by Chris TomassonFiled under: Clippers, Suns LOS ANGELES -- Sure, Mickael Pietrus says he liked being traded to Phoenix. That's easy to say after scoring 25 points in just his second Suns game, right? But the forward said that before Sunday's 108-103 loss to the Clippers at the Staples Center. Even though Pietrus went from an upper-seed kind of playoff team in Orlando to one that might struggle just to make the postseason, he believed it was a good move. "I'm very happy,'' Pietrus said. "I'm in a good situation with great teammates, a great coach (Alvin Gentry), and I really enjoy it.'' Pietrus ...

by Tim PovtakFiled under: Magic, Suns, Wizards, NBA TransactionsORLANDO, Fla. -- This wasn't about finding pieces that fit -- because these really don't fit very well. This was about getting more players good enough to win an NBA title, and getting rid of those who had grown a little too comfortable. It clearly was a gamble, a bold move, but a risky one for a franchise desperate to win a championship now. When a 15-4 start became a 16-9 record, they didn't waste any time clearing the deck. Magic general manager Otis Smith put his reputation -- and the team's future -- ...

by Tim PovtakFiled under: Magic, Suns, Wizards, NBA Rumors, NBA TwitterThe Orlando Magic, unhappy with their December slide, wasted no time in completing two different trades on Saturday, first getting Gilbert Arenas from Washington, then Jason Richardson, Hedo Turkoglu and Earl Clark from Phoenix. They sent Rashard Lewis to Washington and Vince Carter, Marcin Gortat and Mickael Pietrus and a future first-round pick to Phoenix. "We needed a way to get better,'' said Magic general manager Otis Smith. The Magic played the Philadelphia 76ers Saturday night with only eight players available. Smith thought he already had the pieces to contend seriously for an NBA ...

Amar’e Stoudemire Proves He Isn’t Worth the Big Bucks Amare Stoudemire, Andrew Bynum, chris bosh, Dwyane Wade, Lamar Odom, LeBron James, Michael Redd, Pau Gasol, rashard lewis, Steve Nash, Suns News | (0)
by Jordan SchultzFiled under: Lakers, Suns, NBA All-Star Game, NBA Playoffs, The Bonus He missed jump shot after jump shot, fading away time and time again. He refused to compete on the glass in the most pivotal game of his career. He complained to the refs on seemingly every errant shot attempt or ridiculous offensive foul. Amar'e Stoudemire -- in perhaps his last game as a Phoenix Sun -- disappeared into the Arizona desert before he could ever give his team a chance. How a player with his bevy of skills turned into something of a mannequin is almost inconceivable, but ...

Expect Magic-Carpet Ride to NBA Title Bill Simmons, Dwight Howard, LeBron James, rashard lewis, Suns News | (0)
by David WhitleyFiled under: Cavaliers, Celtics, Lakers, Magic, Suns, NBA PlayoffsORLANDO -- Let's get the formalities out of the way. Orlando is a Mickey Mouse town. Its only famous fan can't even show up. Dwight Howard is Dikembe Mutombo with balloon biceps. Insult them while you can. Orlando and its nose-picking fans will laugh all the way to the NBA championship. In case you missed it, the Magic just set the Atlanta Hawks franchise back five years. They are 31-5 since the All-Star break. Now they'll sit around, dine at the finest Waffle Houses and Perkins restaurants in the Orlando/Mickey Mouse metropolitan ...

by Jordan SchultzFiled under: Kings, Suns, Trail Blazers, Warriors, NBA Awards, NBA DraftTyreke Evans of Sacramento is most likely going to win Rookie of the Year, finding himself in rarified air by having one of the greatest rookie campaigns in NBA history. His consistent play from day one has been brilliant, his numbers drawing eerie comparison to LeBron James, Michael Jordan and Oscar Robertson as the only rookies to ever average at least 20 points, five rebounds and five assists. He is pick-your-superlative great, the type of talent that wows you in five minutes. To summarize, he will win the ...

Filed under: Nuggets, Suns, NBA Police BlotterThe NBA suspended J.R. Smith for seven games, and Jason Richardson for two games, after both players recently pleaded guilty to separate driving offenses.The timing of the suspensions seems rather random -- Smith's reckless driving incident (from 2007) was resolved by the courts this past July, while Richardson served one day in jail for his DUI conviction back in December. But you knew they were coming at some point, because, well, leagues tend to suspend players who get into trouble with the law.I'm wondering, though, if the length of the suspensions doesn't seem almost ...
