Mike Miller had one thing on his mind after being amnestied by the Miami Heat: Pringles. I’m most definitely not kidding, though that does need some clarifying. The Heat announced on Tuesday that they would be waiving Miller via the amnesty clause after the forward spent three years with the team. Miller was informed on [...]

Like Carmelo Anthony before him, Metta World Peace has finally come home. After spending nearly a decade and a half elsewhere, World Peace has joined the New York Knicks, the team that passed over him in the 1999 NBA draft in favor of Frederic Weis. Long past his prime, World Peace is also far removed [...]

Elton Brand is now an Atlanta Hawk. The veteran signed a 1-year deal with the club. With the addition of Brand (albeit an older Brand), and with Al Horford there, the Hawks have a pretty decent front court. We know that GM Danny Ferry has decided to shake things up and this Brand signing is [...]

During the 1999 NBA Draft, the New York Knicks had the opportunity to select Queens native Ron Artest. Instead, they opted for European-born Frederic Weis. Weis would go on to get hurdled by Vince Carter in the 2000 Olympics, while Artest would go on to have a solid career. All it took was 14 years, [...]

J.R. Smith’s brief tenure with the Knicks has been up and down to say the least. First, he complained about wanting to be a starter, then went out and won Sixth Man of the Year.

Though “good news” and “Derrick Rose” are no longer synonymous with each other, the Chicago Bulls finally have something to look forward to next season—Rose’s actual return. Rose was in Real Madrid, and when asked about his return, he responded by saying he is 100 percent and will play in [...]

Hakeem Olajuwon has been retired for more than a decade, but he’s just as active these days. For several years now, he has been working with NBA big men on their footwork and moves in the post. Judging by some of the film, the Dream could probably still give some guys fits. After acquiring Dwight [...]

The Boston Celtics have been completely dismantled from top to bottom, and the only mainstay is Rajon Rondo who is coming off an ACL tear. Rondo has been rumored to be a difficult teammate and he has admitted to being difficult to coach. It will be interesting to see how he fairs with rookie NBA [...]

Greg Oden appears to be well on his way to another go ’round in the NBA. He has only played the equivalent of one NBA season so far (82 games) since being drafted in 2007, but maybe the second chapter will be better. Oden is scheduled to meet with three NBA teams regarding a possible [...]
