Rumor: Williams on Trade Block?
Early into the hours of the first day of December, Alex Kennedy of Hoops World (a website associated with The Big Lead) tweeted that Lou Williams could possibly be on his way out of Philadelphia.

Nocioni: “I Play Because It’s My Job”
Philadelphia fans love a hardworking, blue-collared player. They also respect the players that give it their all on every play.
When a player just “goes through the motions,” it’s considered a slap in the face to not only the team, but to the fans.

As I mentioned in a...

Andres Nocioni Says Playing in the NBA is Nothing More Than a Job to Him

Nocioni to be an Amnesty Clause Victim?
It hasn’t been in play since 2005, but the new CBA deal now contains something called an “amnesty clause.”
This clause gives the organization to waive one “bad contract” if it meets the requirements. Once the player is released, the salary of that player does not count against the cap, even though the organization is still required to pay the player the given amount of...

Over the course of the last decade or so, flopping has become an increasingly popular tactic on both the offensive and defense sides of the ball. In an important basketball game where every play counts, a few free throws or an offensive foul can be the difference between a win and a loss. Everyone looks for an edge, and flopping is just one way of grabbing one.
