I know the consensus among "draft experts" is that you always draft best player available. I agree for the most part, but that doesn't mean you should adopt such a narrow perspective either. It's OK to consider your team's areas of strength and weakness -- including by position -- when [...]
ESPN's Chad Ford has Kentucky center DeMarcus Cousins dropping to the Warriors at No. 6 in his latest mock draft (version 3.0). Check out the entire mock here (you'll need ESPN Insider to read it). Here's what Ford had to say about the prospect of Cousins slipping to the Warriors: [...]
Contrary to initial reports, the San Francisco Chronicle's Rusty Simmons writes that Larry Ellison is among those who submitted non-binding bids to purchase the Warriors. The bids -- more than a dozen, according to Simmons -- came in Monday. Simmons' information comes from a source close to the negotiation process. Simmons also reported that Ellison's [...]
Lady Luck didn't look in the direction of the Warriors on Tuesday night, as the Warriors, who went in with the fourth-best chance of landing the No. 1 pick, instead fell to the sixth overall selection in the 2010 NBA draft. The draft is Thursday, June 24, in New York [...]

Take a look at my headline for this entry. I think I might be understating it a little bit. I think some of the reporting about the Cavaliers in wake of the drubbing they took in Game 5 and their subsequent 3-2 series disadvantage to the Celtics has been a [...]
I've been disappointed in the past week by the lack of attention the national media have given the Suns. I was watching "Outside the Lines" on ESPN on Tuesday and they asked which team was more impressive in its second-round sweep, the Lakers or the Magic? It's a good question, [...]
