The NBA’s summer league is what it is
— a bunch of first-and-second-year players desperately clawing for
the last few spots on their team. Often, the effort is fruitless, and those players are sent back to the NBDL or to Europe to make ...

As we wrote on Saturday , Pacers coach
Jim O'Brien considers Earl Calloway an NBA-level point guard.
His play in the Pacers' first summer league game didn't do anything to hurt that notion. The former Indiana University point guard scored a ...
This is not a happy post. Why? Because
it has a photo from the Orlando Summer League,
where Oklahoma City's NBA team played against the Indiana Pacers with not a Sonics jersey in sight. That's why. Geez, Sonics (or should I say, Bandits ?). Talk about ...

Well, he's a good guy for coming down
there and all, but in my opinion all he's
doing is stealing playing time from other potential prospects.
The team-formerly-known-as-the-Sonics took the court today against the
Indiana Pacers in the Orlando Pro Summer League. The
Oklahoma City team wore generic jerseys, however, it was a stark contrast from the old green and gold garb of the Sonics. ...

I have a confession to make. I have
an addiction. It took an intervention of sorts, but
I am willing to admit it: I am addicted to the NBA. Even when it's boring. Even when it's corrupt. Even when my team sucks. Even though I'm in the wrong ...

I just wanted to do a small post
about the NBA Draft, since I think I did
quite well overall in doing my picks. I hit the first five in a row, which being honest the top two were almost written in stone, but the other three, especially the two UCLA Bruins were a bit of a surprise to many.
Lots of interesting talk lately. I had a
few minutes with Steve and Scott and we went
over Russell Westbrook at #4. I cannot truthfully say that I am thrilled by the pick but personally I have come up with my rationalization. It starts with a basic ...

Love the SI cover. The story of KG
and Russell through the playoffs was top of the
line.
Bucking conventional wisdom, amid speculation that a trade
was forthcoming, Sam Presti, a defensive-minded general manager, selected
Russell Westbrook, a defensive-minded sophomore guard from UCLA, with the No. 4 pick.
The Seattle SuperSonics select Russell Westbrook No. 4
in the 2008 NBA Draft.
I couldn't help but notice the background image
read nothing of the city in which Russell Westbrook
may be playing his next two seasons. But there stood the fourth overall pick of the Seattle SuperSonics in this year's NBA draft, shaking hands with the hated David Stern, mere minutes after the city of Seattle and the Sonics wrapped up final arguments in their federal court lease dispute case.
That's the pick. Here's the bio from nbadraft.net
. He's a big-time transition player, and now he's
a Sonic. Reasons to be excited: - Westbrook is tenacious, fast, and a good defender. He can guard any PG, and most SGs. He can get in the lane and ...
