A week later and Dwight Howard is still being blasted for leaving LA. Is it justified? And what’s the future look like for the Lakers? Kevin Burke discusses… If you often find yourself too busy to watch The Hoop Doctors Podcasts, get them on the go for your iPhone or iPad! Subscribe to our Podcasts in the [...]

The Boston Celtics have a message for Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce: Thank you. With Garnett and Pierce headed to the Brooklyn Nets as the Celtics begin an extensive rebuild, the time for reflection is now. All the wins. All the hard-fought battles. All the emotions. The one championship. Everything. Pierce spent 15 years in [...]

Steve Nash was right, Dwight Howard really didn’t want to play for the Los Angeles Lakers. The NBA free-agency period is winding down. Most of the big-name players have signed, and a majority of the drama is over. And still I find myself writing about the Lakers on an almost daily basis. Partly because I [...]

The Brooklyn Nets just added a nice bench, complimentary player in Andrei Kirilenko. However, in doing so, they’ve added to their already unprecedented luxury tax bill but that doesn’t seem to bother owner Mikhail Prokhorov. Kirilenko will be the Nets mini-mid level exception player and actually took less money to play in Brooklyn. He could’ve [...]

Looking at the Atlanta Hawks, you just can’t help but shake your head. They let Josh Smith walk, which is cool. I was exhausted from writing about him, them and the rift that existed-but-didn’t-really-exist-except-it-did-exist between them. Snagging Paul Millsap was more than fine by me, too.

Don’t look now, but with the addition of Josh Smith and now Chauncey Billups, the Detroit Pistons roster isn’t too shabby at all. Billups has agreed to return to the Motor City on a 2-year deal. Billups will come off the bench as he grooms Brandon Knight, but in all honesty, Chauncey is still plenty [...]

Okay, this is just eery. ‘Chip off the old block’ they say, right? I know they share DNA and all, but in this picture Lebron and his biological father, Anthony McClelland look like twins. His father had just a tad more hair though….                       That’s [...]

A few days ago, we reported that the Cavs had interest in Andrew Bynum. Well, that interest turned into a reality, as the big man has in fact signed with the Cavs. However, due to his shaky knees, his contract isn’t fully guaranteed and poses little risk for Cleveland. On paper, the Cavs have assembled [...]

For Kobe Bryant, less is never more. Still working his way back from a ruptured Achilles injury and facing the prospect of leading the Los Angeles Lakers to a lottery berth once he does, one would expect the importance of next summer to resonate with the Black Mamba. Steve Nash is the only player on [...]

Today is officially the first day that teams can sign free agents. Prior to today, everything was speculative and only in principle. Also, prior to today, teams were not allowed to comment on any of their pending move during the moratorium period. That’s why there were so many anonymous sources quotes. The Houston Rockets were [...]
