The Los Angeles Lakers aren’t going to trade Dwight Howard, and Magic Johnson should remember that. Per Matt Formica of Hoopsvibe.com, Johnson took a controversial stance on Howard’s situation: Magic Johnson just made it clear (on National TV) that if he was Lakers CEO Jim Buss, he would trade Dwight Howard. “If I’m Mark Cuban, [...]

Kobe Bryant is a lot of things, but patient isn’t one of them. With the Los Angeles falling to 17-23 and three games outside of the Western Conference’s playoff picture, naturally, the Black Mamba’s patience is wearing thin. Everybody who calls Hollywood home is undoubtedly at their wits end and everyone has their own idea [...]

Doc Rivers isn’t happy with the Boston Celtics, and we can’t really blame him. After losing four straight games, the Celtics went on a six game winning streak, one that included four victories over playoff hopefuls. Since then, Boston has dropped another three in a row, two of which have come against an Eric Gordon-less [...]

Tyson Chandler, not Kevin Garnett should be starting for the Eastern Conference in the 2013 NBA All-Star Game. Case closed. In what was a completely expected snub, Garnett was named as an All-Star starter while Chandler was left to wonder if he would be able to make the final coaches cut. But while it was [...]

Visions of a championship are going to prove fleeting for the Memphis Grizzlies. It may not be this season, it may not even be over the summer, but the Grizzlies are going to be disbanded. Under the weight of the not-so-new CBA, Memphis is going to get taxed up the you know what if it [...]

In the midst of a rebuild, few expected the Blazers to toil with a .500 record, let alone a playoff [...]

Josh Smith of the Atlanta Hawks needs to go. I’ve fought such a feeling since the team dealt Joe Johnson to the Brooklyn Nets. I believed that now free from the shackles that is playing alongside Johnson, Smith would thrive. I believed that as “the man” in Atlanta, he would want to stay. I believed [...]

In a sit-down with Gary Woelfel of the Journal Times, one thing was made clear: Samuel Dalembert and Scott Skiles did not see eye to eye. The 31 year old veteran center was acquired from Houston in the off season. After contributing some solid minutes to the team’s gritty image and surprising record, Dalembert wound [...]

Mark Cuban and Dirk Nowitzki want the Dallas Mavericks to not just win, but contend for a title. But is that even possible? With the current roster, no. Hence Cuban’s interest in holding a fire sale. Or rather, a “I’ll take on any contract you don’t want if I like them” sale. Though Nowitzki’s return [...]

The Washington Wizards aren’t known for their basketball savvy anymore, yet not even they would be dumb enough to trade rookie Bradley Beal. Anywhere. Remember when THD sat down with Beal when he was coming out of HS? Well he’s come a long way since then, and is now becoming legit at the pro level [...]
