(Previously: Atlanta, Boston , Charlotte , Chicago , Cleveland , Dallas , Denver, Detroit , Golden State , Houston, Indiana, LA Clippers, LA Lakers ). The season is still not here, but most of the rosters are set, barring the requisite Michael Jordan comeback rumor (just kidding, but only a little). We have an idea where our team stands, but we can't really know unless we discuss everyone else. In...

This might be my favorite sports story in years: The Toronto Raptors' Chris Bosh was bummed that some jerkass cybersquatters reserved the domain name chrisbosh.com before he could purchase it. Instead of getting some alternate name—chrisbosh.geocities.com—or prying open his wallet and buying it from the squatters, Bosh sued. And won. And won. And won... CHICAGO, October 14, 2009 —...

Mike fills out a jersey. View full size photo uploaded October 10, 2009 My first thought upon hearing that Michael Sweetney was invited to camp was "why?" Actually, my very first thought was "hey, didn't he eat himself out of the league?" Then I wondered if we had room for him on the roster. Honestly, I could throw in about 15 different fat jokes right there, but that would be far...

More photos » by Tony Gutierrez - AP Quinton Ross, sitting between his new, slightly higher profile, teammates. Browse more photos » Let me start by saying that this list won't be comprehensive. I saw Dan Dickau 's name in a Suns ' box score, wanted to mention it, and then decided I should expand it to talk about other guys that are out there. But NBA careers can be long, and the Clippers...

As Ben foreshadowed in his piece below, in response to a training camp conversation we're going to update the Blazers' salary cap status and possibilities today. This is not to infer that a trade is any more or less likely than it was yesterday. But trading remains a possibility as the season starts so we want to cover it. As always in these matters we are indebted to our friend Storyteller and his...

by Tom Ziller Filed under: Grizzlies During the NBA's slow days of summer, Mirror Mirror examines the connections between hoops stars and similarly-named figures of historical note. On the surface, little binds Miles Davis, a phenomenal musician who made an indeliable mark on American music by revolutionizing (and some would say perfecting ) jazz, and Darius Miles , the eternal character in th question...

Orlando Magic forward Rashard Lewis has been suspended for violating the NBA's policy banning performance enhancing drugs. Three immediate reactions: Heinous Excuse For no good reason, I'm inclined to believe Rashard Lewis when he says his use of DHEA was unintentional, and that he had no idea it was part of an over-the-counter supplement. However: How many athletes have used that excuse? At this...

I've got to be honest - of all the possibile candidates in the NBA to be caught with excess testosterone in their blood, Rashard Lewis might have ranked at the bottom. Right next to Luke Ridnour or Darius Miles. I mean, come on, the guy's thinner than the premise of a Rick Reilly column, for crying out loud! But, there you go, according to ESPN, Lewis will be suspended for 10 games at the start of...

The Downbeat - 14 July - The Revenge of the Jazz Edition Is this the Blazers edge? From Aldridges article: "The spreading of that rumor has led more than one team to repeat the charge, often heard around the NBA, that potential "deals" that involve the Blazers -- and, pointedly, always seem to favor the Blazers -- are conveniently leaked at optimum times." Ask Darius Miles about...

The poor Trailblazers. They spent all those years in the wake of the '92 Finals famous as the "Jailblazers." They finally clean out the front office, and get rid of all those terrible players with awful off-the-court records, and for what? So they can become the Portland Ail-Blazers? I mean, first this , and now this . And all this after years of languishing thanks to trades for people like...

According to Jason Quick, Martell Webster has decided to grab the number 23 from the hall of shame and make it a proud jersey again. 23 was his high school number, but he couldn't wear it due to Darius Miles having possession of it. We definitely don't mind Martell having the swagger that comes along with MJ's number. Let's hope Webster has an injury free season and gets back to where he belongs in...

One of the remaining big chips in NBA free-agency is off the board now that Rasheed Wallace has committed to signing with the Boston Celtics. ‘Sheed is expected to sign a two-year deal for the mid-level exception on July 8. The move puts the Celtics back on top as the Eastern Conference favorite. Assuming Kevin Garnett [...] Related posts: Video: Darius Miles Does The Double Fisted Head Bump...
