  • 5 Most Profitable NBA Teams

    Last summer and fall was all about big markets, small markets and owners making a profit.

  • 13 NBA Point Guards Better Than Jeremy Lin

    The Houston Rockets, via their poison-pill contract, have ensured that Lin will be one of the highest paid players in the NBA in 2014-2015, earning just under $15 million that season. While financially Lin’s presence will probably pay-off the contract, he’s not that good.

  • Jeremy Lin Doesn’t Deserve the Respect he Thinks he’s Owed

    Do two months of pretty impressive basketball mean that any kind of criticism isn’t warranted? Jeremy Lin thinks he’ll always have doubters.

    The move of Jeremy Lin from the New York Knicks to the Houston Rockets presents an interesting case study of what NBA loyalty means; of what big-market teams and small-market, if you can call Houston a small one, teams are about; of how super-stardom doesn’t have anything to do with what happens on the floor.

    Although the main reason behind not re-signing Jeremy Lin, letting him leave as a restricted free agent to the Houston Rockets, looks like a financial, salary-cap kind of reason, there are those that suggest that it’s just another example of how un-proffesionaly the New York Knicks are run by their owner, James Dolan.

  • NBA Free Agency 2012 – Jeremy Lin Won’t Be Returning to the New York Knicks

    It’s not official until the deadline passes to match the offer from the Houston Rockets, but all the moves the New York Knicks are making indicate that Jeremy Lin will be playing somewhere else next season, proving to be too costly from a certain point in the next few seasons.

  • 2012 NBA Free Agency – Houston Rockets Going for Jeremy Lin & Trading Kyle Lowry

    Point guard roulette should be the title of the 2012 NBA Free Agency period so far, as Jeremy Lin is the latest big name to probably make a switch of teams, getting the offer he wanted from the Houston Rockets, which will be very hard for the New York Knicks to match due to the salary cap restrictions.

  • Houston Rockets – To Trade or not to Trade for Dwight Howard

    With all due respect to LeBron James, the biggest saga in terms of melodrama, lies, intrigue and what not has been Dwight Howard’s tumultuous season with the Orlando Magic. A season that might lead Howard to another home, maybe in Houston with the Rockets.

  • Grizzlies & Rockets Ruin Impressive Home Stands
