That’s right, the guy who has made few (if any) NBA-related headlines since he signed Elton Brand back in 1999 is once again having his name appear in the body of many articles…again because of Elton Brand. Rumor is that William Wesley still likes him, but Donald Dell will always hate him and I believe […]

Let’s Make Some Magic Discussion
A couple of weeks ago, I claimed that J.J. Redick was stuck somewhere between a rock and a hard place. After the Orlando Magic added yet another guard to their roster (Mickael Pietrus), where does that leave our main man J.J. now? Keyon Dooling does not like his chances of getting time in the Magic […]
A little late on this, but better late then never. Salary cap for this season = $58,680,000 Tax level = $71.150 million (teams above that number must pay the league a dollar for each dollar that it exceeds the level) Mid-level exception = $5.585 million Minimum team salary (salary floor) = $44.010 million Last season’s […]

So Who’s Scouting the Scouts???
After reading Darren’s post and reading some other commentary around the web, I found it very surprising that no one felt that the teams or scouts were at fault in the Darrell Arthur situation. Don’t get me wrong, I agree his agent certainly fumbled the ball in regards to clarifying his client’s medical condition to […]
Rick Reilly recently got a large stipend to move his belongings from Sports Illustrated to the Bristol-based company, ESPN. Since he arrived at the World Wide Leader in Sports, I have not been wowed with any of his pieces. Finally, I can find some interest in one of his write-ups. Reilly just penned a piece […]
It has been a week since ESPN delightfully covered the 2008 NBA Draft. Adam Silver has never had as many people cheer for him in his life (if you did not see the second round, then you have no idea what I am talking about). We have had enough time to digest the plethora of […]
Only two years remain on LeBron James’s contract with his hometown Cleveland Cavaliers, and rumors are already starting to brew about the possibility of King James moving to the big apple. The Knicks appear to be making room on their expensive team with the intentions of adding James’ large contract demands. Knick fans even have […]
After the whole Tim Donaghy scandal, it would be smart if athletes decided to stop gambling, at least for a while. Even though there is very little stopping audiences from using websites like casinokompassi.com nettikasinot to put a few wagers on here and there, and the fact that you can now use cryptocurrency so no […]

One and Done
Last Thursday night we saw 10 college freshmen get drafted in the 2008 NBA Draft. Those 10 freshmen dazzled college basketball from opening night, to the NCAA Championship game. But after seeing those 10 kids get drafted, it really makes you second guess this rule that states players must be one year removed from high […]

A $1,118,060 Mistake
While watching the 2008 NBA Draft last week, I could not help myself from drawing a connection between Brady Quinn and Darrell Arthur. Sure, they are not the same color and do not even play the same sport, but both had to go through the agonizing experience of having ESPN cameras flash their lights on […]
