Several outlets are reporting Trail Blazers combo forward Nicolas Batum will meet with the Timberwolves as Minnesota continues to be extremely active early on in free agency. Batum could be a huge get for the Minnesota Timberwolves in free agency. Ricky Rubio, Kevin Love and Batum could form a young nucleus that has the potential […]

Delonte West is a free agent. He is not signed with the Dallas Mavericks for next season. He doesn’t feel like he needs to be, however, in order to recruit Deron Williams away from the Brooklyn Nets and over to Big D. He took to Twitter recently to make his pitch to the NBA’s biggest […]

Dwyane Wade will have surgery knee surgery according to Chris Tomasson on July 9th. He is likely to miss at least a big chunk of the Olympics as a result, if not the entire 2012 games. According to Tommasson, Jerry Colangelo was told by Wade that he is looking at a 4-6 week recovery time […]

Carmelo Anthony is made of wax now. At the Madame Tussauds Wax Museum in New York, Anthony now joins the likes of Rosa Parks and Ronald Regan in having his likeness memorialized in Wax. There’s tons of low-hanging fruit jokes here about defense that I won’t mention right now. In some ways I’m even ashamed […]

The short answer is no. If you look at the picture even Ben Gordon thinks my headline was a feeble attempt to link a relatively meaningless trade that took place late last night to the NBA Draft tomorrow. The long answer, though, is that Charlotte’s trade with Detroit for Ben Gordon may justify the draft […]

Despite being forced into an early retirement due to injury, Brandon Roy’s attempt at an NBA comeback seems to have generated plenty of intial interest around the League. Once a top-10 player in the Association, teams appear to be lining up willing to bet that Roy still has enough in the tank… and his knees. […]

The Brooklyn Nets have not had too much good news on the free agent front during the last few seasons. This latest report on All-Star point guard Deron Williams may serve as some. Maybe. News broke this weekend that Williams has narrowed his possible free agent landing spots to two teams. One of those being […]

Whoever ends up a Charlotte Bobcat by way of the second overall selection is going to have an extremely challenging rookie season. The team is terrible, and no one player outside of Anthony Davis stands much of a chance to change that themselves. The Bobcats don’t need just one piece. They need as many young […]

Kevin Garnett balled out during the NBA playoffs. Next year would be his 18th NBA season however, and he’s 36 years old. He is on the books for just over $20 million next year too, and is contemplating retirement. If he does retire, or his rights are renounced by the Celtics, $20 million dollars is […]

Nobody likes a flopper. The whole idea of an NBA athlete 6-6 or taller opting not to block a shot, and instead attempting to stand still and take a charge, is weak in and of itself. Player control fouls are a necessary evil, however, so you can’t exactly eliminate them. Flopping, on the other hand, […]

According to Chad Ford’s ESPN Draft Blog, seemingly every team in the NBA is trying to trade their first round Draft picks. Except for the New Orleans Hornets at pick number one, of course, who’ve instead been exchanging high fives mixed with low fives on a routine basis all throughout their front office ever since winning the […]

The Oklahoma City Thunder shot twenty-two percent from three-point range in their Game Three loss to the Miami Heat on Sunday. James Harden finished 2 for 10 from the floor overall. Kevin Durant could not score more than 25 and Russell Westbrook could not top 19. Meanwhile, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade finished with 29 […]

A talking point of confusion surrounding the “OKC Model” is that Kevin Durant part. A first ballot Hall of Famer needs to be acquired in order to activate the model that Oklahoma City is currently following to the NBA Finals. You need an All Star Point Guard too, and an All Star caliber player who […]

Back in March, after speaking at length with Trail Blazers Guard Jamal Crawford, I was convinced that interim coach Kaleb Canales would eventually be named Head Coach on a permanent basis out in Portland. It wasn’t just what Crawford said about the guy who had just been promoted from Video Coordinator to replace the recently […]

The Boston Celtics forced the Miami Heat to the brink of elimination. Kevin Garnett channelled his inner “Big Ticket” in the process. Ray Allen and Paul Pierce looked more their age. Through 20 postseason games, KG posted playoff averages of 19.2 points and 10.3 rebounds per night. Allen and Pierce did not help things as […]
