Rick has written extensively about the benefits of players' associations retaining the capacity to negotiate contracts on behalf of individual players--meaning that players use the players' association, instead of an agent or agency, to negotiate employment contracts with teams.

Having gone through the rosters and payrolls of every team in the league, I don't envy Jazz general manager Kevin O'Connor should he try to trade Carlos Boozer and avoid a lame-duck season with the two-time All-Star forward.

It's good when the Raptors sign a player whom MLSE executives might have heard of. Adding Hedo Türkoğlu and spending right to the NBA's salary cap is a huge dice-throw by Raptors GM Bryan Colangelo . It is also an easy sell. Türkoğlu comes wearing the mantle of having been a NBA all-star and having just helped the Orlando Magic throw a wrench into David Stern 's vision of a LeBron...

That’s when the Cavs star will meet assistant coach Chris Jent at the team’s practice facility in Independence. “LeBron is driven to win a championship,” said Jent. “Most people have no idea how hard [...]

Just as I thought. Otis Smith is planning to squander this opportunity to improve the team and fill out the roster with scrubs.Posted by: "Smith said that any notion of the Magic executing a sign-and-trade with the Raptors involving Turkoglu --- who opted out of his six-year contract with the Magic --- were “way off base.” Why is that, are you the only GM that does that with an unrestricted...
