    No matter where Dwight Howard ends up at the end of the 2012-2013 NBA season, he won’t be extending his contract. He’s going to let it run out and then explore free agency, with everyone knowing fully well he has no intention of staying with the Orlando Magic.

  • Brooklyn Nets – Presenting the Core Four

    In order to lure fans and get them excited about the Nets’ first season in Brooklyn, the franchise decided to take Deron Williams, Joe Johnson, Brook Lopez and Gerald Wallace and label them as the ‘Core Four’; Big X just doesn’t cut it anymore, and this isn’t exactly the most impressive bunch of superstars ever assembled.

  • Dwight Howard – The Best NBA Center; the NBA’s most Hated Player

    Instead of being a marquee franchise player you want to build around, Dwight Howard has lost every shred of credibility over the last 12 months and the whole saga of trade me – keep me with the Orlando Magic, who built a team around him and tore it apart and fired everyone above him and somehow, are worst off than where they were before.

  • NBA Free Agency 2012 – Dwight Howard Not Going to the Nets

    According to multiple NBA sources, the Orlando Magic and the Brooklyn Nets aren’t in business anymore, the business of Dwight Howard.

  • NBA Free Agency 2012 – Trading for Dwight Howard, Keeping Kevin Love

    Slowly but surely, the Brooklyn Nets are making moves that might, eventually, allow them to land Dwight Howard, although in order to get the Orlando Magic center they’ll need a third team to help them make the trade happen. For Kevin Love, playing on the Olympic team just makes him realize he’s missing out, big-time, on playoff basketball with the Minnesota Timberwolves.

  • The NBA’s New Direction – Super Teams

    Parity? There’s no parity in the NBA, despite the salary caps and luxury taxes. Steve Nash choosing to leave Phoenix and play for the Los Angeles Lakers was just another example of how: a) The Lakers know how to get players by giving up nothing and b) Players like going to the same teams.

  • Steve Nash Prefers Money to Championship Promises

    The overall perception of Steve Nash and the free agency period is that he’s willing to give up on a lot of money in order to win a title ring. Well, guess again. Nash is probably going to have to take a pay cut from the $11.7 million he made last season, but he’s not planning on making too much of a trim.

  • Armon Johnson Last to Score For Nets in New Jersey Era

    Armon Johnson scored the last points for the Nets in New Jersey before they head over to Brooklyn, towards a new era and a new stadium.
