Let’s get something straight: Trading Pau Gasol would be a mistake for the Los Angeles Lakers. At least right now. Not just because Steve Nash wants to play alongside him and not just because the Lakers owe it to their newly constructed team to see if the current dynamic works, but also because Los Angeles [...]

Pau Gasol has recently been staring at a figurative clock on his time with the Lakers. As LA has been moving from their more traditional offense to a 7-seconds-or-less style, the need for athletic size has put glaring emphasis on Gasol. Gasol is, in my opinion, a top 5 forward on his worst day in [...]

The Los Angeles Clippers are absolutely infuriating. Yes, infuriating. I personally spent a large chunk of the NBA offseason criticizing their roster and many of the moves they made; I simply didn’t believe they were a contender, or even a viable powerhouse for that matter. But then the season began. Los Angeles was 8-2, Chris [...]

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. And now, Phoenix has opted to place Kendall Marshall, their rookie facilitator outside of the rotation. According to Michael Schwartz of [...]

After all, as talented a core as Ryan Anderson, Anthony Davis, Eric Gordon and [...]

August 29, 2012 – Mohamed Abdihakim The good news is…no one was packing heat in a Wizards locker room this past season. Nonetheless, it ain’t easy being a pro hoops fan in Washington. [...]

August 16, 2012 – Dan Favale We’ve watched a bounty of NBA teams improve their rosters dramatically this offseason, but the New York Knicks aren’t one of them. The Nets, Lakers, Sixers, Nuggets, Heat, Thunder and even the Hornets have managed to move forward, while the Knicks still seem stuck in an unhealthy mindset. What [...]

August 7, 2012 – Rob De France The Orlando Magic and Dwight Howard want the same thing—to build a championship team. The question is whether or not they can achieve that goal together. Although the Magic have stopped entertaining trade offers for Howard, the Gold-medal Olympian has recently reiterated that he will explore free agency [...]

July 24, 2012 – Rob De France After moving 2-time MVP and 8-time All-Star Steve Nash, the Phoenix Suns have reloaded quickly. The Suns will have their ups and downs in the regular season, but this is a team others will try to avoid come playoff time. Letting go of Nash was challenging for the [...]
