Congratulations everyone! We haven’t forced you to slog through Dwight Howard- and Los Angeles Lakers-centric drama in quite awhile. Like all good streaks, though, this one too must come to an end. Now. Before returning to Los Angeles for the first time since signing with the Houston Rockets in free agency, Howard was naturally asked [...]

Wow. The New York Knicks are a mess. Let’s not mince words. They’re 12 games under .500, outside the Eastern Conference’s ugly playoff picture and now pursuing unrealistic trades like a child pursues oversized lollipops in a candy store. But don’t worry, because at least Mike Woodson is safe(ish). Raymond Felton, on the other hand, [...]

Welcome to this side of the NBA All-Star Game, folks. Every year, around this time, with the NBA’s trade deadline swiftly approaching, all hell breaks loose. Rumors start being churned out at an alarming rate and this side of the collective bargaining agreement, typically die before they even really start. As with all things, tread [...]

Carmelo Anthony doesn’t appear to be a favorite of George Karl’s anymore. Not to say he ever was. He could have been. If he was, forcing his way off the Denver Nuggets and onto the New York Knicks is a good way to ensure he never would be again. Anyhow, Karl, a veteran NBA coach [...]

Blake Griffin seems conflicted. The 2011 NBA Slam Dunk champion is now so much more than his dunks, having developed into a high-profile, I-do-more-than-rock-rims superstar. With that increase in offensive range has come the need for a new identity. Despite fans clamoring for Griffin and other NBA superstar to partake in the slam dunk competition, [...]

New York Knicks fans will want to listen up. And those who value Carmelo Anthony may want to cry. Anthony, the Knicks’ free-agent-to-be, still takes advice from his former head coach at Syracuse, Jim Boeheim. From the New York Daily News‘ Peter Botte: He’s a guy I kind of bounce a lot of stuff off [...]

Happy (almost) NBA All-Star Weekend everyone. Something is in the air, and it’s not love. Well, maybe a little bit of love. Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, after all. Most of what you’re sensing, though, is more chaos. Although the top-most teams remain relatively consistent in their performance, the mediocre and bottom-feeding outfits [...]

With all the talk about where Carmelo Anthony and LeBron James will end up this summer, money and salary are on the minds of NBA GM’s as usual, but it got us thinking about the richest players in the NBA today. 10-T. Shawn Marion 35-year old 4-time All-Star Shawn Marion has made about $10 million [...]

Let’s call last year’s NBA trade deadline what it was: Awful and boring. Next, let’s guess what this year’s NBA trade deadline will be like: Potentially awful and boring. The current collective bargaining agreement has made it so NBA teams aren’t as frivolous with their spending and willingness to assume long-term contracts. Punitive luxury-tax penalties [...]

Carmelo Anthony is a member of the New York Knicks and that’s not going to change—at least not until this summer. A source told Yahoo! Sports’ Marc J. Spears “there is ‘no chance’ the Knicks will deal Carmelo Anthony, who owns a contract opt-out this summer, before the trade deadline.” Although it’s been said before, [...]
