The Orlando Magic are in Los Angeles discussing Dwight Howard and his future. They just are not talking with the Lakers.

The Rockets have been at the front of the offseason. Whether it was getting involved in Dwight Howard rumors or going after and signing Jeremy Lin, you cannot fault Daryl Morey for going out there and being active. Houston has been a middle of the Western Conference team for the better part of a decade. […]

Boston will have none of your small-ball, stretch-4 offense. The Celtics are as old school as it gets in the current NBA. I am not just talking about Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce. This is a team that will beat you with defense and pound the ball inside. The power forward is just another post […]

By this time in July, NBA fans have typically already seen the biggest moves go down. The NBA’s schedule makers are busy piecing together each team’s 82-game schedule and talking with the TV networks about the games they want. That whole process and the next stage of the NBA’s summer (perhaps the first stage, the […]

Jeremy Lin took the NBA world by storm in late January and February of this past season. Then he took the NBA world by storm with the contentious restricted free agency that saw him leave The Big Apple for Clutch City (awful memories of 1994 just came rushing back into The Empire State). The debate […]

Mark Cuban made some waves last weekend when he fired shots directly at ESPN Grantland columnist Bill Simmons. Simmons was not too crazy about Cuban’s acquisition of Chris Kaman and Elton Brand and voiced that displeasure on Twitter. To which Cuban responded with some not-so-kind words. They look kind and cordial after

The Dallas Mavericks faced a lot of criticism in the year after winning the NBA championship in 2011. Dallas let defensive linchpin Tyson Chandler take a lucrative offer with the Knicks and declined to negotiate a long-term extension with Jason Terry (now taking off for the Celtics). It seemed the Mavericks were content with getting […]

The Rockets want you to notice them. They really do. That is about the only way you can explain the cry for attention Houston has subjected itself to this offseason so far. From amassing draft picks, to reportedly signing Jeremy Lin to an offer sheet, to going after Dwight Howard, the Rockets have been active. […]

The dust is settling in Amway Center where Rob Hennigan and the Magic officially put an end to trade discussions with the Nets for the time being and turned their focuse squarely on the head coaching search. There have been very few things that are clear in this whole Dwight Howard saga, but let’s try […]

The Magic’s talks with the Nets have seemed to wind their course. The Cavaliers backed out of the reported three or four-team deal and have left the Magic and the Nets dealing with each other for Dwight Howard. It is no secret Howard wants to end up in Brooklyn, but Brooklyn lacks many of the […]

The web that is the Dwight Howard trade continues to grow as the Cavaliers have apparently backed out of the deal after failing to agree to terms with restricted free agent Kris Humphries. Reports now have the Bobcats or the Timberwolves entering the fray as a third team to help facilitate a deal between the […]

Several reports Monday morning have the Magic close to a deal that would send Dwight Howard to the Nets and involve a third, and possibly a fourth, team to take on salaries. Magic management was expected to meet this morning to discuss the latest offer on the table and, perhaps, come to a final decision […]

Basketball is finally back! Well, maybe not entirely back and maybe just for the basketball junkies, but the NBA will play its first “official” games of the 2013 season Monday at the practice court at Amway Center in the week-long Orlando Pro Summer League. While not the public event or as large as the NBA […]

Jason Kidd is not quite the player he once was. His quickness and defensive ability are gone. His willingness to run a fast break-style of offense is fading. Kidd is hardly a point guard savant like he was in his prime years with Phoenix and New Jersey. Yet, something about Kidd joining the Knicks feels […]
