Nets Talked With Jeff Bower; Interested in Joe Dumars Too
Is Mikhail Prokhorov thinking big again? The Nets spoke Saturday with Hornets GM Jeff Bower about their soon to be open GM job. Al Iannazzone reports both Bower and Dumars were interviewed, but in an email to the Detroit Free Press, Dumars denies it. Still, there seems little doubt the Nets are...

Building A Winner
In order to appreciate the highs, one has to experience the lows. That's how the saying goes, or something approximately similar to that. On December 4, 2008, after a 6-point loss, most news stories about the Thunder read something like this one: Oklahoma City lost to Charlotte 103-97 on...
Q&A Session With "House of Sparky" About James Harden
As I promised on the B.J. Mullens article, we interviewed Cory from over at House of Sparky (the SBNation Arizona State blog) about new Thunder rookie James Harden. I asked him 14 questions, and like a champ, he responded to all of them with fairly detailed answers. So, if you comment, make sure...

Loud Links: Oklahoma City Thunder News for June 26, 2009

There is more Oklahoma City Thunder news in the latest edition of Loud Links. Most interesting is that OKC has hired a Spanish law firm to assist with Rubio’s legal matters should Presti decides to draft him. The Thunder are working out a bunch of possible draftees. If I’m not mistaken...
Loud Links: Oklahoma City Thunder News for June 22, 2009
Loud Links return! Does it seems that a lot of young talent would rather play ball in OKC (versus Memphis)? Hasheem doesn’t work out for the Grizzlies. Harden gives them a poor workout. Do I really have to mention Ricky Rubio? Speaking of the Spanish wunderkind, Ricky’s contract...
