The Sacramento Kings are a mess, they have been for six years. But this season can mark one of change, a shift in fortunes. And such a transformation begins, and ends, with DeMarcus Cousins. You know Cousins, the player who has been kicked out of practices, clashed with coaches and been a volatile presence in [...]

The NBA Players Association (NBAPA) said yesterday that it plans to file a grievance against the NBA over the recently announced fines for ‘flopping‘. The NBAPA doesn’t seem to be taking a stance one way or the other on the act of flopping and the specificity of the guidelines to curtail it, but instead is [...]

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 [...]

Joe Johnson is gone, so everything with the Atlanta Hawks is just peachy, right? Kind of, but not really. Though the Hawks made a shrewd financial move when they sent Johnson to the Brooklyn Nets, his departure doesn’t guarantee the team anything but an ample amount of cap space next summer.

That’s correct, according to Denver Nuggets head coach George Karl, McGee, the $44 million man, is more than likely going to see his minutes within the second-unit, not as [...]

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 [...]

It’s been a strange and unusual offseason for the Houston Rockets.  After stockpiling multiple picks in the 2012 NBA Draft, amnestying arguable their best player in Luis Scola, trading potential All Star PG Kyle Lowery to the Toronto Raptors, and shipping out their best shot-blocker in Sam Dalembert, the Houston roster is now littered with [...]

In the movie Rebound, Earl “The Goat” Manigault would routinely take his fellow high school student’s lunch money, showing off his legendary leaping abilities by jumping so high that he could grab change off the top of the backboard.
