Chad Ford: Sources: Four-way Nets-Magic-Cavs-Clippers trade for Dwight Howard getting “close”. Proposed Nets-Magic deal: Nets would get Dwight Howard, Jason Richardson, Chris Duhon & Earl Clark. Magic get Brook Lopez in S&T, Luke Walton, Damian James, Sheldon Williams, Armon Johnson and 3 fi...

the more I look at the Lowry deal, the more I think it's probably a decent deal. When you look at our picks over the history of the draft, the only guys that were very good players were TMac, Damon, VC, and Bosh. Other decent players were Bargnani, and possibly, Valuncias. (correct me if I am missi...

In an unforeseen reversal, Jason Kidd has decided to leave the Dallas Mavericks to join the New York Knicks, according to sources familiar with the decision. With the Mavericks confident that they were closing in Thursday on a verbal agreement on a three-year deal with Kidd worth $9 million, sources...

So are we now stuck with Calderone and Bayless again? Nope. Lowry. The Raptors are close to acquiring Kyle Lowry in a trade agreement with the Rockets. Houston will receive at least one first round pick, most likely in 2013. The Rockets had tried to acquire Toronto's 2012 pick while targeting eithe...

Nash will receive a three-year deal in excess of $25 million, sources said, because the Suns ultimately agreed to sign-and-trade him to the Lakers, who can absorb Nash via the trade exception they created by dealing Lamar Odom to the Dallas Mavericks in December.

Wow.

Nash to Lakers for 4 draft picks and cash.

I love the creative part of making the offer but I am confused how they could include a restricted free agent as part of any deal. If he currently doesn't have a deal then how can you trade him? and how does he have any value in a trade if he doesn't have a contract? Is there a difference between &...

Marc Stein reports that the Raptors have agreed to terms with Knicks RFA guard Landry Fields, at three years for around $20 million. That's exactly the sort of backloaded, poison pill deal we wrote about yesterday—the Knicks have the right to match the offer, but probably not the financial wherewith...

Yeah, he was acquired to deal with the size of the Lakers...and is not needed so much for the defense of about 26 other teams in the L. It was a good trade at the time. Jeff Green is not real good at basketball and wasn't at all a part of the future plan. And at the time, the Lakers were still in &...

Was discussing with a buddy today if Kobe can break Kareem's record. He basically needs to average 20 PPG until he's 40. He could make it in just over 3.5 years if he averaged 30 (and didn't miss any games) - but he hasn't done that in 6 years. My buddy thinks he has a shot, I think that even if the...

NEW YORK – Baron Davis tore the anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments in his right knee, a potentially career-threatening injury for the New York Knicks' 33-year-old point guard. The Knicks said Davis was expected to be out a year after an MRI on Monday also revealed a partial tear of th...

Harden is absolutely a max player. His numbers are held down because he has two of the highest usage players in the league on his team, but he's a fantastic scorer. His points per possession are through the roof because he hits 3s and he gets to the line a ton. And every time they've needed him to s...

Dwane Casey is optimistic of how much Jonas Valanciunas will improve the defense of the Raptors. “I saw him last summer with the Lithuanian national team and the Euro games in the championships — big-time energy, runs the floor, rebounds. At the worst, we’re getting a Joakim Noah from Chicago — a gu...
