1. Andre Iguodala, Sixers: Iguodala's decision to turn down a $57 million deal last summer is tough to justify. At the time, the Sixers appeared to be the only team with significant cap room; I'm not sure where he thought his next paycheck would come from. He had a great regular season, but a   more...

Baron Davis pulled a surprising move yesterday opting out of his contract. I'm not sure how you walk away from a $17.8 million payday. He must be concerned that his body may not hold up next year so he's looking for the multi-year deal sooner rather than later. Talks stalled with Golden State so   more...

Just got my copy of NBA Live 08' today. And to be honest, the game play is still similar to how it was in past NBA Live editions (So what was Shawn Marion and Co. so excited about?) with the exception of the power hop (which they brought back) and player "hot spots" (which are areas in the   more...

Chris Paul is for real. He lead the New Orleans Hornets from no playoffs the year before to the 2 spot in the highly competitive West. He's extremely dangerous to other teams when it comes to decison making. From pulling up for a jumper, to driving in the lane to dishing it back out to an open   more...

Rumours, rumours and more rumours. :)According to CBS Sports Toronto has apparently enquired about Hamilton, but could the Pistons be asking too much? Talk is Detroit not interested in Ford, but Jose instead.Could Colangelo be so bold?

The TJ Ford - Jermaine O'Neal deal should benefit both teams for various reasons. Jose Calderon finally gets the point guard spot to himself while Andrea Bargnani will get sent to the bench.

The Toronto Raptors are supposedly shopping T.J. Ford given Jose Calderon's emergence as the starting point guard in 2008. Ford is still just 25 years-old, and his 12.1 ppg and 6.1 apg suggest that he's got plenty to offer.Down in the States, the Golden State Warriors have a point guard conundrum   more...

Well its finally official. Croatia's own Roko Ukic who was drafted 41st in the 2nd round back in 2005 will be making his Raptor debut this fall. As expected he'll be taking over the role as back-up to Jose as well some playing time at SG.So, how long before the Jose vs. Roko debate's start? lol

The reports of the impending trade were too much to resist. A fantasy breakdown of the "done deal" I have been hearing about all day.

The Toronto Raptors' excellent young point guard Jose Calderon, who is a restricted free agent, is making big waves as he has basically told the Raptors that if they don't promise him the starting PG spot, to not even bother trying to bring him back.
