Former Laker puts Playa del Rey house on market

At one time, Allen Iverson was the most explosive player in the NBA. Now, he's having a hard time finding a team.The problem? A me-first attitude. Rather than seek a short-term, small money contract with a contending team, the 34-year old Iverson wants to go to a place where he can start and get paid. Enjoy Memphis.Now there are rumors the Heat are interested. Seems like a good fit...

Detroit Pistons’ GM Joe Dumars has named former Tar Heel John Kuester as the Pistons’ new head coach – the sixth new head man in the past ten years.Kuester replaces Michael Curry, who was fired on June 30 after going 39-43 in his first season and being swept by Cleveland in the first round of the playoffs.

Posted by Kevin Arnovitz Austin Daye has been playmaker extraordinaire for Detroit. On the Pistons' first possession Saturday, he whipped a sharp pass from the perimeter to Trent Plaisted underneath for an easy two. On his team's second sequence, he took his man straight off the dribble to the rack for a layup. A minute later, on a pop-out, Daye nails a silky 3-pointer. A few possessions...

Detroit Pistons President of Basketball Operations Joe Dumars announced today that the club has acquired a future second round draft choice from the Denver Nuggets in exchange for guard Arron Afflalo, forward Walter Sharpe and cash considerations.  The move clears approximately $1.8 million in additional salary cap space for the Pistons. Afflalo appeared in 74 games [...]

Sometimes it is rude to be so blunt, but this must be said John Kuester is on the clock. In a little more or less than two full NBA seasons it is very likely that he will no longer be the Head Coach of the Pistons.   To continue my frankness Kuester has been set up to fail as head coach of a team searching for a new direction. His set up is much like that of recently fired Pistons...

Free agent Allen Iverson is in 'very serious' negotiations with the Clippers on a contract, according to a story in the 'Los Angeles Times.'

Yesterday, we posted our stat projections for the 2009-2010 season.  Today, we look at those projections and give you a few names that our projections see breaking out this season. Who Will Breakout In 2009-10? Ed Davis:  This is a no brainer, right?  Davis played just 19 minutes per game last season, and similar players for Davis see a big jump in their sophomore seasons...

All eyes were on Blake Griffin yesterday, as he made his Vegas Summer League debut and pretty much lived up to every lofty expectation you could have put on him. Blake went for 27 points (11-15 FG) and 12 boards in 29 minutes, leading the Clippers to a win over the Lakers. He hit a [...]

Free agent guard Allen Iverson is said to be in heavy discussions about signing with the Clippers.

One of the biggest surprises to me this NBA off season has been Allen Iverson. To me the surprise is in how little interest there has been around the league for his services. The guy has immense talent and could provide a big boost to any borderline playoff team. He can [...]

According to reports, the Clippers are said to be heavily pursuing free-agent guard Allen Iverson, with talks being labeled as "serious." At first glance, this seems like a puzzling fit. However, his acquisition makes sense on a number of levels....

Marc Stein has the latest word on Allen Iverson, Lamar Odom and others.

It was sad and sobering to find out that the rumors of Joe D’s courtship of Ben Gordon were true. Reports suggesting Joe D’s interest had been around for a while but I—along with what I’m assuming were many dumbfounded Pistons fans—didn’t want to believe that such an inexplicable infatuation existed. Gordon is not versatile enough to merit such a large chunk of the payroll...

The image you see above is in fact, photoshopped, poorly, by me. But in a short while, that jersey may become available for purchase on the Clippers website. That's right folks, ESPN reported that the Clippers are "very serious" about signing Allen Iverson. LA, along with Memphis and Miami, is looking to add the former MVP and scoring champion. The Clippers and Memphis...
