Quick Thoughts

September 26, 2008 by Harlan Schreiber Leave a Comment

1.    Marbury Happenings:    One of the few subplots actively brewing in the NBA right now is the Knicks' dealings with Stephon Marbury.  Before this week, there were strong rumors that Marbury was going to be released and the Knicks were going to buyout the $22 million left on his deal for 2008-09.  The situation is very interesting because there really are a myriad of options here.  Granted, the Knicks won't be very good and Marbury has been a complete headache the last few years but it is not … [Read more...] about Quick Thoughts

Best Team In Franchise History: Southwest Division

September 20, 2008 by Harlan Schreiber Leave a Comment

Having finished our Eastern Conference review of the best teams in franchise history, we now turn West.  Our first Western division is the Southwest, which gives us the teams of Texas, all of which have fun histories, as well as the less ballyhooed recent expansion teams (and recently moved franchises) in Vancouver/Memphis and Charlotte/New Orleans.  As always, our standard of review for this series of articles can be found here.  Now let's get to it...  Dallas Mavericks  -Kyle's Best … [Read more...] about Best Team In Franchise History: Southwest Division

Transaction 7/17-9/11

September 12, 2008 by Harlan Schreiber Leave a Comment

Atlanta Hawks  7/29    Sign Maurice Evans 7/30    Sign Randolph Morris 8/8      Re-sign Josh Smith 8/11    Sign Thomas Gardner and Othello Hunter 8/13    Sign Flip Murray  At the end of the day, the Hawks avoided the worst case scenario--that Smith would take a one-year qualifying offer in order to set up a run at unrestricted free agency in 2009.  It seemed that Smith wanted to leave Atlanta pretty badly but not badly enough to risk injury or decline that could kill his market … [Read more...] about Transaction 7/17-9/11

Best Team In Franchise History: Southeast Division

September 5, 2008 by Harlan Schreiber Leave a Comment

We now turn to one of the "new fangled" divisions, the Southeast, which was created to accommodate the expansion Charlotte Bobcats and even out the divisions (in case you missed it, an explanation of our "best" inquiry can be found here).  Aside from Charlotte, the division contains two old franchises (Atlanta and Washington) and two newer guys (Miami and Orlando).  The division lacks the obvious compelling best in franchise debates that we see in many of the other divisions but there may be … [Read more...] about Best Team In Franchise History: Southeast Division

1.    Gold:    In reality, the United States only lost one Olympics in a row but the feeling of futility has been palpable in the World Championships in 2002 and 2006 as well.  So, now the United States has returned to gold in the Olympics and the question is what does this all mean? I suppose it does touch on all of our jingoistic pride but winning the Olympics doesn't validate (or invalidate) the notion that the United States produces the most and best basketball players in the world.  But … [Read more...] about Quick Thoughts

Best Team In Franchise History: Central Division

August 17, 2008 by Harlan Schreiber Leave a Comment

Continuing with our divisional tour of best teams by franchise, we come to the Central Division, where we have some tough choices to consider.  If you're interested in the parameters of our discussion and our standard of review, you can check out the intro here.  But going forward, we get to look a pretty fun bunch of franchises, all of whom had several different years of success to measure against each other... … [Read more...] about Best Team In Franchise History: Central Division
