Josh Smith is at it again. Much has been made of Smith’s previous assertion that he is a max contract player and while the general consensus borders on split, J-Smoove is standing by his sentiments (via Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe): That was supposed to clear the pathway to happiness for Smith, who felt [...]

Serge Ibaka received an early (late?) Christmas gift from the NBA. Following an incident where Ibaka maliciously (yes, maliciously) struck Blake Griffin in the groin, the Oklahoma City Thunder’s power forward was fined $25,000 for his actions and his Flagrant 1 was upgraded to a Flagrant 2. Serge Ibaka has been fined $25,000 for his [...]

Carmelo Anthony’s latest injury is both serious and not-so-serious. The New York Knicks’ star forward left Monday night’s game against the Cleveland Cavaliers with a bruised right knee and did not return. Though he himself asserted that it wasn’t serious at all, any bump or bruise New York’s leading scorer suffers is cause for major [...]

Stephen Curry torched the New York Knicks for 54 points Wednesday night, sending the most potent of “what could have been” messages possible. As I’m sure most remember, the Knicks had their sights set on Curry in the 2009 NBA draft, but the Golden State Warriors took him seventh overall. Adding insult to injury was [...]

Their point guards couldn’t get much going, with the Pacers closing up passing lanes as quickly as they opened up. By the end of [...]

People have criticized the NBA All-Star Dunk Contest over the years for not having enough star power to captivate the world’s attention. With names like Darrell Armstrong, Jonathan Bender, and Chris Morris, the dunk contest hasn’t even captivated the attention of the basketball world. Even with contestants like Kobe Bryant, Vince Carter, Shawn Kemp, and [...]

Anything can happen leading into the NBA trade deadline, but that hardly means everything we hear will. As such we must take Alex Kennedy of HOOPWROLD’s latest report that the New York Knicks are targeting Josh Smith with a grain of salt: Every year at the trade deadline, there is at least one move that [...]

Luke Ridnour might be headed somewhere before the NBA trade deadline passes, but it’s unlikely that “somewhere” is the New York Knicks. Per Alex Kennedy of HOOPSWORLD, the Knicks have expressed interest in the Minnesota Timberwolves’ point guard. The New York Knicks have expressed interest in Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Luke Ridnour, according to source. [...]
