Just because Chris Paul is trying to force his way out of small market New Orleans before his contract expires does not mean he is a bad person. Not that anybody really thinks Chris is a bad dude, but if you did, best friend for life LeBron James wanted to remind you that he isn’t […]

If you were a kid, and in the day’s leading up to Christmas your parents told you that you were getting the new Kobe’s to celebrate on Christmas morning, how excited would you have been? Then, how devastated would you have eventually felt when you inevitably found out that those new Kobe’s where in fact […]

Dwight Howard said he wanted to be traded because Otis Smith didn’t make any of the moves he asked him to make.  Then he said he loves the city of Orlando and there’s no place he’d rather play out the rest of his career so long as the organization was willing to change. That was Sunday […]

The Los Angeles Clippers wanted to trade for Chris Paul.  That didn’t happen.  Chauncey Billups was all gassed up to play with Carmelo Anthony and Amare’ Stoudemire this season.  That didn’t happen either.  As a result, those two worlds have officially crashed into each other.  Hopefully both sides can find some solace in the situation. […]

Maybe Dwight Howard is being completely and unequivocally honest in his latest comments regarding his relationship with Orlando Magic GM Otis Smith over the last few years. To that point, maybe he’s also being reasonably objective and understanding too. Meaning simply, maybe he never dropped demands on Smith’s desk that included trades for Derrick Rose […]

Yahoo!’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported late Friday that trade talks have resumed in the deal once designed to send Chris Paul to the Los Angeles Lakers.  In exchange the Houston Rockets were to receive the services of Pau Gasol, and the Hornets were set to acquire Lamar Odom, Kevin Martin, Goran Dragic, Luis Scola and a […]

Through the end of the 2014 season, the Orlando Magic were scheduled to pay Gilbert Arenas $62 million dollars for the version of basketball he currently plays. He’ll still get just about all of that from the Magic most likely, but it won’t be for playing. In a partnership that didn’t really seem like it […]

World Peace has finally arrived in the NBA. At first glance it may not seem as if the artist formerly known as Ron Artest has his new name listed alphabetically on the Lakers official team roster, but he does. Peace is not his last name, WORLD PEACE is.  That’s why the Lakers don’t have him […]

This Blake Griffin guy gets me every time.  My favorite line in the video below is when he’s discussing the first win of his Ping Pong career.  He tilted the table up in that match and competed against himself, he said.   In the featured match below he is competing against Soo Yeon Lee, Professional […]

The JET appears to be pulling off the runway down in Dallas after seven plus years of service. Or would that be the JET is preparing to fly out of town?  Whatever the case, Jason Terry’s days down in “Big D” as a member of the Dallas Mavericks could most likely end in the coming […]

Last time I mentioned the current state of Brandon Roy and the Portland Trailblazers on these blogwaves it appeared an epic run together, that once looked as promising as any in the Association, was coming to a close. There were reports of Portland’s plans to use the Amnesty Clause on Roy immediately, not even bringing […]

So often the NBA storyline of the day can be summarized as “never being happy with what you’ve got.”   The Miami Heat roster featured two of the four best players in the world last season, along with an All Star at Power Forward, and much of the rhetoric revolved around how bad Mario Chalmers […]

Saying things like the Clippers will definitely make the playoffs is traditionally met with a heart-felt chuckle followed by a dismissive rolling of the eyes. Traditionally.   The Blake Griffin era is very much upon us though, and don’t look now but the Clip Show has a few decent players around him too. So playoffs you […]

Toronto Raptors President and General Manager Bryan Colangelo is apparently a player in the Tyson Chandler, Marc Gasol, and Nene sweepstakes at the moment. He doesn’t want to eventually sign all three of them though, just one. He is also reportedly serious in the fact that he thinks he might actually be able to lure […]
