Saying he wants to honor those who have gone before him, Orlando Magic center Adonal Foyle announced today that he will no longer wear number 31 in memory of Portland Trail Blazers' legend player Sam Bowie. “When I think of Sam Bowie, I think of a guy like me – someone who was drafted high but never was able to fully demonstrate his gifts to the world,” Foyle told reporters in a Taco...

Fantastic discussions yesterday. Whether it was in the Downbeat , a can of tuna (where Vromanite's trade machine 'shop was on BDL) , or the beginning of the end , it was great to see everyone's opinions and discussion. Perhaps the best part was that it didn't regress into name calling, etc. We have an amazing group of posters, commenters, and lurkers. High quality stuff all around. This was brought...

Not much news, lots of talk about defense. Perhaps the most interesting thing I saw in my scan of media day reactions is that Jerome James is alive, and wants to play basketball . That's technically not good news, from and 'insured contract' standpoint. I'll give a proper write-up over the weekend, but in the meantime: Mike McGraw, Daily Herald Doug Thonus, ChicagoNow ("Everything is in place...

The five worst NBA free-agent signings of this decade. Notice the pattern? Eddy Curry to KNICKS In 2005, Chicago inked Curry to a six-year, $60-million deal, then sent him to N.Y. Curry missed all but three '08-09 games. Jerome James to Knicks

by Matt Moore Filed under: Spurs In the dog days of summer, every NBA team is filled with championship dreams. OK, that's a crock of Jerome James-flavored gumbo. Most teams are well aware that the only gold at the end of an NBA season's rainbow is named Jose. And I'm not talking about just the Clippers or Kings here. I'm also talking about the Hawks and Sixers and Hornets and Jazz. There are only a...

In a column today from espn.com Bill Simmons recaps the NBA offseason, which includes his take on the Magic: To Marcin Gortat, who parlayed one "little hit" (a solid playoff performance) into a $33 million deal that, if you're a Dallas fan, you should be happy isn't clogging up your cap right now. I liked Gortat heading into the summer as a great value risk in the "four years, $17.6...

There's much to yell and scream about when it comes to this interview with Reinsdorf (it really has to be read to be believed), but I just want to focus on one aspect of Jerry's astonishing self-regard. W/r/t the Ben Wallace signing, Jerry sez: Was Ben Wallace a mistake? Probably. What we didn't think about was Ben needs to play alongside somebody who can score a lot of points. But it's not the thought...

AP: The NBA salary cap has been set for next season at $57.7 million, a decline from 2008-09, allowing teams to begin signing players. The figure the league announced Tuesday night was about $1 million less than last season's cap of $58.68 million, even though league-wide revenue rose 2.5 percent. The number is expected to drop further next season when the full effect of the economic difficulties hit....
