Long live the Dwightmare. Dwight Howard still hasn’t made a decision as to which team he will be joining next season. Yet. But he will. And it’s expected to come relatively soon, by Howard’s standards anyway. The Los Angeles Lakers, Houston Rockets, Golden State Warriors, Dallas Mavericks and Atlanta Hawks remain his top suitors.

When the Brooklyn Nets made the boldest move this offseason so far by trading for longtime Celtics Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, and NBA sharpshooter Jason Terry, many initially tabbed the Nets as instant Eastern Conference contenders. On paper, the Nets now have arguably the best starting 5 in basketball, but we’ll have to see how [...]

J.R. Smith now has more than 24 million reasons to smile. The New York Knicks re-signed two key cogs in their close-to-a-championship machine, in Smith and Pablo Prigioni.

Lebron James has been on top of the world over the past 2 seasons.  Like him or not, one has to admire his talents, as we are all bearing witness to James and one of the greatest individual stretches for a player in league history. After winning Gold with Team USA in the 2012 London [...]

Currently the Los Angeles Lakers are hoping Dwight Howard wants to play Kobe Bryant for the foreseeable future. Pushing 35 and rehabbing a ruptured Achilles, the Black Mamba isn’t the ideal superstar partner any more. When healthy, he’s a top-10 superstar, even a half-decade removed from 30. There’s just no telling how healthy he’ll be [...]
