Suns retro jerseys should be their permanent jerseys

Last night the Phoenix Suns spoiled Steve Nash's return to the place he called home for the better part of the last decade by storming back behind the crazy hair and shot making of Michael Beasley.

With Gay traded, is Josh Smith next domino to fall?

The first domino before the February 21 trade deadline fell Wednesday when the Grizzlies traded Rudy Gay to the Raptors for Jose Calderon and Ed Davis and then sent Calderon to the Pistons for Tayshaun Prince and Austin Daye. It was not quite the deal everyone expected for Gay, but it was not totally unexpected that Gay would get moved. Memphis is desperate to get under the tax...

Beauty in the Beasley

By Erik Ong @FantasyHoopla While it is hard to lose the sour taste left behind by the “Dwightmares” and “Melo-dramas” of recent history, I find it to be a good NBA palate cleanser to find something positive to cheer about in often times the most obscure situations.
