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

  • 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.

  • 2012 NBA Free Agency – Los Angeles Lakers Get Steve Nash & Other Rumors
