Monta Ellis-To-New York Knicks Deal Makes Perfect Sense
Posted: 6th July 2010 by Ted Sillanpaa in NBA
There's no denying that Monta Ellis is an entertaining, explosive player on one of the worst teams in the NBA.
Take Ellis away from the Golden State Warriors and it becomes a team with point guard Stephen Curry and a bunch of players who can't be watched without without partially covering your eyes.

Every day that goes by and LeBron James remains silent on his pending free agency decision, the anxiety and tension inside me grows to the point where I think I physically can't take it anymore.
For weeks after the Boston Massacre, I prepped myself for LeBron leaving. After all, there was only one way he could seriously consider leaving: if the Cavs totally collapsed in the playoffs before reaching the Finals, ...

NBA Free Agency: What the Nets Should Do If They Don’t Get the Top of the Class
Posted: 6th July 2010 by jake winiecki in NBA
As it appears now, unless the Nets can get LeBron and have him bring along someone else, the Nets aren't going to sign a "top notch" free agent. That's okay though.
Right now the Nets starting line up would consist of Brook Lopez, Derrick Favors, Devin Harris, Courtney Lee, and someone else who won't be the starter come this fall.
With Lopez and the very talented Favors down low, the Nets have ...

But does Stoudemire deserve a maximum contract?
Even though Amar'e has a reputation for putting up superb stats, he will not have a legitimate supporting cast in New York because David Lee is a free agent ...
On June 24th, Evan Turner was selected second overall by the Philadelphia 76ers in the 2010 NBA draft. The Sixers, for once, have made the right move.
Turner is a versatile player. He can play three different positions; point guard, shooting guard, and small forward, and can excel at all three. He won National Player of the Year at Ohio State playing point guard, but he will most likely play at two-guard for ...
NBA Free Agent Rumors: Shaquille O’Neal To Join South Beach Superteam?
Posted: 5th July 2010 by Hotnuke in NBA
Let me preface this entire article with one thing. I almost never believe in rumors. However, this is something I heard from a good friend who lives in Miami that I trust, and who has some sources, that I will only say, aren’t always full of bull.
Here’s what he’s telling me.
First, that my dream of a “South Beach Superteam” isn’t just a lock to happen, but that there are already ...
