The Mavericks reportedly were willing to offer forward Brandon Bass and guard Jerry Stackhouse for Artest. The Kings wanted Josh Howard included in the deal and this seemed to halt all discussion between the 2 teams. Unless the Mavs are willing to give up Howard or the Kings get desperate (not   more...

Over the next five weeks, I will go position by position and rank the top 30 players by total value. The NBA is a business, so it doesn't make sense to purely rank the players only by their talent or stats, or by some other qualitative measure (though those factors do matter).

So. Is there any reason to believe in this team (outside of the local impulse to scream about how awesome it is that the Raps are in the playoffs again) will make a mark beyond a trace come this weekend? It seems sour. Bittersweet I guess, but outside of the so-so play in November and December, we   more...

Game 4 of the Orlando-Pistons series is tonight, but most likely the Pistons will be without starting PG Chauncey Billups after he did the splits in Game 3 and hurt his hamstring. He seems to think that even when not at 100% he's better than Rodney Stuckey, and I guess I can't argue with that   more...

...despite doing everything we could to hand Detroit tonight's game (with a huge assist coming from the guys in gray), our vets held on and walked off the court one win away from reaching the Finals. If I was Doc I would hammer that home to our guys every second from now until Game 6 tipoff. One   more...
