LeBron James isn’t even 30 years old yet, but he’s already played in 3 Olympic Games. Don’t forget, he, Wade and Carmelo were all rookies on that 2004 bronze team. Because he has already dedicated so much to Team USA basketball, he may be done. In fact, Jerry Colangelo has already dubbed Kevin Durant as [...]

Mike Miller’s brief 3-year run in Miami came to an end last week when he was amnistied by the Heat. After drawing a fair amount of interest around the league, Miller has decided to return to his old stomping grounds: Memphis.

Nick Young didn’t join the Los Angeles Lakers to play defense. He signed in Hollywood to shoot. That much was clear from Day 1, the moment Young put pen to paper. For more than a half-decade, he’s been known for his (inefficient) scoring and nothing else. Why would he change now? He wouldn’t. And he [...]

Greg Oden hasn’t really shown much during his up-and-down NBA career, but appears to be ready for part 2. Oden is reportedly just about all the way back from knee issues and has drawn the interest of a couple of teams. We hope Oden does well because you hate to see anybody go through that. [...]

The Dallas Mavericks owner put his team in a position to sign a top-tier free agent in each of the last two summers, but to no avail.
