Don’t look now, but with the addition of Josh Smith and now Chauncey Billups, the Detroit Pistons roster isn’t too shabby at all. Billups has agreed to return to the Motor City on a 2-year deal. Billups will come off the bench as he grooms Brandon Knight, but in all honesty, Chauncey is still plenty [...]

A few days ago, we reported that the Cavs had interest in Andrew Bynum. Well, that interest turned into a reality, as the big man has in fact signed with the Cavs. However, due to his shaky knees, his contract isn’t fully guaranteed and poses little risk for Cleveland. On paper, the Cavs have assembled [...]

For Kobe Bryant, less is never more. Still working his way back from a ruptured Achilles injury and facing the prospect of leading the Los Angeles Lakers to a lottery berth once he does, one would expect the importance of next summer to resonate with the Black Mamba. Steve Nash is the only player on [...]

Today is officially the first day that teams can sign free agents. Prior to today, everything was speculative and only in principle. Also, prior to today, teams were not allowed to comment on any of their pending move during the moratorium period. That’s why there were so many anonymous sources quotes.

The Boston Celtics don’t need to send Rajon Rondo anywhere. Apparently. Much has been made of Boston’s decision to hire analytic-guru and rookie head coach Brad Stevens, no conjecture more powerful than that which questions Rondo’s future in Bean town. After watching the Celtics trade away Kevin Garnett, Doc Rivers, Paul Pierce and Jason Terry, [...]

The New York Knicks should be afraid. Very afraid. Carmelo Anthony, the lone superstar on the Knicks’ roster can become an unrestricted free agent next summer, an opportunity he will likely seize. Then 30, this will be ‘Melo’s first chance to explore free agency, and he’s not going to pass it up. He’ll join a [...]

It’s looking more and more like there is truth to the rumor that the LA Lakers will use their amnesty clause provision to cut Metta World Peace from the team, and save approximately $30 Million against the cap. News first started to break last night when Kevin Ding of the OC Register tweeted this: Sweet [...]
