NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball.
It is going to be the most exciting free agent year of all time next year and you can add the super powered guard from Miami to the list. Dwyane Wade will be joining LeBron James, Chris Bosh, and Amare Stoudemire, among others, as 2010 free agents. This just keeps getting better. (Note, appears my Pistons won’t have any free agent money or at least the kind to land these guys.)
Now don’t get me wrong, the rules are rigged to keep a player in his …read more

Lamar Odom was a key part to the Los Angeles Lakers winning it all. The versatile forward that came to the Lakers in the Shaquille O’Neal trade with the Miami Heat had an outstanding season.
So why isn’t he getting a big fat raise like all the other free agents?
Simple, Lamar Odom will soon be 30 years old and this is the new NBA where money actually matters.
But unless you’ve lost all contact with the outside world in the past 12 months, it’s pretty obvious things around the …read more

The rumors have started and this one would truly be fun. How about if Dwyane Wade went to the Bulls to join up with Derrick Rose. Could it be the return of Pippen and Jordan and a return of the glory years of victories, victories, and more Bulls victories punctuated by NBA titles and MVP awards?
Wade’s performance in Monday night’s 130-127 double-overtime victory over the Bulls was one for the ages. His desperation heave to end the first half miraculously fell. He buried a dramatic 3-pointer to tie …read more

Darius Miles wanted to play and Portland will pay, but he won’t play for Portland. Darius will play for Memphis.
Confused?
Portland released Darius saying he was medically ineligible, but if he plays 10 games for anyone then Portland is on the hook for 18 million bucks. Portland’s owner even sent out a mass e-mail to all the NBA owners not to sign Darius. That did not sit too well with a lot of owners.
Miles was signed by the Grizzlies as a free agent on Dec. 13 …read more

Jason Maxiell taking it to the rack

Coach Michael Curry and the Detroit Pistons have their first victory on the books and Curry played a lot of the young guys. This is the new look Pistons.
Joe Dumars, the masterful GM, is mixing up a new brew for Halloween and many of the future Piston pieces are involved.
You will see Rodney Stuckey, Amir Johnson, and Arron Afflalo playing lots of minutes. It is a massive youth movement after failing to move any of the …read more

Stephon Marbury may never find his potential

For better or worse and most of the time worse, Stephon Marbury has been the face of the New York Knicks. He was like a plague to both Larry Brown and Isiah Thomas. Now the Knicks are prepared to face life without him.
The rumor is that the Miami Heat will go after Stephon. That may be a bad idea even though the Heat need a point guard.
Yes, yes, if Stephon Marbury would mind his ways …read more

Shaun Livingston takes a bite out of crime
Shaun Livingston played for the Clippers and destroyed his knee. The Clippers eventually renounced their rights to Shaun. Now Shaun is trying to latch onto another team as a free agent.
Livingston worked out in Portland on Friday, and two league sources believed the Blazers are the favorites to sign the ex-Los Angeles Clippers guard. Still, it is unclear whether Portland general manager Kevin Pritchard has been convinced enough to add yet another guaranteed contract to his roster.
Minnesota executives Jim …read more

Andre Iguodala is surrounded by Rasheed Wallace and Jason Maxiell
served by picapp.com
Andre Iquodala has talent just oozing out of him. If you watched the first round playoff matchup of the Philadelphia 76ers and the Detroit Pistons, it was easy to see who was carrying the 76ers.
Andre was the man.
Unfortunately the Pistons are one of the best defensive teams in the league. They blanketed Andre with Tayshaun Prince as the lead defender and help coming from any direction Andre went. Bad grammar, but true story.
Andre still …read more
