Cuban: Nowitzki not leaving Mavericks
Dirk Nowitzki(notes) can opt out of his contract this summer and join the teeming masses of talented NBA players that will be wandering America's streets looking for new, highly lucrative deals.
But Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, never one to shy away from expressing his opinion, says that he thinks Nowitzki is going to stick around for next season, according to the Dallas Morning News.
Cuban apparently spent some time with Nowitzki and some other players this past weekend so you figure he must have some idea what he's talking about.
"We had a good talk," Cuban told the paper. "He knows our priority is to keep him and win a championship, which is his goal as well. I'm optimistic things will work out."
Bosh gives signs he's leaving Toronto
Chris Bosh(notes) will be one of the big-name free agents available on July 1 and unlike Dwyane Wade(notes) and LeBron James(notes), it is fully expected that he won't be re-signing with the Toronto Raptors.
According to the Toronto Star, Bosh has been giving off a lot of signs recently that he's soon to be history in Toronto. He apparently made some changes on his Twitter account, eliminating Toronto as his location and making it "Everywhere." And he took off a part in his biography that identified him as the captain of the Raptors.
Plus, he was sitting courtside in Southern California Tuesday night for the Los Angeles Lakers-Utah Jazz playoff standoff and tweeted, "Sitting here watching the games wishing I was playing. I wonder if that MVP trophy is heavy?"
Say goodbye to Bosh, Toronto.

Pacman deal coming today?
The Cincinnati Bengals is doing everything it can to get the man they call Pacman, Adam Jones(notes), signed to its roster but a few things still needed to be worked out as of last night, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
The two sides apparently spent the day yesterday trying to hammer out actually how the deal would be structured. The main sticking point was supposedly what the incentive-based bonuses and the personal-conduct clause would say in the contract.
A final decision on whether the team can work out a deal for the cornerback is supposedly expected today.

Dwyane Wade: 'Foreplay' Lawsuit Is Total BS
Dwyane Wade claims he's "saddened" and "shocked" by a new lawsuit filed by his estranged wife -- in which she claims the NBA star is damaging their children by engaging in "sexual foreplay" with his new girlfriend in public.
The woman behind the lawsuit is Siohvaughn Wade -- the mother of Dwyane's two sons. Siohvaughn just filed a new lawsuit, on behalf of the two minor children (an 8-year-old and a 2-year-old) -- claiming Wade has engaged in "extreme and outrageous conduct" with his new GF Gabrielle Union in front of Wade's two children.
But Wade tells TMZ, "I am shocked that Siohvaughn Wade has brought this baseless and meritless lawsuit in the name of our children against Gabrielle Union."
Wade adds, "I am deeply saddened and disappointed that Siohvaughn has used our sons once again as pawns and is now lashing out at Gabrielle, who is an innocent party. It is clear that this is a desperate attempt to retaliate against me for seeking sole custody of our children and requesting that the court have her undergo a psychiatric examination."
Wade concludes, "My primary concern is my children and actions such as this only inflame the situation and are harmful to their well being.”
UPDATE: TMZ just spoke with a rep for Gabrielle Union who also rejects Siohvaughn's claims -- and apologizes to the court system for having to deal "with erroneous claims when there are real victims who should be receiving the legal attention they need."
******RANDOM RUMORS OF THE WEEKEND********
If you don't know who Rick Ross REALLY is, be careful...you may be the victim of a fake Rick Ross. Now, this is all a bit shaky but also funny to me. But a dude that looks similar to Rick Ross is running around NYC. Dude apparently showed up to an art show by art dude Shepard Fairey. Well, rumor has it Shep and a lot of his friends where enamored by what they thought was the BAWSE. They didn't even know, I'm told, that what they got was a faker. LOL.
