There's a ton of news, so let's get right into today's Scoop...

NBA Line of the Night: Chris Paul, NOH: 15 pts and 20 asts.

Pau Gasol is still not ready to return for the Lakers. As long as he comes back a few games before the playoffs, Los Angeles will be fine.

It’s possible that Dirk Nowitzki could return early from the knee and ankle injuries he suffered on Sunday. Unlike the Lakers, the Mavericks can’t go long without their big man.

The Top Careers of Players Picked 15th and 16th, by Nick Obergan.

Brandon Roy won’t shut it down just yet, despite injuring his groin on Tuesday night. Portland won’t make the playoffs, but R.O.Y. seems intent on finishing the season above .500.

Some Pacers are already beginning to miss Donnie Walsh in Indiana and he hasn’t even left. So help me God, Donnie, if Granger eventually leaves because you’re no longer in town...

The RealGM.com NBA Team Rankings for this Week, by Jason M. Williams.

The Heat could be looking to either trade or extend Shawn Marion this summer. Miami would love to have some cap room, so the Matrix doesn’t seem to fit into their plans.

The Blue Jays are close to reaching a mega-deal with outfielder Alex Rios. RealGM’s Reina Value listed him as ‘deserving’ of $10.5 million last season, so you make the call.

The National League Name Game, by Jason M. Williams.

Many people are wondering whether the deal Miguel Cabrera received will be a sign of things to come for Matt Holliday. Personally, I don’t think so. I see him remaining with the Rockies for a “hometown” discount.

Season Preview: San Diego Padres, by Christopher Reina.

A healthy Rich Harden dominated the Red Sox on Wednesday morning to spilt the Japan Series. I know. Some of you had problems finishing that last sentence after I said “a healthy Rich Harden.”

Season Preview: Tampa Bay Rays, by Christopher Reina.

Kelvim Escobar’s career could be over after he learned of a tear in his shoulder on Wednesday. He’s still relatively young, which is scary, but the Angels should be even more frightened.

Season Preview: ChiTown White Sox, by Christopher Reina.

Roy Williams claims that he wants to be a Lion for the rest of his career . Get in line, Roy, oh wait…you’re right at the front.

Marcus Trufant, who was franchised by Seattle earlier this offseason, agreed to a $50.2M deal with the team Wednesday. Wait, can this franchise ‘tag’ system actually work?

Jeff Risdon’s 2008 NFL Mock Draft: Version 5.0 - the clock is ticking.

Pacman Jones is praying for a second chance in the NFL…and strippers around the country are praying that he’ll bring his money back to the clubs.

RealGM’s 2008 Fantasy Football Rankings, Version 2.0 - it’s never too early to prepare.

Champ Bailey is concerned over the Broncos' loss of Jason Elam. And to think, Adam Sandler once sang about “The Lonesome Kicker.”

Simon Gagne won’t return for the Flyers this season unless the team makes it to the Stanley Cup Finals. In other words, Gagne won’t be playing until next season.

Douglas Benton’s Hockey Talk for March 26th: Contenders and Pretenders.

Guessing The Hardware, by Nick Obergan.

RealGM Forums Discuss: The Race for the NHL Playoffs: PIT, MTL Clinch; NYI Out.

Maybe this can nurse Dirk back to health quicker…
