In what many saw as inevitable, the Memphis Grizzlies were finally able to locate a trading partner — in this case, two teams — to dump Rudy Gay and his bloated contract on, by sending him to the Toronto Raptors for Ed Davis, as well as receiving Tayshaun Prince and Austin Daye from the Detroit […]

Keep This One in Your Back Pocket, Frank
Earlier this month, the Indiana Pacers rewarded head coach Frank Vogel with a contract extension. The Pacers have reached the playoffs each of the past two seasons under Vogel and look to be headed there once again in 2013. Indiana’s most prominent improvement has come on the defensive end, where they currently employ the league’s […]

Cavaliers take advantage of cost-cutting Grizzlies
The tax-weary Memphis Grizzlies were able to strike a deal with the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday, sending Marreese Speights, Wayne Ellington, Josh Selby and a future first-round pick to the Cavaliers in exchange for Jon Leuer, removing an impending luxury tax bill in the process. Memphis reportedly spent the past two months shopping Rudy Gay […]

Evaluating the Top 10 Draft Prospects
I released my first update of the Top 100 prospects for the 2013 NBA Draft on Monday. Like I hinted at in previous posts, there was a ton of movement up and down the board. We have a new number one and plenty of different faces residing in the top ten. In this post, we’ll […]

NBA Rookie Rankings: Part II
In the second edition of this year’s rookie rankings, most of the first-year players have at least 20 games under their belt.

Trending Prospects: Anthony Bennett, Marcus Smart, Alex Len
My second edition of this year’s Top 100 will be released during the first week of January and I can tell you now to expect a lot of movement. This 2013 class lacks a clear cut number one pick and that became obvious when I was putting together my current board back in October. There […]

How the draft has played a role in the Lakers’ struggles
After last night’s loss to the New York Knicks, the Los Angeles Lakers have stooped to 9-14 on the season with four of those losses coming in their last four games. To make things even worse, the Lakers are 4-9 since Mike D’Antoni started roaming the sidelines as the team’s new head coach. We can’t […]

Scouting Notebook: James Michael McAdoo
I’ve been relatively down on James Michael McAdoo since he arrived at North Carolina last season compared to others. He’s currently sitting in 7th on ESPN.com and 10th over at Draft Express, while I gave him a preseason ranking of 13th, despite my projection system suggesting he should be lower than that. McAdoo was highly […]

NBA Rookie Rankings: Part I
I’ve decided ranking the top five rookies after every 12 to 15 games would be a useful feature for the site this season — plus it gives me another outlet to feed into my obsession for ranking things. There won’t be set dates on releases or anything as scouting the college game has obviously picked […]
