After seeing insult added to the Nets lousy season I think its time to do away with the NBA Draft Lottery. The Nets were only able to muster 12 wins last season and now instead of having the number 1 pick like they would in any other sport they now get the 3rd pick in the draft. This is just out of reach of both premier players John Wall and Evan Turner. This happens all to often[...]

Either you’re in or you’re out.* The 2010 NBA Draft class is set in stone.* Saturday night was the deadline for underclassmen to withdraw their name and decide to return to school if they had not hired an agent.* 25 of the 80 players who originally declared chose to pull their names out of the [...]

We’re nearly a fifth of the way through the season and have a pretty good idea of who the best teams in the league (although not that good of an idea, as no team really wants to hold of the season). We also have a fairly good idea who the truly pathetic teams in the [...]

Every week The Sports Bank’s David Kay breaks down which players in college hoops are helping or hurting their NBA Draft stock. You can check out my complete 2010 Mock Draft and if you are as nerdy as I am, a 2011 Mock Draft as well.

Let me first start off by asking, how did we ever miss this photo? As much as we love all things David Kahn, a photo like this would’ve made our day, week, month, life. But better late than never, I guess. Ok, on to Kahn’s continued lust for Ricky Rubio. So with rumors swirling that [...]

Now that the dust has kinda settled from this year’s NBA draft, we can finally get into the debate of which decade has had the best #1 draft picks. Of course, some haven’t had the time to really make their case and we’re completely aware of this fact (so no need to bring it up), [...]

Another year, another NBA Draft choke full of hilarity. I’m not crazy about the Thabeet pick, but the Grizzlies have a young and interesting starting five. Thabeet, younger Gasol, Gay, Mayo and Conley. The Thunder also did a nice job of filling out its roster. It’ll throw out a lineup of Krstic, Green, Durant, Harden [...]

NBA Draft time is upon us once again. This is the time of year where franchise GM’s make their money or begin the firing process. Since the inception of the Draft Lottery in 1985, there have been some legendary picks, but also some head stratchers. Below I’ve listed 7 of the biggest bust in NBA [...]

Last week we heard the crazy rumor out of Phoenix that the Celtics were considering shipping Rajon Rondo and Ray Allen to acquire Amare Stoudamare, Leanardo Barbosa, and a lottery pick.

Most of us considered it to pure speculation. Rondo isn’t going anywhere unless Danny Ainge is absolutely overwhelmed with a offer he can’t refuse.

Not only that, but wouldn’t it make sense to hold onto a guy like Allen to give the big three another run at a championship? Apparently Ray Ray isn’t as safe as we may of thought.

After establishing that there would be no more athletes transferring straight from high school to the NBA, basketball analysts have now entertained the possibility of making players stay in college for a minimum of two to three years before they can actually declare themselves eligible for the NBA draft.
