Los Angeles Clippers: Breaking Down Chris Paul’s Top Three Potential Free Agent Destinations
Chris Paul will be the most coveted free agent this offseason. He is generally considered to be the best point guard in the league and his vision of the floor is unparalleled. After Paul’s Los Angeles Clippers were vanquished in the opening round of the playoffs by the Memphis Grizzlies, the question of whether Paul might leave the Clippers has been raised quite a bit. Will he stay and try to win a title with Blake Griffin or will he bolt and try to achieve glory elsewhere? Let’s take a look at three spots where Paul might head...
read moreDallas Mavericks: 5 Key Improvements Needed To Return To Playoffs In 2013-14
It’s been 12 years since downtown Dallas was quiet in late April. In normal circumstances, the streets are filled on any given night from April to June with crowds of people, in blue and white No. 41 jerseys. Why the difference? The Dallas Mavericks did not make the playoffs and Mavs fans demand change. There are five key improvements needed to return to the playoffs in 2013-14: 1. Get Younger The Mavericks made a fair attempt to address their aging team in the 2012 draft by selecting three players in the first two rounds. After trading...
read moreDallas Mavericks: Is O.J. Mayo Worth A Long-Term Extension?
We have already decided that O.J. Mayo is not a top 10 shooting guard in today’s NBA,but that doesn’t mean that he should be playing overseas. Mayo made a decision immediately after speaking with Mark Cuban and Donnie Nelson, 24 hours after ending the season, that he would end his short Mavericks career, exercising his player option to bounce. He hopes to get a long-term deal, instead of $4.2 million for one year in Dallas. Is it the right move? As a Mavericks fan, or as Cuban likes to call us, MFFL’s, the Mayo conundrum is...
read moreDallas Mavericks: Is O.J. Mayo a Top-10 Shooting Guard?
O.J. Mayo was drafted in 2008 with more than enough question marks. His odd high-school career was followed by an even more questionable collegiate career at USC. Now finishing his fourth season in the NBA with his second franchise and with an opportunity to go back on the free-agent market next year, you have to ask: How does he rank in today’s NBA? To know O.J. you have to understand his history. He moved to Cincinnati in the eighth grade to live with his coach and played varsity basketball from Kentucky. His first day of school the...
read moreDallas Mavericks: Blueprint for the Post-Dirk Nowitzki Era
Dirk Nowitzki has been the guy for the Dallas Mavericks for more than a decade. But as with all good things there is an end and the end of the Dirk Nowitzki era is rapidly approaching in Dallas. Nowitzki, 34, missed 29 games at the start of the 2012-13 season due to a knee injury. Since his return, he’s not been the same old Dirk. His scoring average of 17.2 points per game marks the first time it’s been below the 20-point mark since his second season, 1999-00. His usage percentage of 24 percent is the lowest it’s been since a 23.8 percent...
read moreNBA: Top 10 Power Forwards Playing In The NBA
The power forward position in the NBA is a mixture of all sorts of shapes, sizes and skills. Think back to the days of the “Round Mound of Rebound,” Charles Barkley, who dominated the boards at 6’6″. Kevin McHale, who left defenders dazed and confused with a flurry of post moves, and of course the bruiser that was the Mailman, Karl Malone, who’s second all-time in points scored. Today the game is blessed to have just as much if not more variety at the position, such as the introduction of “tweeners,”...
read moreNBA: One Player Each Team Can’t Do Without
The phrase “franchise player” gets thrown around a lot. Teams usually have a player that encapsulates what the franchise is about. They help sell tickets, bring in new fans and most importantly — win games. Let’s look at one player each team in the NBA couldn’t manage without. Atlanta Hawks: Al Horford Al Horford is a very underrated player. A very skilled big man, Horford doesn’t get the attention of frontcourt mate Josh Smith — perhaps due to J-Smoove’s dunks — but he is definitely more of an elite performer....
read moreDallas Mavericks: Why They Will Beat Lakers And Take No. 8 Playoff Seed
For weeks it was seen as a race between the Houston Rockets, the Utah Jazz and the Los Angeles Lakers for the seventh and eighth seeds in the Western Conference. This was before Dirk Nowitzki and the rest of the Dallas Mavericks decided to wake up and make a push. Now they sit just 1.5 games back of the Lakers with the two teams meeting at the Staples Center on Tuesday, April 2. Here’s why they will finish above the Lakers and will be in the playoffs. Rick Carlisle In my opinion, coaching is the most underrated thing in the NBA. Good coaches...
read moreDallas Mavericks: Will Dirk Nowitzki Ever Be Dominant Again?
At the start of the season, the Dallas Mavericks waited for what must have seemed like an eternity for the return of their star power forward Dirk Nowitzki. Nowitzki has been the anchor the Mavs for more than a decade, and losing him was a tough blow to a team that was already struggling. Thankfully, he finally made his return in mid-January and so far, the results have been pretty underwhelming. At first, Dirk’s diminished productivity was simply a side effect of still getting over the injury. He was coming off the bench, playing...
read moreDallas Mavericks: Is Shawn Marion or Vince Carter the Better Hall of Fame Candidate?
The Dallas Mavericks currently have one sure-fire Hall of Famer on their roster. That would be Dirk Nowitzki, who had a decade-long run as a top-10 player that only appears to be ending now. After everything Nowitzki has accomplished, there’s no doubt that he’ll make the Hall of Fame on his first try. As for fellow Mavericks Shawn Marion and Vince Carter, they’re both right on the bubble. Both have had good careers, but neither is a sure thing to get into the Hall. With that said, both players have played pretty well this...
