Popovich and the Pau Gasol Trade
When Memphis traded Pau Gasol to the Lakers, San Antonio Head Coach Greg Popovich was one of the biggest critics (probably because he was unable to acquire Gasol to complement Tim Duncan). At the time, Popovich said:"What they did in Memphis is beyond comprehension...There should be a trade committee that...
I am not the biggest WNBA fan in the world (or Sacramento), but I think it is sad to see the Monarchs dissolve.I am proposing to follow through on an idea that I have written about previously. I suggest that some Monarchs fans form an entity, find some residents with...
The Exploitation of the College Athlete
Before I start my rant, I want to preface my comments. I think the NBA Age-Limit was a mistake. I do not think that academically unprepared students should go to four-year schools; that is why we have junior colleges. I think that the one-and-done athlete undermines the educational mission of...
Brandon Jennings and the NBA Draft
Over the last year, I think that I was pretty fair and accurate in my writing about Brandon Jennings and his choice to go to Europe (More to the point, I drafted a documentary featuring Jennings that attempted to show him in the best possible light that his handlers refused...

NBA Teams Need Help, and These Five NBA D-League Players Want Jobs
By: Zachariah Blott A lot of NBA franchises feel that they are one piece away from contending, or at least one piece away from building toward respectability. And although fans want to wheel and deal half their team for Chris Bosh to make it happen (and may even think it’s possible),...
Boxscore Breakfast: Andre Miller Scored 52, and Other Oddities from the Week
By: Zachariah Blott Andre Miller (yes, f’ing Andre Miller) scores 52: Last Saturday in Dallas, journeyman PG Andre Miller, who is not a good shooter and not particularly quick, hit everything in sight to drop a career-high 52 points. Here’s a little perspective on that evening: he’s averaging 13 points per,...
NBA Contenders Increasingly Turning To Wing Defenders Over Scorers as Starters
By: Zachariah Blott A decade ago, teams across the league were looking high and low for someone to defend Shaquille O’Neal in order to give themselves a chance at a title. Big centers made careers out of getting signed in order to guard O’Neal, creating the trend where teams would do...
The State of the NBADL, with D-League Digest’s Steve Weinman – Part II

Detroit Bad Boys
Morning Shootaround: It's Development, Stupid
• Despite the positive vibes coming out of Tuesday's win (a three-guard lineup that doesn't feature Chucky Atkins? Outstanding!), dreams of playoff berths have long been supplanted by those of lottery picks. Unfortunately, even if the Pistons end up with a high pick, there's still a sense of dread among fans...

If Hamilton is playing like he want to remain in Detroit, Tayshaun Prince is acting like he wants out. Yes, his numbers have been picking up (15 points and eight rebounds last night). But his body language hasn’t. In the first quarter, Prince threw a cross-court pass to Rodney...

Recurring Isiah Thomas Rumors Show How Little World Thinks of Clippers
Filed under: Clippers, NBA Rumors, NBA CoachesToday's humorless report that the Clippers will consider Isiah Thomas in replacement of Mike Dunleavy as the team's basketball boss, brought to you by FoxSports.com college writer Jeff Goodman, isn't without precedent.

Danilo Gallinari has been named to the 3-point shootout during all-star weekend. He will also compete in the rookie-sophomore game and is currently averaging 15 and 5 as a starter for the Knicks. Larry Hughes has stated that he will not shave his face until the Knicks either buy him out...
All-stars are coming up, what will the Knicks’ record be by the all-star break?
Rumors are starting that the Knicks are trying to make a move before the trade deadline. Lately I’d say that’s a good idea. We need someone athletic and competent in the back court. The combination of Nate, Chris Duhon, and Toney Douglas isn’t getting it done. We need to try and steal a...
All the Knicks fans I’ve been speaking to lately are losing faith. We’ve been losing in January, Lee got snubbed from the all-star team, and LeBron isn’t coming.

Danilo Gallinari is going to all-star weekend for the rookie-sophomore game. I read that he will also help Nate Robinson compete in the dunk contest. Still no word on the three point contest, but how could Gallo NOT be invited to that, when, the simple fact remains, that there isn’t...
