Knicks Say No To Suns On Shumpert Trade
It’s no surprise Mike Woodson takes the game of basketball seriously. If the action of throwing your shoe at your players for fumbling a play were an expression, Woodson wears it nightly. The only thing he seems to take more seriously is maintaining his patch of jet black facial hair in a perfect circle of […]
Dwama Continues Between Kobe and D. Howard
Dwight Howard is the kind of player we see only once an era. Except unlike Jordan or Lebron, the self-ascribed Superman has principally left his mark on the league as skunks do: by turning any area he occupies into a place no one else can stand to be in, and never admitting that it wasn’t […]
Carlos Boozer-Andrea Bargnani Deal ‘On The Table’
The Toronto Raptors aren’t hanging their gloves just yet. After getting a dose of the trading high, landing small forward Rudy Gay from the Memphis Grizzlies, the team up north are at it again. This time they’ve taken on the unthinkable: they’re exploring the possibility of trading for Carlos Boozer. Yes, the same Carlos Boozer […]

Since you enjoy them so much, Sports Jerks decided to put together one of its own. There might be a few surprises, and more than a few givens, but it’s […]
The Truth: Paul Pierce Might Be Leaving Boston
Well, at least we know Rudy Gay won’t be donning the Celtics green. Despite short-lived banter that the ex-Grizzlie could land in Boston, and admission from Gay that Rondo had been bugging him to join the Big Three, Rudy is now a Raptor. Now when he decides to fade during stretches of games, like he’s […]
Rudy Gay Is Trade Bait For The Raptors
UPDATE 8:00 PM EST Marc Stein of ESPN.com reported that a three way trade involving the Pistons, Raptors and Grizzlies will send Rudy Gay to Toronto, Tayshaun Prince and Austin Daye to Memphis, and Jose Calderon to Detroit.
