Has Michael Jordan talked with former Knicks legend Patrick Ewing about coaching the Bobcats? Were LeBron James' comments about the current NBA being "watered down" compared to yesteryear slightly inacurrate? Is Steve Nash fed up with the Suns after last night's rout at the hands of the 76ers?
I examine these questions and a couple more in today's edition of "NBA Rumors" at TSJ for December 31, 2010.
With the new year on the horizon it appears more and more likely that Carmelo Anthony might remain a Nugget until the very last second due to Denver's extreme new trade demands and according to various sources the Nets have soured a bit on a potential deal.
Do you blame them?
As far as LeBron's comments on contraction are concerned I can only assume now that he spoke out of turn and in a completely uneducated manner. I already came to this conclusion previously but I'm glad I'm not alone in my though process and the team at Sports Illustrated has done a fine job illustrating this point.
The column is definitely worth checking out and I'm going to provide a link to Zach Lowe's excellent piece on the matter via The Point Forward. CLICK HERE to read that piece.
Oh, and my opinon on MJ potentially hiring Ewing to coach the Bobcats? I'm surprised Ewing can even look Jordan in the eye, nevermind potentially coach for him, after being POSTERIZED LIKE THIS - such a good sport, that Patrick Ewing.
That being said he seems to be doing a fine job in Orlando so I wish him luck.
Here are a few rumors and news items that I found particular interesting this morning that we'll touch on below:
- Patrick Ewing confirms he has spoken with Jordan about Bobcats coaching position
- Was LeBron James terribly wrong about the 1980's?
- Steve Nash apparently went ballistic during last night's loss to the 76ers
- Have the Nets soured on a potential deal for Carmelo Anthony?
- Could Tracy McGrady be the Pistons best playmaker this season?
- Hakeem Olajuwon to open clothing line? You bet!
