For one, LeBron James’ decision just got way more interesting. Bosh reiterated all along that he did not want to end up in Cleveland. Yes, he loves ‘Bron and would like to play with him, but not at the expense of ending up in Ohio. Miami was, and still is, the best place for him. They have a ton of money (how much depends on whether Bosh signs outright or agrees to a sign-and-trade), they have Pat Riley and a strong organization set in place, they have South Beach and they have Dwyane Wade.

This morning ESPN’s Chris Broussard is reporting that Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh will team up in Miami, with their official announcement coming sometime today. The Bosh-to-Miami or Bosh-to-Chicago with Wade scenario seemed to become more and more likely as yesterday wore on due to Bosh’s apparent extreme resistance to playing in Cleveland.
We will have much more analysis on this new later on today, but the major question remains: Read More »
What constitutes “news” these days? It was already getting hard to tell after the past week of one million made-up rumors and random speculation, but then this LeBron-on-Twitter thing hit yesterday and further confused the situation.

Before the Memphis Grizzlies confirmed it by locking up Rudy Gay with a five-year, $82 million contract on the first day of free agency, Gay was seen as the future of the franchise.

In Dime #57, Rudy talked to us in a “10 Sense” article about playing in a contract year and leading the Grizzlies’ return to respectability: Read More »
When it comes to summer, everyone’s looking for some fresh gear. Even Nick Collison. On the 4th of July, the Oklahoma City big man was showing off his new threads supporting his teammate Nenad Krstic. And I’m pretty sure you’re going to want to cop one of these as well. Read More »
When Chris Douglas-Roberts got traded, that didn’t mean LeBron was coming to New Jersey. Nope, it meant it was time for Terrence Williams to develop. In yesterday’s NBA Summer League game against the Sixers, he gave Nets fans a little sneak peek.
Kenny Smith has become one of the most visible NBA experts in the world. The 10-year NBA vet won two championships with the Houston Rockets after getting drafted No. 6 overall out of North Carolina, but his fame has grown more recently as a studio analyst for TNT. Smith and Charles Barkley have helped make “Inside the NBA” a must-watch on the schedule for a lot of basketball fans.
A few days ago I got up with Kenny “The Jet” to talk about his new promotional venture with Taco Bell, his favorite NBA rookies, and growing up playing ball in New York City: Read More »
