Continuing the trend of players hopping around the NBA’s Pacific Division, it looks like Phoenix Suns veteran guard Grant Hill will be signing with the Los Angeles Clippers. The terms of the contract are still being worked out but it looks like Hill will sign a two-year deal with the Clips. Hill will be turning […]

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

Dwight Howard would literally have to turn into Superman and rescue a plane full of flying nuns from crashing into an orphanage surrounded by puppies to become likable after this.  Howard, according to Jordan Schultz of the Huffington Post (via Orlando Magic Daily), is prepared to skip the upcoming season A source close to Dwight […]

The New Orleans Hornets matched the Phoenix Suns’ offer sheet to Eric Gordon for four years and $58 million, no real surprise there. The Hornets have made it clear for a while that they intend to keep Gordon around long term and build around him. Gordon hasn’t shown the same type of loyalty. “Gordon said […]

Luis Scola is maybe the most underrated 15 and 8 big man in the NBA. In a world where Omer Asik gets paid like Patrick Ewing, and Roy Hibbert gets maxed out like a top-10 NBA player, the Suns locking Scola in for three years at just over $4 million per deserves a standing ovation. […]

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 […]

Cleveland Cavaliers’ Kyrie Irving has been in the headlines for getting humiliated by Kobe Byrant in a smack-talk session but now he is in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. While in Las Vegas for the 2012 Summer League, Irving fractured his right hand during a team practice. X-rays were performed and confirmed he […]

LAS VEGAS – While Saturday’s Summer League action was great for Tony Wroten, Jr., it was more of an up and down day for Warriors forward Harrison Barnes and Kings forward Thomas Robinson. If we were seeding Summer League teams like the NCAA Tournament, the Golden State Warriors would be a one seed.  Led by […]

LAS VEGAS – There wasn’t a ton to talk about for most of game one of Saturday’s Summer League action between the Memphis Grizzlies and New York Knicks.  The Grizzlies jumped on the Knicks early, taking a 35-16 lead at the end of the first quarter and won 93-77. With that in mind, I took […]

In case you forgot and needed a reminder, big men get paid!  Whether it’s Roy Hibbert or Brook Lopez and to a lesser degree Ian Mahimni, this summer is proof that when in doubt, just give your seven footer too much money.  Even restricted free agency didn’t delude the big man market this summer.  In […]

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. […]

Kobe Bryant recently said the 2012 Olympic Team could beat the 1992 Dream Team. His feelings probably boiled over while he watched everybody gush at how good those old guys were during NBATV’s documentary declaring their greatness last month. Why was Charles Barkley wearing bicycle shorts and a tank top as he strolled through the […]

Rookie of the Year Kyrie Irving has balls.  And they’re big enough to challenge Kobe Bryant to a game of 1-on-1.   But Kobe Bryant is Kobe Bryant, and Kobe was barely more than amused at the challenge.  He agreed to drop $50,000 on the challenge before unleashing a barrage of trash talk that utterly […]

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 […]

Saying Adam Morrison’s basketball career peaked in college is an understatement. He was a star at Gonzaga, co-player of the year, and it earned him the third overall pick in the 2006 Draft to the Charlotte Bobcats. Since then, it’s only been bad news. Morrison sat out the 2007-08 season with an injury then he […]
