The message is a bit feisty, but it sure does get the point across.

Turner showed flashes of brilliance as a starter last season, but often struggled with consistency and was benched

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. With six weeks to go, many teams are looking to fill the final spot or two on their rosters. And as we pointed out last week, there is not much to choose from. Although there has been talk about some of these teams possibly adding another player, Chicago, Dallas, Detroit, Golden State, Indiana, the Los Angeles Lakers, Memphis, New York, Oklahoma City

Marks: Bynum has a welcome party in Philly

by

PHILADELPHIA—In the adjacent room of the National Constitution Center, unsuspecting little old ladies posed for pictures with statues of the Founding Fathers, the men who were instrumental in the birth of a nation. Chances are they’d never heard of Andrew Bynum, the man whom the Philadelphia 76ers hope will be just as instrumental in their own rebirth as a true NBA power. Into the center of the hall he marched Wednesday, ringed by hundreds of boisterous basketball fans whose voices have been

Tweet of the Day goes to J.A. Adande, who quoted the new 76ers center Andrew Bynum about how he felt it was time for a change, implying that he no longer wanted to stay with the Los Angeles Lakers. Bynum was introduced as a Sixer for the first time on Wednesday and was greeted by strong cheers from a large crowd of fans in Philadelphia. During the press conference, he stated the following: “I’m really looking forward to making this my

Future free agency: Who is the next Dwight Howard?

by

Are you happy that the interminable saga surrounding Dwight Howard’s next destination is mercifully over? Yeah, us too. Most NBA observers – and we’re talking about everyone from Commissioner David Stern to billionaire owners to sleep-deprived GMs to fellow superstars to media members to fans to forum flamers – are mentally moving on from Howard now that he finally has been traded from the Orlando Magic to the Los Angeles Lakers. Yes, there is a faction of folks who feel there may be

TWITTER VOICES HEARD: all @sixers fans invited to attend open Bynum/JR press conference this week. Season/20/10 tix holders reserved area. — Adam Aron (@SixersCEOAdam) August 13, 2012 Well, it should be quite a welcome for Andrew Bynum in Philly. Sixers CEO Adam Aron listened to his tweeps, who were asking for access, and invited season-ticket holders to come view Bynum’s introductory press conference. Can’t say I’ve ever heard of a team doing that.

Heisler: Lakers do it again; Howard the newest version of Wilt, Kareem

by

LOS ANGELES — And so, Dwight Howard winds up with the Lakers… just as we said he would! Of course, we said that in the spring of 2011, after All-Star Weekend when Dwight was asked which player here he’d most like to play with, and he answered “Kobe Bryant.” In the 18 months since, we said a bunch of other things: He was going to the Nets with Deron Williams. He was going to the Mavericks with Deron Williams. He was going to Houston. He wasn’t staying

Winners and Losers in Dwight Howard trade

by

// The blockbuster went down today, and Dwight Howard is going to the Lakers. Who won? Who lost? We’ll take it team-by team: LOS ANGELES LAKERS — They are replacing the best center in the Western Conference with the best center in the Eastern Conference. And let there be no doubt — Dwight is twice the player that ‘Drew is. Howard has 41 career 20-20 games (scoring at least 20 points and grabbing at least 20 rebounds), with his last one coming in what
