While you’re attempting to analyze the mid-career insanity of the All-New Stephon Marbury, realize this: every team in the NBA is trying to get their hands on Seattle free agent power forward Rashard Lewis.
He’s an unrestricted free agent, which means he can go anywhere he wants. Of course, only a few teams (ORL, CHA, someone […]

UPDATE: Kobe has officially asked for a trade…wow.
The Lakers are a complete mess at the moment, but as of this morning, there’s a little more to it than that.
For some reason, three years later, Shaq and Kobe have moved to the forefront of the situation in Los Angeles. At least for us.
If you haven’t […]

Continuing our surprising non-coverage of the NBA Playoffs, let’s move to Seattle, where apparently there was some meeting lasterday wherein new owner Clay Bennett finally admitted he’s likely to move the SuperSonics somewhere else asap.
The real shocker isn’t the admission, but rather the place cowboy is looking to move, ie Las Vegas, and not Oklahoma […]

The Cavaliers fifth straight win. Udonis Haslem giving the Heat their sixth straight victoire on a last second shot.
A mysteriously late-to-shootaround Kwame Brown…who had a birthday (and a cake?) of his own, which didn’t help the Lakers avoid complete destruction at the hands of the Mavs.
These are all things that are worthy of attention this […]

The whole “what is the new ownership of the Seattle Sonics gonna do” thing is finally beginning to move forward, with rootin-tootin owner Clay Bennet unveiling his fake arena plans, which he’ll use to continue to pretend he wants the team to remain in Washington State.
It’s all very numbery and confusing, but basically the state […]

While we moan about, cry over, and protest the Cavaliers, we can’t help but think perhaps we over-react - maybe LeBron really is just waiting until March to turn things on.
(That’s still unforgivable, but we don’t hold grudges - if that’s the case, we’ll roll with it.)
Anyway, what cause this thought was the notice […]

There’s a war brewing in Dallas, friends.
No, it’s not between the Mavs and Spurs, the latter of whom beat the former last night.
The war we’re speaking of is between Mavs owner Mark Cuban and NBA Commish David Stern.
(Background: Cuban is “energetic” and counter to the typical owner, both on and off the court. Stern […]

Last night was fun and all, but tonight, with a complete 13-game schedule, the NBA is really set to thunder forward into action.
Many a thing to watch, and perhaps one of the most interesting ongoing stories will be everything and anything happening with the Seattle Sonics.
Quick recap - there’s a new ownership group made […]

While the Knicks and Seventy-Sixers play it out on NBATV and our sister PMS’s out over a lack of almonds in her Wendy’s salad, we’re left to cower in our bedroom and be horrified by pictures from the press conference announcing the official approval of the new Oklahoma City based Seattle Sonics ownership group.

ESPN’s Chris […]

While browsing SacTown Royalty, we were struck by the title of this post:
New Arena = Officially Dead
No, not because of the startling proficiency with which TZ combined English and Math, but by the words themselves.
The linkage goes through to an article in the Sacramento Bee about the city’s push for a new arena for the […]
