Danny Granger can be the answer for an Indiana Pacers team without a whole lot of questions. I’ve penned a number of thoughts on the star forward since he was shut down before the start of the season with a knee injury. Most have been responses to trade rumors that I simply don’t agree with. [...]

30-15. The Knicks may not be in the immediate conscience of the NBA media anymore (they were essentially getting Lakers coverage for all of two months), but they still stand at a record of 30-15. And they’re still doing it with some unorthodox basketball. If someone-hell, an alien-were to watch basketball for the very first [...]

The Boston Celtics are undefeated since losing Rajon Rondo, which does anything but speak volumes about the point guard’s value to the team. Without Rondo, the Celtics are 4-0 and have snagged victories over the Miami Heat and Los Angeles Clippers, two authentic contenders. Naturally, after such immense, albeit brief, success, the narrative in Boston [...]

Ricky Rubio wants Pau Gasol, and he doesn’t care if the entire world knows it. Per Eric Pincus of the Los Angeles Times, Rubio not-so-subtly continues to hold out hope that the Los Angeles Lakers big man will wind up with the Minnesota Timberwolves: Pau Gasol has been loosely linked to the Wolves, primarily because [...]

After learning that Celtic rookie Jared Sullinger wasn’t selected to participate in the NBA’s Rising Stars competition, Kevin Garnett was none to pleased. “Really? I’m actually shocked.”, Garnett responded upon first hearing the news. Frankly, he should be shocked. “Sully”, as 2012’s 21st overall pick is fondly called, is having a solid first year for [...]

Let me take this opportunity to welcome you inside one month of the NBA’s trade deadline, where the visibly absurd threatens to become truth. Speaking of the visibly absurd, the Atlanta Hawks have never appeared more likely to deal Josh Smith than they do now. And no, that’s not the insane part. What’s crazy is [...]

Kevin Garnett isn’t going anywhere. The Boston Celtics reached a proverbial crossroad when they lost Rajon Rondo to a torn ACL for the rest of the season (and beyond?). Given what his playmaking abilities meant to this team, there are few things that the Celtics wouldn’t consider doing to instill some sort of change. Dealing [...]

And finally, it’s over. After years—literally, years—of speculation, the Memphis Grizzlies finally traded Rudy Gay. According to Marc Stein of ESPN.com, the Grizzlies agreed to send Gay to the Toronto Raptors in a three-team deal that lands them Ed Davis from Toronto and Tayshaun Prince from the Detroit Pistons: The Grizzlies, Raptors and Pistons agreed [...]

The Jazz are still undergoing some reconstruction. Anchored by a veteran front line and energized by improving younger players, the Jazz are fighting through a season standing at 24-21. That total puts them at 4th in the Northwest division. They score just under 99 points per contest. An impressive stat, were it not matched by [...]

Pau Gasol is taking up a good part of my NBA life lately. Out of necessity, I’ve written about the 32-year-old big man numerous times in the last week. I say “out of necessity” because, well, I mean it. The Los Angeles Lakers have won three in a row, and are finally playing like a [...]
