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. [...]

Monta Ellis isn’t Dwight Howard, and that’s not a problem for Mark Cuban. 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. Deron Williams spurned them for the Brooklyn Nets last summer, and Howard chose the Houston [...]

Unless he gets hit by a bus, Andrew Wiggins is almost a lock to get one of the Top 2 draft picks in the 2014 NBA Draft. He’s that good, he’s that athletic. However for now, he’s still got to focus on his first season of college hoops with the Kansas Jayhawks. The Hoop Doctors [...]

Paul George’s future with the Indiana Pacers isn’t an issue…because he has one. A bright one. Entering his fourth year in the NBA, George is eligible for a contract extension. The Pacers have until October 31 to iron out a deal with the league’s Most Improved Player, otherwise he’ll hit restricted free agency next summer. [...]

They don’t call Paul Pierce The Truth for no reason. Not necessarily known as a harsh off-court personality, Pierce has no qualms telling it like it is.

Earlier this off-season, Gay underwent eye surgery. Gay has never been confused with being a great [...]

With a depleted Chicago Bulls squad limping their way through the playoffs, Nate Robinson took full advantage. Nate had flashes of brilliance during the playoffs on a national level and all but guaranteed that he’d have plenty of suitors given his pending free agency. But if you’ve followed Nate throughout his career, you know that [...]

Good for DeMarcus Cousins. It’s gotten to the point where people almost assume the 22-year-old is going to say the wrong thing, that he’s going to do the wrong thing. And on some levels, we can’t really chastise the ones that do. Over the last three years, Cousins has been equal parts promise and infuriating. [...]

Kevin Martin entered his tenure in OKC with lofty shoes to fill. James Harden was a fan favorite and was deal without much of a heads up. Martin filled in admirably but OKC didn’t live up to expectations. Because of their cap situation, OKC couldn’t offer Martin much money, but he still considered staying.  “He [...]

The Dallas Mavericks have been rumored to be interested in Dwight Howard for a few years now. But hours before the news broke that Dwight was signing with Houston, there was a report out there that the Mavs were told they were out of the running. Therefore, it’s quite ironic and funny, that Mark Cuban [...]
