Greg Oden to the Miami Heat in 2013

Even if the Heat find a way to win the NBA title with Joel Anthony as their starting center, they should be looking to add a veteran to take that position over in the near future. Anthony is a great hustle guy but should he really be starting for an NBA team? I’ll let you be the judge of that.

Either way, Pat Riley is going to have a decision to make soon because free agent big man and former #1 overall pick Greg Oden is interested in taking his talents… Continue reading

Lebron James Wins 2012 NBA MVP

Yes, his hairline is fading. Yes, he left Cleveland and threw what looked like a Jurmaine Dupri after party the minute he hit South Beach. Yes, Dirk took the soul of the “big three” last year in the NBA Finals.

All of that is true and what else is true is Lebron James is currently the NBA’s reigning MVP, awarded today. A lot of pressure is on Lebron as he is currently the only player to win three MVP awards and zero championship rings. (Read Robert Littals piece on why Lebron must win championships to secure his legacy)

I believe Miami will get it done and end all of the “ringless King” jokes this season. If not, changes will be made in Miami. I don’t know if that means trading someone, but changes would be made.

Paul Silas Out as Bobcats Coach

MJ and Cho have their work cut out for them. After the worst season in NBA history, the Charlotte Bobcats have decided to let head coach Paul Silas go in what was not a surprising move at all.

Don’t look for Larry Brown to save the day Bobcats fans. He just took a college job. If anyone is in the running you have to think it includes Mike D’Antoni and Nate McMillian for now. We will see what happens.

Hopefully the Bobcats win the lottery, draft Anthony Davis, get a good coach and turn the corner… otherwise they might as well contract this team. Continue reading

Finally the NBA has a new owner in the league. The New Orleans Hornets have been sold to the owner of the Saints Tom Benson, pending all sorts of league approvals of course.

Benson is going through some issues with the Saints, so for his management group to have to take on the Hornets is going to be tough but I think this is good for the NBA. The people of New Orleans deserve to have a team, and hopefully Continue reading
