Jeremy Tyler’s Rise Is What’s Wrong With The NBA

Thursday, June 16th, 2011

I’d like to think former San Diego High School standout/Maccabi Haifa flame out Jeremy Tyler’s unexpected rise up the draft charts is really the product of NBA front offices trying to trick each other into drafting the next Kwame Brown. Like everyone is saying how talented he is and how ...

Kelvin Sampson Is A Favorite For The Detroit Pistons Job

Monday, June 13th, 2011

Ah, the NBA. Only in that league does Billy Knight get to be a GM, Donald Sterling gets to keep owning a team, Vinny Del Negro gets multiple jobs as a head coach, and a pissy Deron Williams gets to run off a legend like Jerry Sloan before being traded ...

Jeremy Tyler Could Be A First Round Pick After All

Tuesday, May 24th, 2011

Remember Jeremy Tyler? We do. He's the San Diego kid who skipped his senior year of high school to go play basketball internationally in Israel...with terrible results. Since then Tyler, who was considered the nation's top high school player before bolting overseas, played a season in the Japan and has ...

Jonas Valanciunas In The Mix For The Top Pick In The NBA Draft

Tuesday, May 17th, 2011

Yesterday we reported that Turkish forward/center Enes Kanter could end up being the No. 1 overall pick in the 2011 NBA Draft. Other than Duke point guard Kyrie Irving and Arizona forward Derrick Williams, Kanter is really the only guy scouts have mentioned at No. 1 until now. Well, toss ...

Monday, May 16th, 2011

Despite re-signing coach Doc Rivers to a five-year extension, not everything will go smoothly for the Boston Celtics this offseason.

Doc Rivers “Probably Will” Be Back Next Year

Wednesday, May 11th, 2011

The Boston Celtics were smacked around by the Miami Heat in a five-game series that ended the Celtics' hopes of returning to the NBA Finals for the third time in four years.

A Franchise Tag In The NBA?

Wednesday, May 11th, 2011

One of the most contentious issues in the NFL these days is the franchise tag designation. The rule essentially allows an NFL team to prevent a player from hitting free agency by "tagging" him and keeping him for a season at an elevated salary. Now, the NBA has apparently proposed ...

Rudy Gay Out In Memphis?

Tuesday, May 10th, 2011

Last offseason, the Memphis Grizzlies essentially handed the keys to their franchise over to small forward Rudy Gay. The 24-year-old responded with a great regular season, averaging 19.8 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game. Then he injured his shoulder and things got interesting. After Gay separated his shoulder in ...
