No fan wants to see their favorite player (let alone a franchise type player) leave their team. It has happened before with Patrick Ewing, Hakeem Olajuwon and Charles Barkley. But it is the nature of the NBA business and no player is safe or un-tradable from a team. Paul Pierce is one of those players […]

The New Orleans Pelicans (yes I am still trying to get used to saying that name) revealed the team's new-look court and color scheme and I got to admit, it is not bad at all. Gone was the old teal, white and gold colors of the Hornets and in is the new blue, beige, white […]

One point guard that is not garnering nearly as much attention as someone like Chris Paul or Brandon Jennings is Jose Calderon. But just because Calderon’s name has not been spreading through media reports like wildfire does not mean teams are not paying attention to the 31-year-old Spaniard. Per a league source, Calderon is visiting […]

Every single Los Angeles Clippers fan can rest a lot easier today thanks to Chris Paul. And they did not even have to wait one full day into free agency to get their man — or in this case, keep their man. According to a number of published reports, Paul has verbally agreed to a […]

The NBA offseason is underway which means free agency and NBA Summer Leagues. The Las Vegas Summer League is set to kick off in a few weeks but the San Francisco Pro-Am Games are in full swing and already it produced one of the most memorable highlights in the offseason at the expense of Houston's […]

At 12:01 a.m. ET on Monday, NBA teams will officially be allowed to talk to free agents and make their pitches to them. However, teams can’t officially sign free agents until the moratorium period ends on July 10. But that does not mean teams will not be recruiting like crazy. There have already been numerous […]

Every year, the NBA Draft is David Stern's moment. His voice has become iconic in announcing the names of the new NBA players walking across the stage to shake his hand and get their official welcome to the league. The 2013 Draft is the last  time Stern will perform that ritual, which has become the […]

Things got a bit testy between new Clippers coach Doc Rivers and ESPN's Bill Simmons last night at the 2013 NBA Draft. During an interview with ESPN, Rivers was asked to comment on Simmons accusing him of quitting on the Celtics and bolting to the Clippers. Doc quipped that he is too classy to call […]

When we look back on this 2013 NBA Draft, there are a couple highlights that will come to mind… Anthony Bennett going No. 1 overall to Cleveland, that tiny Boston Celtics hat sitting aloft Lucas “Bebe” Nogueira’s stellar afro, and Hakeem Olajuwon’s gracing the draft stage and embracing the outgoing David Stern as the commish […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers selected Anthony Bennett with the first pick in the NBA Draft, solidifying their post presence to match the Kyrie Irving/Dion Waiters backcourt. They passed on the big men Alex Len and Nerlens Noel, whom the Cavaliers were expected to pick. That was not the biggest surprise of the night. Not by far. […]

By the time this gets published, we will be about two hours away from the NBA Draft officially kicking off and everything getting finally resolved. This is a Draft that has been topsy turvy. With no runaway top pick, no one is even sure what the Cavaliers will do with the first pick, much less […]

The NBA Draft is really the stuff dreams are made of. For 60 players it is the first step into the NBA. For NBA teams, it is the chance to add new talent. This year's Draft is not full of the top-end talent that gets fans excited. The top prospects — Nerlens Noel, Ben McLemore, […]

The Lakers are going all out to get Dwight Howard to stay in Los Angeles this summer. With less than one week before free agents can begin talking with teams and agreeing to contracts, the Lakers have put out the full-court press. Or at least they are putting up some sign they love their beleaguered […]

 Nothing settled entering Draft Day —– The day is finally here. The NBA Draft is set to take place tonight in Brooklyn at the Barclays Center and for 60 players, it is the realization of a dream. Where those players are going though is anybody's guess from top to bottom. This is not the Draft […]
