I'm not liking the way these Lamar Odom talks have gone for the Lakers. After reaching an agreement on the yearly salary for Odom, talks fell apart over the length. LA wants to give three years; Odom wants five. Now comes word that owner Dr. Jerry Buss has pulled the offer from...

It is All-Star time again in baseball, where we get to take time out from our fantasy leagues, take a step back and check out the landscape and hear the gripes about the actual game.To be honest, I probably won't watch it. Not because I'm against it or anything, but it isn...

NBA teams have spent the last couple of years clearing up cap space for the summer of 2010. That year, some of the top players will be free agents and can go anywhere they want. It is what teams like the Knicks and Nets have been waiting for. Too bad it may not happen they way they...

If you've read this blog over the years, you'd know that I'm not one of those people who really think that Pistons GM Joe Dumars is one of the best in the business. He isn't. Sorry, but anyone who drafts Darko Milicic over Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh...
