Given what his playmaking abilities meant to this team, there are few things that the Celtics wouldn’t consider doing to instill some sort of change. Dealing [...]

The Dallas Mavericks are struggling. Like really struggling. Like they need Dirk Nowitzki to drop 25 a night bad struggling. But that’s no reason to rush the rehabilitation on his surgically repaired knee. Dallas was given a gift when Nowitzki made a surprise return against the San Antonio Spurs.

The Phoenix Suns continue to make difficult decisions surrounding the team’s status at point guard. If the team isn’t being goaded into trading Steve Nash, it’s throwing a pile of money Goran Dragic’s way.

The Dallas Mavericks have thought about it, they know it’s inevitable, but there’s no use pretending Mark Cuban and company were hoping it wouldn’t happen. I’m of course referring to the team being forced to face life without Dirk Nowitzki. Nowitzki, one of the NBA’s most durable and prolific scorers, is having knee troubles, the [...]
