NBA Free Agency: Who Still Needs What?

by

With the opening of training camps in late September, there is now more offseason behind us rather than in front of us.

Although they were overwhelmed by a more experienced Spurs team in the first

Bernucca: Howard’s farewell tour should be a doozy

by

Earlier this week, our Mark Heisler reported that the Orlando Magic would be willing to wait until next summer to trade Dwight Howard if that is what it takes to get fair value for the superstar center. It’s hard to imagine Howard even coming to training camp with the Magic, let alone playing the entire season in Orlando, where he is slightly more popular than George Zimmerman and Casey Anthony. But what if he did? The NBA schedule was released Thursday, and more

by

Dwight Howard is dominating the offseason news again. On Wednesday, we told you there was an ESPN report detailing the early framework of a three-team deal in which the Orlando Magic would send Howard to the Los Angeles Lakers, who would send Andrew Bynum to the Cleveland Cavaliers, who would send Anderson Varejao and a package of draft picks to the Magic.
