SH Blog: Jason Kidd chooses Knicks over Mavericks, Kyle Lowry traded to Raptors, Lin agrees to terms with Rockets

July 5, 2012 by James Park

Point guards have dominated much of the free agency news up to this point, and Thursday was no exception. The only difference? It was Marc Stein of ESPN that broke most of today’s biggest news instead of Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports, as you will see below. Also, for once, Dwight Howard wasn’t a major part of any big news, though you will still find news about the drama-filled center: Jason Kidd has chosen the New York Knicks over the Dallas

Heisler: Maybe the Lakers and Clippers aren’t Skid Row material after all

July 5, 2012 by Mark Heisler

A funny thing happened on L.A.’s way to oblivion…. Actually, the L.A. teams didn’t go anywhere, even if they wrote them off as the new backwater of the West and whatever other insults and Skid Row photos they threw into their dumb stories. OK, I was the one who did the backwater story a while back. OK, it was just two days back—or put another way, just before the Lakers got Steve Nash–becoming even older and slower (their starters will be 38-34-32-32-25) but

We’ve shown you Steve Nash’s movie parody videos called “Nash, Camera, Action” in the past, and the latest is a parody of “Dark Knight Rises”. Nash, the newest member of the Los Angeles Lakers, displays the workout regimen of what it takes to be a superhero in this video called “Batsanity”, and it is hardcore. He is clearly investing heavily into these films, evidenced by the profile in the beginning of the clip that reveals the high quality of the

Tweet of the Day: Evan Turner

I'm glad Steve Nash is in the West still and not in Toronto next year or else the Raptors wouldve been even tougher to play!

evan turner

Tweet of the Day goes to Evan Turner, who was happy to see Steve Nash stay on the West Coast. Had Nash gone to the Toronto Raptors, he would have become a division rival for Turner and the Philadelphia 76ers. It would have turned the Atlantic Division into one of the most competitive divisions in the league, given the fact that the Celtics are mostly keeping their core, the Knicks look to be more consistent next season with a
