All the talk these days has been about who will join the New York Knicks this summer. But who will be on his way out? All signs seem to point towards guard Chris Duhon—who struggled in his second season with the team—heading out of town. After playing college ball for the Duke Blue Devils under Coach K, it wouldn't be a surprise if Duhon had gotten enough of the Knicks' losing ways. Duhon opted ...

ESPN recently reported that Mike Miller of the Washington Wizards and Kyle Korver of the Utah Jazz could be possible free agent targets for the Los Angeles Lakers in the coming weeks. Both players are unrestricted free agents, but Miller's versatility would be a better fit for the Lakers if they are contemplating adding one of the two players. Miller and Korver are deadly perimeter shooters, but Korver's value is basically limited ...

Free Agency has finally arrived. You have your eyes on the big guys, like LeBron. But don’t forget about the biggest guy of all, the Big Diesel. Shaquille O'Neal. Shaq is running on his last leg, but he could still provide a solid piece for a team in need of a big man to get over the hump. He is probably not going to resign with the Cavaliers, who have tunnel vision ...

Whew. What a wild couple of weeks we have had, huh? After losing a gut-wrenching Game Seven to the Fakers, it’s been an utter apocalypse of speculation and quite frankly, of pure abomination. It has been downright annoying to flip around to all of my favorite basketball news sites and blogs to read about all of these unnamed sources saying where LeBron, Bosh, and D-Wade ...

Paul Pierce just entered himself into the middle of the free-agent race late last night. NBA experts primarily left Pierce out of all the free agency talks because they believed the Boston swingman would naturally stay with the Celtics. That might not be the case, however. By opting out of his contract and deciding to test the waters of free agency, Pierce leaves Boston in a tough position. Boston must now give him more ...

There's so much talk of sign-and-trades and deals to get under cap space—and it's only going to get more heated over the next week. So we figured we'd take a step back and give NBA execs a little perspective on what can go wrong if you focus too much on the now and not enough on the later. You'll see some lists out there that give you the five worst trades of ...

At first glance, LeBron James appears to be holding the basketball world in his massive hands as July 1, 2010 looms ominously just below the horizon.  A closer look reveals that the ball isn’t actually in LeBron’s court as he ponders his future. No, it’s not up to Worldwide William Wesley or Maverick Carter.  It’s not up to LeBron’s family circle, his mom, or his girlfriend. Instead, the ...

The clock keeps ticking till we get to Thursday at 12:01 a.m. ET. for the biggest party this summer. NBA Free Agency 2010. People all along have said this is, without a doubt, the greatest free agent class of all time in any sport ever. How can you disagree? You have a two-time NBA MVP in LeBron James, a NBA Finals MVP in Dwayane Wade, a double-double machine in ...

Hedo Turkoglu, yet again, spoke to the Turkish media for a second time this offseason to clarify his earlier comments and do some damage control. More interestingly, he seems to pose in his Toronto Raptors athletic wear while working out in his native Turkey. Just by picture alone, one could easily assume two things. He still consider himself as a Raptor, and he is trying to get back in better shape. ...

On April 26, 2006, whilst in the midst of perhaps his greatest individual season, Kobe Bryant announced his intention to change his number from eight to 24, beginning with the 2006-2007 season. For such a seemingly small event, this announcement garnered major coverage in the sports media world.  When Bryant initially refused to reveal the reason for the change, numerous theories arose as to why he was making a mid-career switch.  ...
