Sources: Shannon Brown decision down to Lakers &...
Rumor has it that the Knicks have a deal worth between $4-5 million on the table. They are also thought to have more playing time to offer Brown.
Hmm…let’s see…be the 9th man on a team going for a Three-Peat© or the possible 8th man on maybe the 6th best team(at best) in the East….?
WWSBD?

Wojo confirms Heat signing of Eddie House →
He’ll only be the 9th or 10th guy in the rotation but he brings some serious big game experience & has played in Miami before.
Sources: Eddie House to sign with Heat
Never look directly into Pat Riley’s eyes or he will control your mind.

Team LeBron got that story pulled off...
Just guessing…
Shot in the dark…
Whaddya think?
Sheer conjecture here, but I’m assuming Maverick Carter didn’t want a story out there that characterizes LeBron as a Paris Hilton-type, partying, excess, etc. I don’t care what LeBron does with his free time, and quite frankly, I prefer him eating crown-shaped cake and fraternizing with drunks (it’ll keep...
“I fully embrace the notion and still fully intend to talk about him staying a...”
– Bryan Colangelo, on April 19th, 2010. Just an FYI, that’s five days after Toronto’s season ended.
So Colangelo would now like us all to believe that he was willing to not only keep Bosh, who he felt was disinterested in playing out the season, but also willing to exceed the tax limit to...

Team USA down to 15 players.
via ESPN’s Chris Sheridan:
Team USA trimmed its roster to 15 on Wednesday by cutting Tyreke Evans, Gerald Wallace, O.J. Mayo and JaVale McGee.
The cuts left the team with six guards (Derrick Rose, Chauncey Billups, Russell Westbrook, Rajon Rondo, Stephen Curry and Eric Gordon); four wingmen (Kevin Durant, Andre Iguodala, Rudy Gay and Danny Granger); three power forwards (Lamar Odom, Kevin...
APT. 912: beating a dead horse: losing lebron →
I realize that everybody else in the world has written about this, but whatever. Clearly, this story’s not going away any time soon.
NBA basketball was really important to me as a kid, but as the Jordan era ended and I started getting into other things, I drifted away from the game. One of the…
Thanks to Derek for emailing & pointing us towards his post. It’s a good read, as...

The LeBron James Article ESPN Doesn't Want You To... →
sbnation:
If you were to meet someone that had never heard of LeBron James—surely an alien—and had to explain his existence with only one article, you could do no better than Arash Markazi’s latest profile for ESPN.com the article that just got pulled off ESPN.com for some unknown reason.
Anyway, some highlights from what was a fantastic profile. What’s LeBron like in a Las Vegas...

Raptors Prez & GM slams Chris Bosh →
From Ball Don’t Lie:
“Despite limited swelling and any excessive damage on an MRI, he [Bosh] felt like he needed to sit for six more games … I’m not even questioning Chris’ injury. I’m telling you he was cleared to play subject to tolerance on his part, and the tolerance just apparently wasn’t there and he chose not to play”

Shavlik Randolph's Real Reason For Joining the...
While most players joined the Heat in order to chase a championship, Shavlik Randolph may be chasing a more elusive goal: meeting Justin Timberlake. Here’s what happened in 2007:
76ers forward Shavlik Randolph was in D.C. for the game against the Wizards, so he left behind a No. 42 jersey, autographed: “Justin - I am a big fan - Shavlik Randolph 42.” An aide gave it to...

Mike Miller is the big pickup. He is a legit combo... →
Bob Ryan, with a condensed break down of Miami’s roster. Keep in mind that Bob Ryan has forgotten more about the NBA than most of us will ever know. Plus, he ends his quick column by making the point we must all remember: The title? The Lakers are still the champs, last I heard.
While the HEAT may have won the off-season title, the NBA only gives out one trophy. In June. The Lakers have...

While still working on that(I’ll have something posted on the topic soon), I stumbled upon some info about how Miller’s draft day fate was tied into one of the biggest trades in league...
