Isiah and Ainge finally made some moves that help their teams. Hear me out before you start comment spamming me:
The Knicks moved Steve Francis and Channing Frye for Zach Randolph and a couple rejects. At first glance, it looks like Isiah may have mortgaged the future, for another head case; but if you look a bit closer, you will see he made the right decision. Continue Reading

Not surprisingly, the Toronto media is inept at reporting any developments on the trade front (speculation or otherwise). Leave it to the fellas in New York to keep us up to date on what Colangelo is up too. It has been interesting to read all the trade scenarios the Raptors threw their hats in the ring for over the last year. The latest one being sending last year’s number one pick to Seatle for Ray Allen. This is the second time we could have brought Jesus to the Raptors (the first being trading Carter for him straight up during the Babcock era).

When you think basketball, you think Hip Hop, beer, pizza, wings, annoying Knicks fans…who the heir apparent to Jordan will be. You never think of overpriced coffee and cakes. This may be a stretch, but is it possible that Chuck Swirsky is sponsored by Starbucks? Think about it, how many times have you heard him preach the praises of some Starbucks product; most recently todays post which mentions some sort of lemon green tea beverage. I really don’t have a problem with this, hell, I would start dropping names on the regular if someone decided to pay me for my words. I just felt it necessary to spill the beans. I don’t like people thinking they are getting away with something. Continue Reading
