Will Amir Johnson be worth it?
My latest on HOOPSWORLD is up: In 22 games with Sioux Falls, Johnson scored 18.9 points on 62.3% shooting while averaging 9.7 boards and 3.1 blocks. Even if the average fan wasn’t noticing his numbers, he did catch the attention of general managers across the NBA. The Pistons didn’t have a…

Greg Oden is done for the season. I know he’s a Buckeye and as a Wolverine I’m supposed to hate him, but as an NBA fan this is just awful. I feel bad for everyone living in Portland right now.

Yet another chapter in this mythical quest
The Bulls currently have the maximum 15 players under contract, including three (Gray, Curry, Barrett) who, depending on the source, have zero, partial, or a fully guaranteed money. I assume Barrett's job is the most tenuous, as the Bulls are stocked at the midget position, and his summer…
