Deron Williams is the unquestioned prize of this year’s free agent class and he knows it.  Dwight Howard, afraid of being the bad guy in leaving Orlando, opted in for another year, so did Chris Paul.  That leaves Williams as the number one guy available this season.  There’s been return to Brooklyn rumors, there have […]

The Portland Trailblazers are a team in transition.  A few years ago we all thought of them as the Oklahoma City Thunder before the Thunder were on the door step of an NBA title.  With Brandon Roy, Greg Oden and LaMarcus Aldridge all in the fold, the Blazers were looked at as the NBA’s next […]

“What he means is Old Testament, Mr. Mayor, real wrath of God type stuff.” “Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling!” “Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes…” “The dead rising from the grave!” “Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together… mass hysteria!” – Ghostbusters, 1984 This is more or less […]

It’s a busy time for Charlotte Bobcats’ General Manager Rich Cho and President of Basketball Operations Rod Higgins. Not only are they interviewing every available coaching candidate from here to China, Higgins is also taking meetings on “buy one season, get the next free” season tickets and both are scouting for the NBA Draft. The […]

Call it a conspiracy, call it karma for a team that didn’t tank, either way it doesn’t matter.  The New Orleans Hornets won the NBA Draft Lottery and will soon have a new cornerstone to their franchise. For a franchise that’s been in flux for the last three years or so, it was a great […]

The NBA Conference Finals are in full swing but it’s not the only piece of NBA business happening right now.  NBA scouts are going to gyms all over the country looking for their team’s next player.  The picture isn’t 100 percent clear yet but it will be Wednesday night when the NBA does its annual […]

In case you missed it, the Golden State Warriors made a questionable trade not too long ago.  In 2008, they traded for then New Jersey Nets point guard Marcus Williams. In that trade they gave up a conditional 2012 first round pick. That pick was then shipped to Utah in the Deron Williams trade. Clearly […]

Their season hasn’t even ended yet, but already there’s speculation that Philadelphia 76ers swingman Andre Iguadola could be out of the City of Brotherly Love this summer.  According to Alex Kennedy with Hoopsworld, The Los Angeles Lakers, who have already targeted Iggy once may try to trade for him once more this summer. Andre Iguodala […]

Are bloggers allowed to paraphrase U2 or can I only quote groups like Wu-Tang, Mobb Deep, Tribe Called Quest or solo acts like Talib Kweli?  Either way, U2 just happened in this post. It’s also how Los Angeles Lakers fans must feel after seeing there team get embarrassed in the second round of the playoffs […]

The NBA Awards season is wrapping up and there have certainly been some odd votes cast (Josh Selby getting a third place Rookie Of The Year Vote comes to mind).  Today the NBA released its All-Defensive First and Second Teams, and, at first glance, it mostly made sense, but then it didn’t (H/T to Ben […]

Blake Griffin’s second season wasn’t the smashing success his first season was. Alright, well there were plenty of smashes on other players’ faces but his second season certainly wasn’t as well received as his first.  He didn’t have this vast improvement that everyone said he needed to have and he gained a reputation as either […]

The New York Knicks’ season has been over for a week now and the Linsanity craze has been over for well over a month, some would argue longer.  Somehow, both are still making headlines.  Don’t look now, but a “Linsanity Rule” could be coming to the NBA.  No, we’re not talking Knicks fans getting overly […]

Earlier this week, Duke University and Team USA head coach Mike Krzyzewski announced he was most likely stepping away from Team USA coaching duties after the 2012 Olympics in London.  The Coach K/Jerry Colangelo rebirth of Team USA has been spectacular after the failures that were the 2002 World Championships and 2004 Olympics in Athens.  […]

The headline pretty much ended any possible suspense, but it appears Los Angeles Clippers forward Blake Griffin’s knee hasn’t healed much since he injured it during Game Five of the first round of the playoffs versus the Nuggets.  Still, he says he’s ready to go for Game One against the San Antonio Spurs and is […]

Thursday there was a report that Denver Nuggets Forward Chris “Birdman” Andersen was being investigated by the Internet Crimes Against Children task force in Colorado.  The only details that were given was that Andersen’s home was searched but he was not arrested or charged with anything. Friday, the Denver Post reported that Andersen’s lawyer, Colin Bresee, […]
