Toronto Raptors fans have that sinking feeling.  The Raptors are about to lose their marquee player again.  This is a road they have been down before.  Whether it is Damon Stoudamire, Tracy McGrady, Vince Carter and now Chris Bosh (likely), all the super star players that have worn the Raptors jersey have left the city and the franchise high and dry. After being the seventh pick in the ...

No. 19: Mason Plumlee, Forward, Duke University Last year, a broken wrist forced Mason Plumlee to the sidelines. The injury forced him to miss the end of summer practice and the season’s first six games.

NBA Free Agency speculation is at an all-time high, and rightfully so.  LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh headline a free agent class that has been the most highly anticipated group of unsigned players possibly in the history of sports.  A handful of teams made it a priority--some even threw in the towel--to clear cap space and ready themselves for the class of 2010. One such team was the Chicago Bulls, ...

It's possibly the hottest question in basketball right now: will LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh join forces to create the ultimate team?  It is an intriguing question, to be sure.  Those three All-Stars wearing the same uniform would certainly be a potent combination on paper.  But sports aren't played on paper. The 2008 Boston Celtics.  The 2004 Los Angeles Lakers.  The 1997 Houston Rockets.  The 1968 Los Angeles Lakers.  ...

A question that fans around the globe are currently asking, that was considered irrelevant before the Summer of NBA Free Agency 2010, is now being proposed.

Ronald "Flip" Murray could shoot threes well, but was considered to  lack the stamina and conditioning ...

NBA free agency is in full swing as we reach the Fourth of July weekend. So far, the major players have either re-upped with their former teams or are still on the fence over who to sign with. Dwyane Wade should be the first mega star to part ways with his former team. And in doing so, he should sign with the Chicago Bulls. There have been multiple reports that Wade is ...

$119 million is $119 million. This was the best offer Joe Johnson could get from any NBA team, and he will now have the chance to try and finish what he and the Hawks have been building in Atlanta. But what does accepting the offer say about Johnson? Simply put, it says that Johnson just really isn’t worth it. Johnson was supposed to wait and see what the other free agents (LeBron, Wade, Stoudemire, and ...

LeBron James to the New York Knicks? What seemed unlikely on Thursday, now could become a reality after all. On Saturday, Amare Stoudemire agreed to a max contract offer from the Knicks.

Everyone in Dallas was on the edge of their seat. The greatest Maverick in franchise history was on the free market, possibly courting offers. A few insiders knew he'd be back, and they were right. Dirk Nowitzki agreed to come back for a four year, $80 million contract with Dallas. The move left some people confused, though. He could have gotten $96.2 million. Why did he take less money? The answer is the team. Dirk loves the Mavericks. ...
