Deron Williams was flawless and fast. With a nearly perfect run through an obstacle course of dribbling, passing and shooting, Utah's point guard won the Skills Challenge on All-Star Saturday, defeating New Orleans playmaker Chris Paul in the final round. Williams blazed up, down and around the floor of the New Orleans Arena in 25.5 seconds, a new record for the six-year-old event. Cheered on...

I walked around a fair amount last night -- the traffic is pretty bad, and while I saw a massive police presence, I did not see any trouble. Haven't heard any stories, or read any articles either. The NBA has to be cautiously optimistic that their approach this weekend is succeeding. Also, one note: the place in the city with more police than anywhere else I have seen is immediately out...

The Boys of 2010 (via True Hoop)

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0100

A lot of teams want to have cap room in the summer of 2010, because that's when LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, and various other blue-chip players are eligible to taste unrestricted free agency. Contract extensions and opt-outs will prevent many of these players from playing the market, but at the moment the list could theoretically include Chris Paul, Deron Williams, Rip Hamilton, K...

Jeff Caplan of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram: "Two weeks ago, [Devean] George complained about his lack of playing time and said he'd prefer to be traded if he was not going to be a part of Johnson's rotation. Since then, George has logged about 20 minutes a game and produced while Stackhouse has b...

As a former player (Knick, Nugget, Bullet, Piston, and Bull) and head coach (Raptors and Wizards) New Orleans Hornets assistant coach Darrell Walker has shared the court, as player or coach, with some of the best NBA players in history -- including Michael Jordan, Isiah Thomas, and Joe Dumars.

Walker has a strong sense of who is, and who is not, a superstar. After working with him day...

With the NBA's trade deadline quickly approaching on February 21st, I want to take a look at what teams have done so far. The league has been criticized in the past for boring deadlines where franchises are afraid to make a big splash and look stupid if the deal doesn't work out for them, but
