This is not the superstar the Nets need — or the guy that keeps Deron Williams with the team into Brooklyn — but it would be a nice step forward. Sportando out of Europe reports Andrei Kirilenko — currently playing well for CSKA Moscow — is close to a multi-year deal to join the New…

Deron Williams is going to be grumpy. D-Will is a very competitive player and he’s about to be on a team that is going to lose a lot of games. He’s not used to that (college Final Four, Olympic gold, won more than he lost in Utah). The Nets have been trying desperately to land…

The NBA is starting in a week, so it is time for my fantasy rankings for this season. I will have a top 30 list for each position. Today I look at the point guards.
1. Derrick Rose (Chicago) – Rose is by far the best point guard, thanks to his ability to score the ball. He is coming off a season where he averaged 25 ppg and 7.7 assits pg. He also averaged 4 rebounds pg...
