  Anthony Randolph: Why He Never Had a Chance with Mike D’Antoni’s New York Knicks Anthony Randolph, Carmelo Anthony, Kevin Love, LeBron James, Mike D'antoni, NBA, NBA Atlantic, New York Knicks, Opinion | Comments Off

  Since Anthony Randolph was drafted by the Golden State Warriors in 2008, he has been viewed as a player with tantalizing potential, tremendous length and a rare set of tools that were likely to translate well to the NBA level. However, this was not the case as he struggled to receive consistent playing time under Don Nelson up until he was sent to New York along with Ronny Turiaf and Kelenna Azubuike in exchange for David Lee. When he landed in the Big Apple, many believed this would be a renaissance for the enigmatic Randolph. Playing in an up-tempo system (much like the one he played for under ...

  Each NBA season starts with hope. Hope that tries to avoid reality as long as possible. When that reality settles in and shatters dreams, questions and theories soon follow. Typically, that is all a team is left with at the end of the season. With a lockout on the horizon for the NBA, a league struggling financially for several years, many teams made desperate moves this year with an eye on the future. Public image is usually a key ingredient geared towards these transactions, though that does not always equate into a victory. Several of the best players in NBA history are ...

  Kevin Love Goes for 31 and 31, Beasley Adds 35 Points, Wolves Win Darko Milicic, Kevin Love, Michael Beasley | Comments Off

  by Jordan SchultzFiled under: Knicks, TimberwolvesKevin Love is known to be a constant double-double threat, but tonight, well, he had himself an extra special double-double. The second-year pro out of UCLA scored 31 points, but more impressively, pulled down a franchise-record 31 rebounds. No, that is not a typo. Love's 30-30 game is the first to happen in the NBA since Moses Malone did it in 1982. Minnesota, down 21 points to the Knicks at one point in the third quarter, rallied behind Love to win in surprising fashion, 112-103 at the Target Center. Love's frontcourt mate and fellow reserve, Michael Beasley, ...

  by Sam AmickFiled under: Bulls, Clippers, Hornets, Knicks, Nets, Nuggets, Rockets, Timberwolves, Warriors, NBA RumorsTo steal a headline from our friends at SI.com, talk about a 'Melo-Drama.' There was hardly a breather between LeBron James' "Decision" and the saga that surrounds disgruntled Denver star Carmelo Anthony. Yet after months of speculation about the level of his discontent, it has finally been established that the Nuggets are listening to offers for the three-time, All-Star small forward after he has left their three-year, $65 million extension offer unsigned for months. This is no free-agent process. It's a potential trade that comes with a long ...

But first, Oscar Robertson speaks truth on LeBron James. The Great Cynic: The ranks of basketball royalty haven't been universally opposed to the Miami Three -- it's just seemed like it. Legendary former Georgetown coach John Thompson spoke highly of LeBron James' decision to join the Heat, and even Isiah Thomas -- a not-so-undercover Knicks operative -- appreciated ...

  According to an ESPN report, Carmelo Anthony isn’t the only Denver Nugget on the way out. Apparently the Nuggets have had enough of the extremely talented, as well as volatile, J.R. Smith.The 24 year old is in the final year of a deal set to pay him $6.03 million this year. With his immense skills set and talent level, he’ll have more than a few teams willing to take a gamble on him. And he’ll have an equal grouping that will pass on him because of his attitude issues.In regards to the talents and skills of J.R. Smith, he’s easily ...

  by Chris TomassonFiled under: Celtics, Knicks, USA Basketball, Thunder, NBA Free Agents, FIBA World ChampionshipNEW YORK -- Rajon Rondo likes having a new big guy in town. Then again, it's not as if Boston brass consulted him. "I don't have any choice,'' Rondo said in an interview with FanHouse about the Celtics' recent signing of free agent Shaquille O'Neal, 38. Rondo, though, had good things to say about this hardly green center joining Gang Green. "I like it,'' the Boston point guard said after his Team USA practiced Tuesday at John Jay College in preparation for the World Championship later this month in Turkey. ...

  by Chris TomassonFiled under: Knicks, Warriors, FIBA, USA Basketball, FIBA World ChampionshipLAS VEGAS -- If this were a 6-foot-4 and under league, Team USA would be in great shape. Take a look at the point guards on America's roster. Chauncey Billups, Rajon Rondo and Derrick Rose combine for six NBA All-Star appearances. Russell Westbrook, Eric Gordon and Stephen Curry aren't too shabby either. Neither is Tyreke Evans, although he wouldn't be eligible for a 6-4 and under league due to being 6-6. As for post players, Team USA used to be deep, and that was even after all 12 Olympians from the ...

  “Mozart” to the New York Knicks? Al Jefferson, Basketball, David Lee, Kevin Love, NBA, New York Knicks, Opinion | Comments Off

  Note: Also seen at Protect the Paint. The Minnesota Timberwolves find themselves at an interesting fork in the road, and judging by June's draft in which they took point guards with both the fifth and the sixth picks, one they anticipated all along. If you haven't heard, Spanish teen-ager Ricky Rubio (AKA "Mozart") has signed a deal with Barcelona that could keep him in Spain and out of the NBA for the next two seasons. He could wait a couple years for Rubio to join the squad, which might not be the worst thing in the world. He won't turn 19 until late ...
