Carlos Boozer’s stay in Chicago has been met with equal parts regret and hope. The regrettable element involves lamenting over Boozer’s $80 million contract. The ‘hope’ aspect is ironic,  being the result of an unfortunate series of events. Multiple injuries to Derrick Rose, culminating into one awful moment, has placed Boozer in a position necessitating [...]

Sporting a corner stone center in Bynum and a few new pieces, the Sixers now look to point guard Jrue Holiday. Set to make about $2.67 million this year, Holiday can opt for restricted free agency. With wrinkles such as the ability to match contract offers, the Sixers have some sort of control in the [...]

Shaquille O’Neal isn’t the biggest fan of Dwight Howard. From who the real ‘Superman’ is to ‘who’s the better center in the NBA?’, the two have had more than a little to say about each other. Frankly, Shaq has been the one doing more of the provoking. Though his aggression towards Howard seems relatively passive [...]

Dwight Howard was on the court Tuesday, participating in his second straight contact-drill filled practice. These are the first few on-court tests since Howard went down to an injured back, requiring surgery.

Josh Smith is about to play the last season of his contract with the Atlanta Hawks. The sides have been said to not be very close to any agreement to keep Smith in Atlanta. So, perhaps it’s safe enough to assume that the upcoming NBA season may see Smith do some auditioning for a contract. Josh [...]

The Memphis Grizzlies lost a dynamic power forward last year to a partial MCL tear. Zach Randolph was sidelined in an early-season game against the Bulls. What followed was a 38-game stretch that forced the Grizzlies to progress through a tough conference without one of their stars. With Marc Gasol and Mike Conley leading Memphis in practically [...]

The LA Clippers jump into their 2012-2013 campaign with some key additions. Lamar Odom looks to bounce back into form after an uncharacteristically down year with the Dallas Mavericks (6.6 ppg, 4.2 rpg, 1.7 apg-all career lows) while Jamal Crawford (14 ppg, 3.2 apg, 2 rpg) looks set to add spark to an already prolific [...]

September 25, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors The Minnesota Timberwolves continue to solidify their suddenly potent roster. The T-wolves are set to sign center/ forward Lou Amundson to a one-year contract. Amundson contributed his averages of 3.5 ppg and 3.6 rpg in 60 games last year with the Indiana Pacers. Though he didn’t start a [...]

September 24, 2012 – Mohamed Abdihakim Detroit hasn’t made any gasp-worthy gaffs this off-season, and that in itself should be enough for fans. With some great picks in the drafts of the last two years–2010 (Greg Monroe), 2011 (Brandon Knight, Kyle Singler) and 2012 (Andre Drummond, Kim English)–, the Pistons look to be making positive [...]

September 21, 2012 – Dan Favale We’ve seen it before, far too often, in fact, when an NBA player’s immediate future is suddenly derailed by an unpreventable condition. And now, unfortunately, we’ve seen it again, as according to NBA.com, Phoenix Suns forward Channing Frye is out indefinitely after developing a dilated cardiomyopathy, which is essentially [...]
