The NBA free agency reports are flying about and it is enough to make any fan’s head spin. Seems hourly some report surfaces with a player being sought by a team only to have yet another team and player linked together. However, probably the most assured free agency report you will read here at Crossover […]

The New Orleans Hornets have had the biggest makeover of any team in the league so far this offseason. Not that many teams can do anything until the signing moratorium is lifted on July 10. The Hornets drafted Anthony Davis as their franchise pillar with the top pick in the draft and then added Austin […]

Danny Ferry just got the GM job for the Atlanta Hawks.  The photos of him and his family are probably still in a cardboard box on the credenza in his office.  The IT guy probably has to remind him how to log on to their internal system.   But Ferry, despite having to GPS which […]

Surprise, surprise. Dwight Howard has not backed off his trade demand and told new Magic general manager Rob Hennigan he wants to be traded in a face-to-face meeting in Southern California on Friday, preferrably to the Brooklyn Nets. The Magic appear finally to be ready to trade Howard and end this crazy saga. Of course, […]

There are few jobs that are as polarizing as NBA GM. There are some great ones and there are some awful ones and few in between. There are few announcers who say what they think like Charles Barkley. While Barkley has had an incredibly successful run as the loudmouth opinion machine on TNT’s Inside the […]

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 […]

The Boston Celtics have been a constant road block for LeBron James.  He’s had a personal rivalry with Paul Pierce for years and he’s seen his playoff hopes dashed by the Celtics enough to make his distaste for anything Green understandable.  And last night on Twitter, after the Celtics selected Ohio State’s Jared Sullinger with […]

Bernard James spent six years serviing his country as a member of the Air Force in Iraq and Afghanistan.  Last night, the center out of Florida State lived a dream by getting drafted 33rd by the Cleveland Cavaliers (he will go to Dallas as part of a trade).  And the Prudential Center crowd was well […]

Just hours away from the start of the NBA Draft news came swirling out that the Oklahoma City Thunder, who just made the NBA Finals, were interested in trading into the top of the lottery to draft Florida guard Bradley Beal.  In fact, ESPN is reporting that Beal told Henry Abbott that during Wednesday’s media […]

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 […]

Whether you have the first pick or the last pick, all teams look forward to draft night. Granted, some teams have been counting down the days until June 28 a lot longer than others. But now that the day is here, everyone should be focused and ready to go. There is a lot of pressure […]

By now, everyone knows the NBA Draft is an inexact science. For every Dwight Howard, there is a Kwame Brown. For every Curtis Borchardt, there is an Al Jefferson. And so on and so forth. The point is, there are plenty of players with lots of talent who get passed up for whatever reason — […]

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 […]
