UPDATE: Sam Cassell has been released by the Los Angeles Clippers, reported by ESPN. Obviously, Garnett’s Celtics are the favorites to land him however I’m sure there are also the prospects of Phoenix and Dallas. I have to believe that we will know exactly where he ends up quite soon… Houston Rockets: Yao Ming has been shut down for the season. With a stress fracture in his foot ...

The stats are obvious and widely available, but the opportunity to watch Lakers games on TV is quite rare for those that don’t live in the Los Angeles area. During every game, at some point, the crowd will chant “M-V-P… M-V-P”. It really doesn’t matter what city the Lakers play in, Kobe is loved and hated equally. Even in Phoenix the other night for Shaq’s debut...

I awoke this morning to see that the Houston Rockets, New Orleans Hornets, and Memphis Grizzlies were all involved in a three team trade that moved some minor pieces around. The biggest names were Bonzi Wells and Mike James who were sent to New Orleans as well as Bobby Jackson who was sent to Houston.

In Atlanta, the first game after Kobe’...

Kobe must decide whether he will undergo surgery on his right shooting hand. He has been diagnosed by a professional hand doctor with a torn ligament and bone spur in his pinkie finger. If Kobe were to undergo surgery he would have approximately 6-8 weeks of recovery essentially putting him out of play until about the playoffs. The real question remains whether the Lakers can stay afloat in the pl...

Pau Gasol is a successful center for the Los Angeles Lakers. Shaq will be making his debut for the Phonix Suns next week against the Lakers. The Dallas Mavericks are still trying to figure out how to acquire Jason Kidd. The deal appeared to be done a few days ago and then suddenly Devean George decided to use his full Larry Bird rights and veto the trade. The numbers for the Mavs side to match Kid...

The Los Angeles Lakers have now completed the first give games of their record setting nine game road trip. They go into their sixth game against the Orlando Magic with a 3-2 record losing to the Detroit Pistons, by 1, and to the Atlanta Hawks, by 3. Pau Gasol has joined the team midway through this trip so far and has played two games in a Lakers uniform going 1-1. His shooting in the first game ...
