Rumors

Today is officially the first day that teams can sign free agents. Prior to today, everything was speculative and only in principle. Also, prior to today, teams were not allowed to comment on any of their pending move during the moratorium period. That’s why there were so many anonymous sources quotes. The Houston Rockets were [...]

The reason the Indiana Pacers knocked off the Knicks and gave the Miami Heat all they could handle in last year’s playoffs was because of their depth and size. Roy Hibbert and David West seem to get all of the credit for the work they do down low, but they have help. Tyler Hansbrough played [...]

He’s not exactly Dwight Howard, but he’s still plenty serviceable. The Lakers lost Dwight and picked up Chris Kaman. Not only does Kaman come cheaper than Dwight, but he’s not that far removed from his best days, when he was on the Clippers. Quietly, this is a great move. The Lakers found themselves a center, a familiar [...]

It’s looking more and more like there is truth to the rumor that the LA Lakers will use their amnesty clause provision to cut Metta World Peace from the team, and save approximately $30 Million against the cap. News first started to break last night when Kevin Ding of the OC Register tweeted this: Sweet [...]

Being tall is the best thing you can be as a basketball player. Often times skill is secondary, because as I always say, you can’t teach tall. When healthy, Andrew Bynum proved two years ago with the Lakers that he can be a difference maker on the floor. But after battling through knee injuries with [...]

The Clippers were probably the deepest team in the league last year and it doesn’t appear as if that will change. They were forced to trade Eric Bledsoe last week, because they weren’t able to afford him, but they didn’t waste time finding a backup for Chris Paul. Darren Collison will back up CP3. Collison [...]

Kevin Durant has been quite busy this offseason. First, he mad headlines when he dumped agent Rob Pelinka in favor of Jay-Z and Roc Nation Sports. Now, he has taken a major step in his personal life and has become engaged. KD and Monica Wright of the WNBA’s Minnesota Lynx are now engaged and are [...]

Dwight Howard isn’t officially a member of the Houston Rockets yet, as that cannot happen until July 10. But he is already causing waves in the locker room. Not long after the news broke, Houston big man Omer Asik made it known that he doesn’t want to play with Howard. Asik is Houston’s Center and [...]

At long last, the Dwight Howard drama is over. Howard has decided to join the Houston Rockets. He will be painted as “not able to handle the spotlight” and a bunch of other not-so-flattering labels, but the fact of the matter is Houston is the best basketball situation for him. Howard won’t thrive in Mike [...]

It’s tough to fathom Dwight Howard willingly leaving the Lakers for another team, because historically, stars don’t choose to leave the Lakers. They choose to stay. But with the unpredictability of Howard, anything is possible. The Lakers have met with Howard and reports indicate that they appear to be on the same page. But who [...]
