Donald Sterling can't be blamed for Elton Brand's departure
ON THE NBAGee, why do these things keep happening to the Clippers? I know what you're thinking, but they didn't lose Elton Brand because owner Donald T. Sterling couldn't be reached or wouldn't come up with the money. It looks as if they lost Brand because he...Tags: Philadelphia 76ers, National Basketball Association, Corey Maggette, Elton Brand, Basketball

Will humorless Riley really pass on Michael Beasley?
The people's choice, his peer's pick -- who knows, maybe even the Heat's No. 1 selection tonight -- entered a Manhattan ballroom Wednesday afternoon, straight from the campus in Manhattan, Kan., whispering to himself, "You're not in Kansas anymore, Toto."...Tags: Derrick Rose, National Basketball Association, Kevin Garnett, Pat Riley, Dwyane Wade

NBA draft's worst picks since 1985
It's NBA draft time again, and we can all look forward to some familiar scenes. Commentators/analysts will make fun of everyone's suits. Commissioner David Stern will stumble over someone's name.

Second to first rarely happens in the NBA
The return of Andrew Bynum could tilt the odds in the Lakers' favor, of course, but recent history has not been kind to NBA Finals runners-up. . . . Only one team in the last 22 years has won a championship the year after losing in the Finals -- the...Tags: Gabe Kapler, Nokia Theater, Cal Ripken, Major League Baseball, Kansas City Royals

Ask Sam Smith

Curry better, not team
Tribune staff reporterForget the underwhelming trade offers of Nazr Mohammed and Michael Olowokandi. Maybe Bulls general manager John Paxson should pull up Pat Riley on his speed dial and ask him to take Eddy Curry for Shaquille O'Neal—straight up. Of course, that notion...Tags: National Basketball Association, Pat Riley, Corey Maggette, Tyson Chandler, Ben Gordon

Bulls fend off T'wolves
Tribune staff reporterAs they bounded off the Target Center court Sunday evening, the Bulls couldn't have cared less that they'd let a 13-point second-half lead disintegrate. Or that the Timberwolves had played without Sam Cassell, Wally Szczerbiak and, for the second half,...Tags: Wally Szczerbiak, Kevin Garnett, Latrell Sprewell, Fred Hoiberg, Troy Hudson

K.C. Johnson on the Bulls
Why are people talking about Jamal Crawford as a "building block" or franchise player? I don't see him doing anything that Ron Harper couldn't do early in his career, which might have been enough for some big nights and an All-Star game, but not enough to...Tags: Ethics, Values, Andre Miller, Tyson Chandler, Elton Brand

Western Conference capsules
Tribune pro basketball reporterWhat's the limitation on peats? Four? Five? Wasn't it an eight-peat for the Boston Celtics? The Los Angeles Lakers go where no Bull ever tread, in serious search of a fourth consecutive NBA title. It sounds impressive, but two were miraculous, with the...Tags: Denver Nuggets, Shawn Bradley, Ruben Patterson, Andre Miller, Stephon Marbury
