European Summer

It feels like basketball never leaves. With the NBA finals wrapping up just over a month ago, the Summer Leagues are in full swing. Whilst not every team competes in Vegas, it gives the teams an opportunity to work out who they drafted, and also a few other players who dream of playing in the […]

Invest In An NFL Team

I recently came across an article that claimed The NFL is worth more than the MLB and NBA combined.   The article stated that the average NFL team is worth a healthy $960 million.   The average MLB team earns its owner $475 million, while the NBA average is $375 mill. The NHL has the lowest […]

Someone Help This Man

Drop your agent, fine, but drop your agent and talk smack about the team that currently employs you?  Not so bright.  I have no problem with a player internally doubting whether he made a correct business decision to stay with a team, but to publicize your feelings to ESPN is not always a brilliant idea.  […]

Did The Clips Get Falked?

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 […]

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 […]

See Ya Seattle

After two years of constant bickering between the Sonics new owner and the fans, the time has finally come.  The conclusion of six intense days of trail left Judge Marsha Pechman several days to make her ruling and post it on the federal court’s website.  She was interrupted Wednesday night when Professional Basketball Club LLC […]

Grading The NBA Draft (By Agencies)

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 […]

King Of The Big Apple

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 […]
