I'm confused why teams score so easily. Our philosophy seems sound in theory (pack the paint and contest threes) and comes from the Indiana school....
I've heard this criticism aimed at the Trail Blazers far more than at other "contenders." So we're supposed to be concerned that our nine-man...
The Asik talk is never going to die until he's trade somewhere. Bill Simmons and Zach Lowe spent several minutes of the latest podcast discussing...
http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=nyxtfok We get Monroe, LA's 2014 unprotected, and CVEC for Aldridge and Matthews. Don't love...
This is a trade I could actually see happening. From Detroit's perspective: Aldridge is a proven All-Star in his prime, and his offensive game...
His answers don't give off hints of lying or hiding his true intentions, and his philosophies make sense. No bullshit....
I'm arbitrarily making these numbers up, but I'm going to try to make them both very appealing--just in different ways--so I'm not stacking the deck...

Olshey said he went into the draft planning to keep only two players. It sounds like Withey might push that to three, but still, where are the last...
There are plenty of threads where I've opined on who the Blazers should target, but I thought this JQuick tidbit was interesting enough to start a...
I couldn't help but notice every five minutes throughout the ECF the commentators noting that the Pacers are "one of the very few" teams that play a...
Marc J. Spears @SpearsNBAYahoo 6m Monta Ellis' potential interest in joining @SacramentoKings as a FA became much stronger with hiring of Mike...
Olshey was hired with a plan, and the first "swing" he took was the Hibbert deal. He successfully wooed Hibbert and signed him to an offer that some...
I'm woefully fuzzy on the finer points of the new CBA and our specific cap situation, but I think this all fits. Summary: Acquisitions are Omer...
