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 [...]

The power of playing in a major market cannot be understated. Often times, players are more valuable when they do. Look at Tyreke Evans for example. He’s plenty talented, but we don’t get a chance to see him play that often, so we don’t know how good he actually is. Evans is going from Sacramento [...]

Denver’s Andre Iguodala is one of the summer’s most sought after free agents because of his versatility and athleticism, and is drawing interest from many teams.

Despite surprising many people and making it a hard-fought second rounds series vs. the Miami Heat, the Chicago Bulls still need to do some roster tweaking. And that’s even with a healthy Derrick Rose. Chicago is set to sign Mike Dunleavy to a 2-year, $6M deal. This may help create some driving lanes for Rose, [...]

It seems as if Josh Smith has been rumored to be on the verge of leaving the Hawks for several years now. He needs to leave Atlanta and experience a new situation. That team peaked years ago and the core has been broken up. Smith’s skill set is unique and he could be a very [...]

All of the drama and turmoil for the Los Angeles Clippers may have paid off. The number one objective of the team was to keep Chris Paul in a Clipper uniform. The acquisition of Doc Rivers may have helped, as it appears Paul will stay put. And the money can’t hurt, as it’s reported that [...]

For the first time in a very long time, we had no clue who was going to be drafted first overall. Typically, it’s pretty well known for weeks and even months ahead of time.
