I Was a Witness… to a Palace Coup
I believe that it is extremely rare to be able to truthfully claim that a single player, for all practical purposes, won or lost a game. Thursday night was one of those rare occasions. Lebron was scintillating in game five by any measure, but when compared to his teammates his performance was truly…

The Dream of Kobe
Well, Kobe Bryant has (rather oddly, really - I get complaining about the management, but demanding a trade? Really, Kobe? Really?) demanded a trade from the LA Lakers, thereby possibly turning this NBA offseason COMPLETELY upside down. So the question is - what NBA team has the best chance at…

How much has Curry developed?
The main storyline of the Knicks’ 2006/07 season was arguably the emergence of Eddy Curry. For the first time, Curry was emphasized by his team as go-to option #1A, receiving career highs in minutes per game and usage rate and responding with career highs in points and rebounds per game. At the…

Announcement: BlogABull draft party
Alright, I'm going through with this, even if it winds up with me either getting crank-called by PaxJax or stabbed by JoeJoe: The second annual BlogABull draft gettogether is on. I kid, last year was a lot of fun, and that was with fifteen or so people attending. Site readership has grown a…

Greg Oden in Seattle on Friday, Kevin Durant on Sunday
The Sonics are holding a 15-minute media availability with Greg Oden, who will meet with general manager Sam Presti on Friday, and then with Kevin Durant, who will be in Seattle for his meetings on Sunday. I don't expect a great deal more information to be gleaned from those two than was said in…

Or L. HEAD?
As a follow-up to the Lakers' pursuit of a veteran ball-handling guard, Luther Head's name appeared in the Houston Chronicle as a candidate to come to the Lakers in exchange for Brian Cook. This isn't a world-changing move, but it's definitely worth mentioning. The free-agent market to fill the…

Rumor: Jason Richardson + #18 Pick for Bucks' #6 Pick (Yi Jianlian)
The last year and a half of Troy Murphy's time with the Warriors he was in the trade rumors daily. It got to the point that we nicknamed him Troy "Trade Rumor" Murphy in our 2006-2007 Golden State Warriors preview for Dime magazine. I never thought I'd see the day, but it looks…

New Lakers shooting guard: G. CANYON?
One thing factual amid all the conjecture regarding Kobe Bryant that I can report is that the "K. BRYANT" nameplate still does sit in its slot under the Lakers' header on the big board that takes up almost a whole wall of Mitch Kupchak's office. It lists every NBA team's roster, and while sitting…

Sonics Restructure their Front Office

Standing Pax
TYI correctly jabs back at TrueHoop's one-liner regarding the 'wasting everyone's time' nature of a lesser offer for Kobe (specifically, John Jackson's take): The fact is, the Bulls do not need to make this trade. At all. They can stand pat with what they have, see if Kirk, Ben, Luol,…
