We are a week removed from the 2010 NBA Draft, and the speculation on which pick will boom and which will bust is only heating up, despite the free agent frenzy. Will John Wall turn around Washington? Who will be the best big man in the class, Favors, Monroe, or Cousins? I've analyzed the first round, and some bonus selections from the second round. Let's go!Begin Slideshow

Thursday night and Friday morning was a strange time to be a fan of the Suns. I personally felt betrayed because of the Amar'e Stoudemire situation. I know, I am in a group of people who believed that Stoudemire needed to return. Not everyone believes that. One thing I am certain of is that any scenario in which Amare leaves, no matter who replaces him, is a step back for the ...

When Kevin Garnett was asked, just minutes after he and the Boston Celtics had dispatched the Cavaliers from the playoffs, what he thought Lebron James should do in the impending free agency period, Garnett advised Lebron to leave the idea of loyalty behind and go out and find a team that could get him a championship. That advice is coming from a player who also toiled in a secondary market ...

Although it’s highly unlikely Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban will allow Dirk Nowitzki to bolt for greener pastures in the NBA, let’s take a quick look at five reasons why he SHOULD leave the Mavs. With the latest news hitting the waves concerning Nowitzki and his last-second change of plans stop in New York to visit with lifelong friend Steve Nash, many people in Dallas are more than concerned about the ...

I will be the first to admit the nuances of the NBA's collective bargaining agreement can be nearly impossible to follow, and the sliding-scale progression can read like a foreign language. However, when ESPN recently reported that any combination of a proposed super team gathering in Miami would have to accept contracts for roughly 15 million dollars per year over a five year period, it was in a language I clearly understood. ESPN made ...

This summer's high-caliber NBA free agency has brought every media outlet to its knees, begging for the next "insightful piece of information." Most of this insight is hearsay, speculation, and dramatics.  That being said, a new rumor has been surfacing during the last couple of days regarding the Houston Rockets' pursuit of a top free agent.  That free agent, of course, is Chris Bosh...and maybe Amar'e Stoudemire, too.  According to Yahoo! Sports, the Houston ...

It’s hard to get a read on what Nate Robinson’s value is this offseason as a free agent point guard. Krypto-Nate hardly played the first half of the season, being benched by Mike D’Antoni for various reasons (none of which made a lot of sense). Robinson’s season turned around when the Knicks sent him to Boston, where he fit perfectly and garnered playoff experience. The three-time slam dunk champion has been a fan-favorite ...

So many free agents, so little time. We have all heard about the big fella, but the role players need some love too. No championship team has been made without an excellent supporting cast. Except maybe the 2006 Miami Heat. Dwyane Wade won going 1-on-5. Although it seems like there is myriad of free agents abound this summer, one thing isn’t in great supply are three-point specialists. However, Kyle Korver is the definition ...

Around this time last year, Warriors fans across the Bay Area were excited with the young talent and potential that the blue and orange had put together. No, the Warriors weren't a contender, but the team had some nice pieces, and as the season went along, they cleared some cap space for this year's free agent frenzy. On the one-week anniversary of the 2010 Draft, the Golden State faithful should be questioning ...

After all of the hype, 2010 free agency is finally among us. Teams unloaded rosters and put all of their eggs in the free agency basket. These next few days could make or break franchises for the next decade. Chris Bosh is among the cream of the crop of this free agency class. He is nowhere near the caliber of player his counterparts LeBron James and Dwyane Wade are, but somehow, he could end ...
