Is the NBA Draft Broken?
With the dust of the 2007 NBA lottery beginning to settle, two lines of complaint are fresh in the media and fans’ collective consciousness: 1. Something is wrong with the draft because it encourages tanking. 2. Something is wrong with the draft because the top picks do not always go to the worst…

The NBA Season is Over
With last night's Phoenix Suns' loss in a series that was arguably decided by some silly rules by the commish and crew, the NBA season is officially over. I feel bad for the Suns' fans and NBA Nation as a whole. I do believe that the Spurs are the best team in the NBA right now…

Tayshaun Prince is the Witness Protection Program

Q & A with Lenny Wilkens
Lenny granted reporters 10 minutes apiece after the Sonics got the second pick in the lottery. He has not spoken since he April 26, when he named himself president on KJR. There was a lot to cover, and at times the interview became I would say strained. Read for yourself and make your own judgments…

Battle plan
So now we know that the Bulls are picking #9. Not the most coveted position, but a spot with some value. However it seems like more of a value to a bad team. I still think the pick should be packaged in a trade, and that's not only out of laziness in terms of 'scouting' draft prospects, heh.…

Kicked in the lottery balls
So the Portland Trailblazers won the Greg Oden sweepstakes and fans in Boston, Memphis and Phoenix all looked on in disappointment. Atlanta got the three pick and Memphis and Boston fell to 4 and 5 respectively. The Suns won't get the Hawks lottery pick but on the bright side it will be unprotected…
