The ‘David Kahn’ Era
When Minnesota Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor named David Kahn the president of basketball operations, he expected to have a playoff-contending team by now. Instead, in his four years on the job he has made more trades than times Dwight Howard has changed his mind about being traded, drafted more point guards than an apartment complex could support, and traded away more draft … [Read more...] about The ‘David Kahn’ Era

Team USA down Argentina, faces Spain in final tune-up
From the opening-tip it looked like we were in for a blow-out. Team USA got off to a hot start, opening the game on a 14-1 run thanks to Kevin Durant draining threes like they were free-throws. Of course, the scrappiness of the Argentines kept them in the game until the final buzzer. … [Read more...] about Team USA down Argentina, faces Spain in final tune-up
NBA Draft: Don’t draft No Orange “Heeled” Fighting Illini

NBA Playoffs: Kevin Durant is a “closer”
I have said this many times and will continue to say it until people realize it: Kevin Durant is the best BASKETBALL player on this planet. Not only is he 6'10, long, and lanky, but he can score, rebound, take over and close games. There is a big difference between him and 3-time MVP LeBron James: Durant lives in the gym. There is no denying James' talent, but I am taking a … [Read more...] about NBA Playoffs: Kevin Durant is a “closer”
NBA Playoffs: Refs giving Miami ‘stars’ all (well most) of the calls
I don't like to put anything on anyone or anything in particular, especially if that any one or thing has no business in deciding the outcome of a basketball game, but I think now everyone has the right to speculate on what is really going on between the Miami Heat and Boston Celtics. … [Read more...] about NBA Playoffs: Refs giving Miami ‘stars’ all (well most) of the calls
NBA Playoffs: May the toughest team win
There has been nothing pretty about the series between the Philadelphia 76ers and Boston Celtics. The past few games have been rather rough to watch. Both teams have scored less than 20 points in a quarter in 17 times so far in this series. And we are going to a Game 7, back in Boston on Friday night. This series has been trademarked by great (and I mean great) defense and … [Read more...] about NBA Playoffs: May the toughest team win
Shaquille O’Neal: The Future GM of the Orlando Magic?
It's interesting how things work. Everything seems to come full-circle more times than not. Shaquille O'Neal was drafted by the Orlando Magic way back in 1992.

Now, it's reported that he might have an interview for the GM job of the Magic. … [Read more...] about Shaquille O’Neal: The Future GM of the Orlando Magic?
Will the Lakers trade Andrew Bynum?
One thing is clear: the Lakers need to shakeup their roster and GM Mitch Kupchak noted that today. After getting bounced in the second round of the playoffs for the second year in a row, the Lakers are looking for answers. They tried to acquire Chris Paul but the league denied it. They were "shopping" Andrew Bynum, but only for Dwight Howard. They ended up keeping Bynum and he … [Read more...] about Will the Lakers trade Andrew Bynum?
