The only real race is at SS. Houston's Adam Everett sees his lead slip since the last update. St. Louis' Edgar Renteria might catch him. But the real intrigue here is: how does the NL cut their field to just four Home Run Derby participants. Their squad includes Bonds, Griffey, Sosa, Piazza, Rolen and Pujols. They might just turn the actual game into Home Run Derby.
Nantz to the Booth: Coming in 2007 to CBS... Super Bowl XLII, a Tradition Like None Other.
No crying in golf: CNNSI's Pete McEntegart wishes PGA pros would stop whining about Shinnecock's "unfair" course. Normally I'd agree that millionaires should shut up and play the game. But Sunday's U.S. Open finale was the most absurd golf spectacle since Jan Van de Velde triple-bogeyed his way to British Open immortality in 1999. There's tough, and then there's insane. Shinnecock was the latter.
