A few months back I made a call for the creation of an NBA marketing database. Places like Draft Express and Hoopshype have done a wonderful job of putting together NBA player salary databases and agent databases. However, no one has put together a database to let us know what players made in marketing dollars and which agents were negotiating those deals for them. After looking over SI's 2008 Fort...

I love this trade for Memphis. They got a guy that is going to be a very good NBA player and will fit in perfectly with their up tempo style of play. The only thing now is that they have to trade one of their point guards. Currently they have three (and if you count Mayo as a point they have four).

I love Russell Westbrook, Kevin Love, OJ Mayo, Derrick Rose and Michael Beasley. But for some reason, Rose is the only guy that gets me really excited for next season (I mean, if you've seen this video you...

He's been known for squeezing extra funds out of GMs for guys like Erick Dampier ($13 mil per season), Jason Richardson ($11 mil per season), and Troy Murphy (9.2 mil per season) outrageous over market contracts. That's probably why he turned down Miami's...
