It was just 10 years ago that two of the biggest names left in free agency were among the top 10 players in the league. Allen Iverson was leading Philly to playoff appearances while captivating audiences with his speed. T-Mac was chasing scoring titles and drawing comparisons to a young Elgin Baylor. Plenty has changed since then, but it never hurts to look back.
Chicago Bulls fans should be very excited about the potential moves their team is making. With the LeBron talk reaching heightened levels, Chicago is reportedly poised to move some key pieces in order to bring in two max contracts(LeBron and Wade/Bosh). The first move would send guard Kirk Hinrich along with the 17th pick in the draft to the Wizards. ESPN reported it’s not clear what the Wizards would send back in return, however one speculates expiring contracts and/or future picks would be in order.
According to the Chicago Daily Herald, The Bulls and Magic have explored the possiblity of sending Loul Deng to Orlando for Mickael Pietrus and Marcin Gortat. Deng would offer Orlando another viable offensive threat on the wing, though some feel if the Magic do make this move, Vince Carter could be on his way out.
Vince Carter’s former team is making some news as well. As we reported yesterday, the entire Nets roster is on the trading block, with exception to Brook Lopez. The Nets and Pacers have discussed the potential of trading Devin Harris to Indiana along with New Jersey’s 3rd pick overall, and the Nets would get All-Star Danny Granger in return. Personally, this deal could help both teams, as the Pacers get a solid young proven guard, and the chance to draft Derrick Favors 3rd overall. New Jersey, meanwhile, gets a proven frontline star, who may entice other free agents to come and play with him (i.e Joe Johnson, Carlos Boozer, LeBron James).
The NBA Playoffs start in one week, and we are still not certain who will be playing. Just a few days ago, it was a foregone conclusion that Boston would be meeting the Los Angeles in a rematch of the 2008 NBA Finals. Well, things have changed. Orlando has won two consecutive games, and head [...]
Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals could be seen as the biggest game of Vince Carter’s career. For those that have forgot, it was just a few days ago, with the Magic down 3 late in the 4th quarter at home, Vince had a chance to cut Boston’s lead down to 1. Well, that [...]
Who saw this one coming? A team that had steamrolled through the first two rounds of the NBA Playoffs, not losing a game or breaking a sweat in the process of the 8 game winning streak, now on the brink of elimination. The Magic had chances to win both Game 1 and 2 of the [...]
The Boston Celtics were left for dead much of this year. As the Cavaliers, Magic, and even Hawks garnered more front page stories by the mainstream, the veteran group in Boston quietly were preparing themselves to sneak up on everyone in May. Through an impressive first two rounds of the NBA Playoffs, and a statement [...]
