Nash to the Timberwolves? Makes Sense For Both Teams
On paper, Steve Nash to the Timberwolves seems like it would never work. Especially if the main trade chip being sent to Phoenix is Jonny Flynn. That trade seems less likely than coach Eric Taylor and Vince Howard’s dad becoming friends. (Yes, I’m watching the NBC version like it’s in real time.) I would argue Nash to the Timberwolves makes great sense for both the Suns … [Read more...] about Nash to the Timberwolves? Makes Sense For Both Teams

Kemba Walker Is A Perfect Fit For The Minnesota Timberwolves
If I had one wish for the 2011-12 Minnesota Timberwolves it would be to have University of Connecticut’s Kemba Walker wearing the Blue and Black of the Timberwolves. While ESPN’s Chad Ford currently has Walker sitting 10th in his newest top 100 NBA draft prospects, I believe his talent is second to none in this class. While I may be slightly biased as my Kemboner has … [Read more...] about Kemba Walker Is A Perfect Fit For The Minnesota Timberwolves
Carmelo Anthony FINALLY Traded to Knicks
The first NBA trade deadline domino fell late Monday evening when Carmelo Anthony was finally dealt to the Knicks in a three-team trade involving twelve players. Thank goodness because I was getting LeBron-Decision-like sick of all the rumors, reports, and speculation flooding ESPN's airwaves. After weighing his options of the Knicks, Nets, or possibly staying with the … [Read more...] about Carmelo Anthony FINALLY Traded to Knicks

In this new feature, Peter and David will play the role of NBA general … [Read more...] about NBA Trade Machine Challenge: Free Steve Nash from Phoenix
