Taking a look at the Detroit roster, they are loaded with guards. Will Bynum, Rodney Stuckey, Ben Gordon and Richard Hamilton man the guard position so […]

Yes, thankfully this pick does still belong to the Sacramento Kings… at least for one more season. The Maloofs and GM Geoff Petrie may actually have the most difficult decision in the Draft and the pick with the most uncertainty and intrigue. The Kings were a disappointingly putrid 24-58 last season and suffered through a […]

I feel bad for this new generation of NBA fans. So many of them didn’t get a chance to see Hakeem Olajuwan play in his hey day. The man was as smooth as it got on the block. His footwork was sublime. His creativity was mind blowing. His touch was breathtakingly soft. Just go watch […]

The Raptors are stuck… where, is a good question. The Raptors are still recovering from Chris Bosh’s escape and do not have a whole ton to show for it. DeMarr DeRozan is a nice player, but likely not a guy you build around. Andrea Bargnani is a former number one overall pick who has not […]

Wherever you look, this class is being referred to as weak from top to bottom and lacking in players that can truly make a difference in the Association. That may be true, but there are still many players in every draft […]

Round and round the coaching carousel goes, and where it stops, nobody knows. Actually, somebody knows. A few people. Like ESPN’s Marc Stein and the Dallas Morning News’ Eddie Sefko, who both report Dallas Mavericks assistant coach Dwane Casey will be named head coach of the Toronto Raptors as early as today. You might remember […]

A month ago, we got the first whiff of the impending divorce between the Atlanta Hawks and Josh Smith. Now we’re hearing that not only is Smith open to a trade, he’s got a wish list of where he’d like to go. The Atlanta Hawks have started to gauge trade interest on forward Josh Smith, and Smith isn’t […]

It’s good to be the champs. The Dallas Mavericks won their first ever franchise NBA title and it was a first for Mavericks’ Tyson Chandler as well. So now that he has bragging rights, an NBA championship ring, any financial bonus for wining a title, and the notoriety that comes with being a champion, Chandler […]

Like a thirsty man crawling through the desert begging for water, we NBA fans are desperate for more basketball (and the NBA Finals only just ended. I shudder to think what a lockout will bring). Well, look no further, intrepid hoops fanatics. For Oklahoma Cith Thunder’s Kevin Durant’s off-the-backboard alley oop to himself in LA’s […]
