According to a video posted on YouTube by Los Angeles-based reporter Elie Seckbach, Newble is signing with Aris BC in Greece.

The Lakers signed defensive stalwart Ira Newble to a 10 day contract. Newble takes the last of the Lakers 15 roster spots and because he was waived prior to March 1st, will be available for post season play. Newble is 33 years old and formerly of the University of Miami of Ohio. He was [...]

Cavs' starLeBron James has made it abundantly clear he wants to be a global icon. However, if becoming a global icon means trying to assist a teammate in pleading to the Chinese government to end an armed conflict in Sudan at the risk of losing the mass production of his Nike shoes, LeBron apparently does not want to be a global icon.

Pregame: Just checked the starting lineups. Apparently this game is being played in 2005. Both Eric Snow and Ira Newble are starting. LeBron will need to step up. Unfortunately the Nuggets seem to be his cryptonite (Spelling? Is there a correct spelling for a make believe substance?). His career scor...

Paul Silas and Ira Newble on the death of Robert "Tractor" Traylor.

Quote:With Gasol, Ariza, Mihm and Bynum still out with injuries, this should help give the Lakers some depth until they all heal up.Anyway, here's the release from the Lakers:The Los Angeles Lakers have signed free agent forward Ira Newble to a 10-day contract, it was announced today by General Manag...

Please note that this post is not aimed to stir the pot as much as to get a gauge for what the consensus feeling is regarding LeBron James and his presidential campaign support. We all know that Michael Jordan refused to support one party or another, claiming that both parties by shoes. A cop-out, sure. But one that could have cost Jordan a few dollars in the Nike column. But...

Please answer this question. Who was that guy wearing the Ira Newble jersey last night? Slashing, hitting the boards, actually finishing strong? While I wish he would produce like this more often, given the injures to the Cavaliers this week, we needed a game like this out of him - and we [...]SHA...

First, I have to give a birthday shout out to my son Gaston. I love you son. I'm very proud of you. Doing what I do, you come across like minds in the field. Branson Wright is one of those good brothas who has a passion for his writing. He's shopping around the story of Dwight Anderson. This ...

This trip to the finals is a long time coming for suffering Cavs fans who went through numerous iterations of bad teams. Take the trip with me as I recap the bad times just so we can appreciate the good ones in Cleveland.

Maybe I overstate the negatives, but I can't help but feel like this team would do better with someone who was a complete master of the game. At this rate and with the numbered problems above, I still view Mike Brown as a defensive specialist who hasn't figured out his weaknesses and how, as leader of the team in the East with arguably the most talented player in the NBA, to overcome...

The impaired Cavs take on the Hawks and score a big win.

Ben Wallace, Chris Duhon and Joe Smith to Cleveland for Drew Gooden, Donyell Marshall, Ira Newble, Shannon Brown, Devin Brown and Cederic Simmons … unless Ilgauskas is in this deal.

Rubber men and crying fans.

Miami's Charlie Coles has developed some of the best MAC posts ever. Those talents include the All-MAC forwards and centers Wally Szczerbiak (NBA), 3 time 1st team All-MAC Devin Davis (Spain), Ira Newble (NBA), Alex Shorts, Nathan Peavy (Puerto Rico), Danny Horace (France), Juby Johnson (Croatia), and 2009 MAC Player of the Year Michael Bramos (Greece). Will Tadlock be the next great MU post?

Watching the game with my dog from now on.

A huge trade has been agreed on involving the Cavaliers, Bulls and Sonics. Ben Wallace, Wally Szczerbiak, Drew Gooden, Larry Hughes, and Joe Smith are just some of the big names who have been involved. Check it out on The NBA Source.

Following the release of the pictures from Kobe Bryant's(notes) all-white everything photo shoot — and in particular, his urban pilgrim look — we had to ask an important question: where do these photos rank on the list of most bloggable photos of the Internet age?

Cleveland GM Danny Ferry finally pulled off a deal to try to appease star Lebron James before the 3 PM deadline, brokering a 3-way deal with Central Division foe Chicago and the Seattle SuperSonics.

Ben Wallace better off now? A breakdown of the trade of the day in the NBA.

You knew your guy Biff wouldn't leave you hanging after such a huge Cavs win.  Here he is, former dominator of the Plain Dealer message boards and editor of Cry Me a Cuyahoga River, now special to Cleveland Frowns: Lebron’s line last night:  37 points on 13-25 from the field, 9 assists, 5 boards, two steals, and a block.  He was, as he always is, unreal...
