The Toronto Raptors are having another awful season so far. Their record is abysmal, their star attraction, Kyle Lowry (acquired in the off season), has found it difficult to stay healthy this year, and Bargnani hasn’t been seen on the court for what feels like ages. Despite all of that, it’s hard to not be excited about this [...]

Delonte West is chock full of baggage, but I remain surprised that he has not found a new home in the NBA. Since unceremoniously departing from the Dallas Mavericks, West really hasn’t been linked heavily to any teams. The Los Angeles Lakers toiled with signing him for awhile, but ultimately passed. Aside from them, that’s [...]

Ray Allen remains one of the NBA’s best shooters, but we may not get the opportunity to bear witness to such talents for much longer. Though the 37-year-old Allen signed a three-year pact with the Miami Heat, the next two are both player options. Contracts never prevent players from retiring in the first place, but [...]

Pau Gasol’s acceptance of reality is the key to everything for Dwight Howard and the Los Angles Lakers. Though everyone and their mother wants Los Angeles to blow it up by admitting defeat and trading either Gasol or Howard, there is still time salvage what’s left of this blueprint and this season. But only if [...]

The Memphis Grizzlies have traded Marreese Speights to the Cleveland Cavaliers in a move that solidifies their future as an NBA title contender. According to ESPN.com’s Brian Windhorst, the deal will save the Grizzlies more than $6 million in salary and, most importantly, prevent them from paying any luxury tax penalties: The Memphis Grizzlies have [...]

The Cavaliers’ Anderson Varejao, known for being sidelined to injuries, is facing perhaps his scariest yet. Varejao was diagnosed recently with a blood clot in his right lung. The Cavs’ big man has been hospitalized since Thursday, limited to little outside of a regime of blood thinners. He’ll have to continue taking those blood thinners [...]

The Los Angeles Lakers aren’t going to trade Dwight Howard, and Magic Johnson should remember that. Per Matt Formica of Hoopsvibe.com, Johnson took a controversial stance on Howard’s situation: Magic Johnson just made it clear (on National TV) that if he was Lakers CEO Jim Buss, he would trade Dwight Howard. “If I’m Mark Cuban, [...]

Kobe Bryant is a lot of things, but patient isn’t one of them. With the Los Angeles falling to 17-23 and three games outside of the Western Conference’s playoff picture, naturally, the Black Mamba’s patience is wearing thin. Everybody who calls Hollywood home is undoubtedly at their wits end and everyone has their own idea [...]

Doc Rivers isn’t happy with the Boston Celtics, and we can’t really blame him. After losing four straight games, the Celtics went on a six game winning streak, one that included four victories over playoff hopefuls. Since then, Boston has dropped another three in a row, two of which have come against an Eric Gordon-less [...]

In a season that started with the promise of four All-Stars joining together on a championship quest, the Los Angeles Lakers stumbled through their first big test of the season. Despite their troubles, the Lakers problems are fixable. Losses are just that, but the Lakers going 0-4 against some of the best teams in the [...]
