The Sacramento Kings continue to baffle the masses. As is the case with every season, the Kings entered the 2012-13 crusade hoping for a fresh start. Instead, they’ve picked up right where they’ve continuously been leaving off—losing. Sacramento has become the poster-team for failure.

Courtney Lee was supposed to be a championship-caliber piece that helped push the Boston Celtics back into contention. But that hasn’t been the case. And it may never be. According to David Aldridge of NBA.com, the Celtics may be dangling Lee as trade bait: Lee agreed to four-year, $21 million contract in a sign-and-trade deal [...]

Rajon Rondo and the Boston Celtics have some work to do. After an offseason that saw Boston lose Ray Allen, yet gain enough talent to supposedly remain title contenders, the team is off to a lukewarm 2-2 start. More troubling than the Celtics’ record, though, is their performances during both their wins and losses. Not [...]
