The New York Knicks had braced for the departure of Mike D’Antoni one way or the other after the team’s underwhelming displays this NBA season, and the coach took the dignified way out, by tendering his resignation before the game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Mike Woodson, who joined the franchise just this offseason as [...]

Things definitely haven’t worked out for Carmelo Anthony thus far. The Knicks haven’t exactly been world beaters since he arrived, he’s had to admit that he’s struggling with the Linification of the offense, and now we get word that management isn’t listening to him when it comes to the team. All three of these issues presumably trouble Anthony, [...]

Dwight Howard has accomplished a lot in his short career. He is a five-time All-Star, three-time Defensive Player of the Year, the starting center on the 2008 U.S. Olympic team, and has averaged a double-double in each of his first seven seasons. Even with all of his personal success one accomplishment still eludes him- winning an NBA Championship.[...]

Although Carmelo Anthony had two offseason surgeries, he is now feeling no pain because of them and is likely to come back better than ever. Amar’e Stoudemire and the rest of the New York Knicks are also looking to improve and advance further into the playoffs in the upcoming season. Being trounced by the Boston [...]

J.A. Adande of ESPN reports that Wilson Chandler has signed a one-year deal in China with the Zhejiang Golden Bulls of the Chinese Basketball Association. The terms of the deal beyond length aren’t known, though Adande reports that Chandler will be paid more than the $1.7 million reported in recent rumors but less than the $3.1 million Chandler would be eligible[...]

With two superstars in place and their first playoff berth in over a decade, there is finally a buzz infused back into the Madison Square Garden crowd again. Finally some hope, after fans constantly watched their team get annihilated game after game during the Isiah Thomas years. Granted we still have the moronic James Dolan [...]

Kevin Durant, Kobe Bryant, Dwyane Wade, Dwight Howard, Carmelo Anthony—the list is extensive and it seems to be growing by the day. The list that I am referring to would be the list of players considering playing overseas during the NBA lockout.

Notice I said “considering” and not “definitively” playing overseas. While there is certainly a list of players [...]
