Where is everybody going?

I really wish it was that simple. Well, starting tomorrow, things will start to get a little simpler as teams may begin discussing contracts with any free agent they wish. In this post, the goal will be to sort out the mess, attempting to clearly show where I think a lot of the big names will be going. Along the way, I’ll probably highlight some things I think others are overlooking.

The Teams who have the Money to Make Moves: Knicks ($34.5M), Nets ($30M), Bulls ($29.9M), Heat ($27.5M), …

Will Dirk Leave Big D? Wow. The free agent season just got a little crazier. Dirk Nowitzki, the all-time leading scorer and rebounder in German Dallas history has declined the last year of his contract (which was worth $21.5 million). Supposedly the President of the Mavericks, Donnie Nelson, is set to fly to Germany on Thursday when the madness begins. I wonder what Mark Cuban is thinking right now. This move clearly shows that Dirk wants to win a championship, because most players are going to take that $21.5 million all …

So we all know that come July, all of the free agent talk will be on LeBron, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, and Joe Johnson. As amazing as those players are, there are plenty of high value guys available in this years’ class.
Luis Scola (Forward/Houston Rockets): Scola is the type of guy that any team would want. He’s an undersized power forward who filled in, in a big way with the absence of Yao Ming this past season. He averaged 16.2 ppg and 8.6rpg. He’s 30 years old, but has only been …

Shout out to the Ref, who did a great job in analyzing the draft as it happened. But now that the dust has settled, it’s my turn to jump into the melee with some (possibly outrageous) thoughts on this years’ draft.
1. What in God’s name were the Portland TrailBlazers Thinking? Who fires their General Manager an hour before the draft??Removing a GM an hour before the draft is like punching a pregnant lady in the gut right before she’s about to give birth. In both scenarios, the future is screwed. …

I don’t know what is bigger news for tonight: The Ref making his illustrious return or the NBA Draft. I’ll let my followers decide upon themselves on that one. Anyway, this year’s draft is interesting to say the least. If there is one word that could paint a perfect picture for tonight is potential. Most of these players entering in the realm of the big times may have jumped the gun a bit, but no doubt have the God-given ability to make a difference a few …

The following mock draft is a collaboration from the writers of NBAtoday.net.  By no means are we real scouts, although some of us think we are (The Basher) and some of us wish we were (the entire staff). Our mock draft is based on what we think teams and at times I will look at another mock draft and throw a guy in there who I know nothing about just because I can.
2010 NBA Mock Draft:
1.  Wizards – John Wall, 6-4, 196 lb, PG, Kentucky – They’d be stupid not …

Manute Bol, the 7’7” Sudanese shot-blocking specialist, passed away yesterday due to complications from a severe kidney disease and a painful skin condition. Bol was unique in that he is one of the tallest players ever to wear a uniform. He played for the Philadelphia, Golden State, Miami, and Washington where he had career averages of 2.6 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 3.3 blocks. He led the NBA in blocks during the ’85-’86 season, and the ’88-’89 season.
Aside from his efforts on the basketball court, Bol was devoted to the humanitarian cause …
