Mavericks land Chris Kaman and Darren Collison, not bad recovery

Free agency wasn’t going initially well for Dallas. Deron Williams didn’t work out, nor did Jeremy Lin, Steve Nash, or any other Point Guard they tried to acquire. They didn’t appear to have enough ammo for a real shot at Dwight Howard, and then Jason Kidd left along with Jason Terry. But I do have […]

Knicks’ Kidd to backup Lin

More than likely the New York Knicks will make sure guard Jeremy Lin will be back in Gotham City to electrify the crowds and hope “Lin-sanity” takes over the NBA yet again. But for as much as Lin can definitely “wow” the crowds, he still needs to work on his overall game and the Knicks […]

The end of the line for Blatche?

It’s been clear for a while that Andray Blatche wasn’t going to develop into the player the Washington Wizards hoped he would be. He started showing some promise a couple years ago, but after this season, his stock has bottomed out. The Wizards have the option of using their one-time amnesty on Blatche and getting […]

Lewis joins World Champion Heat

The Miami Heat stumbled on to a plan during the playoffs and it looks like they’re going to keep that plan going through next season and beyond.  When Chris Bosh was injured the Heat modified their line up from two power forwards to moving Shane Battier in to the starting line up.  When Chris Bosh […]

Rockets, Lakers re-emerge in Dwight Howard sweepstakes

The Magic’s talks with the Nets have seemed to wind their course. The Cavaliers backed out of the reported three or four-team deal and have left the Magic and the Nets dealing with each other for Dwight Howard. It is no secret Howard wants to end up in Brooklyn, but Brooklyn lacks many of the […]

Spurs make flurry of signings to remain basically the same

It was quite the day for the San Antonio Spurs yesterday as the team made a number of roster moves which, for the most part, allowed them to remain the same. With teams adding new players as each day passes during this free agency period, San Antonio decided to take care of their own free […]

Dwight Howard web grows, but no closer

The web that is the Dwight Howard trade continues to grow as the Cavaliers have apparently backed out of the deal after failing to agree to terms with restricted free agent Kris Humphries. Reports now have the Bobcats or the Timberwolves entering the fray as a third team to help facilitate a deal between the […]

So the answer is Marcus Camby then, Knicks?

The New York Knicks needed front-court depth heading into the Free Agent Period. They addressed that need by locking into a 3-year $13.2 million guaranteed contract with Marcus Camby. Marcus Camby is 48-years old, under contract until he’s 51. He is expected to back up both Amar’e and Tyson, filling in at both the Power […]

The Jet leaves Dallas behind

Jason Terry helped the Dallas Mavericks win their first ever NBA championship. Aside from Dirk Nowitzki (and probably Mark Cuban), he’s been the face of their franchise for the last decade. I wasn’t surprised that Dallas let him go to the Boston Celtics, they’re a team that needs to get younger rather than clinging to […]

Photo: Tyson Chandler bares his butt on ESPN The Magazine

That’s Tyson Chandler, and a strategically placed basketball, gracing the cover of ESPN The Magazine’s annual “Body Issue”.   More than two dozen world-class athletes will be baring all (but in a tasteful way) for the fourth edition of the special issue.   I know, I know… I can hear you from here:  “Why are […]

Pacers plan to match Hibbert offer sheet

Last week, the Portland Trailblazers caught everyone off guard when they made Pacers restricted free agent Roy Hibbert a max contract offer sheet.  For several days, the Pacers let everyone around the league wonder if they were going to match that offer sheet.  That suspense ended Monday when word came out of Indianapolis that the […]

Knicks re-sign shooting ace Novak

The New York Knicks made some recent roster moves including re-signing three-point shooting ace Steve Novak. “This is where he wanted to be,” said Mark Bartelstein, Novak’s agent. “He wanted to be back in New York.” The well-traveled Novak (NBA and D-League) proved to be a surprise contributor last season for New York where he […]

CP3 passes on big payday, for an even bigger payday

For Los Angeles Clippers fans that got a little worried when Chris Paul did not sign his extension with the team, it is not time to panic just yet. It seems Paul may have opted out of the three-year, $60 million extension so he could sign a five-year, $108 million one next summer. Of course […]

Trading Ryan Anderson begins the dismantling of the Orlando Magic

There’s nothing quite like hitting the ground running, eh Rob Hennigan?  Hennigan probably still has stuff shipping to Orlando from Oklahoma City, but Orlando’s new GM is not wasting any time blowing up the Magic roster and starting over.  In the midst of pursuing a trade to finally jettison Dwight Howard, the Magic have agreed […]
