Cleveland Cavaliers

The Washington Wizards’ president, Ernie Grunfield stated on Friday that the team plans to stick by Gilbert Arenas despite his pending legal situation.

Arenas will miss the remainder of the NBA season after being suspended by NBA commissioner David Stern. Arenas pleaded guilty last month to a felony gun charge and is scheduled to be sentenced March 26.

According to Yahoo! Sports, the Portland Trail Blazers have agreed in principle with the the Los Angeles Clippers to acquire center Marcus Camby. For the deal to be complete, both teams will require a league office approval which both teams will wait on.

According to Yahoo! sports, Camby was in Portland when he was informed by his agent Rick Kaplan that he would be traded to the Blazers. The trade proposal according to Yahoo! would send Camby to the Blazers for guard Steve Black, forward Travis Outlaw and $3 million as well.

Apparently there are two different Supermen in the NBA, Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard and Cleveland Cavaliers center Shaquille O’Neal.

But there is room for both if Men of Steel can acknowledge each other and Howard seems okay with that. Howard and O’Neal had been battling verbally over who deserves the title more, but Howard said on Sunday before the NBA All-Star Game that the battle between both over the “Superman” tag is over.

Cleveland Cavaliers superstar LeBron James has agreed to a multi-year partnership with McDonald’s once again boosting his already huge image as a global brand.

James will support several McDonald's programs and promotions as well as Ronald McDonald House Charities, which provides housing to the families of seriously ill children. James has already filmed his first commercial for McDonald’s which will air during the Super Bowl on Feb. 7.

The commercial is a take on the 1993 ad that featured Michael Jordan and Larry Bird in a trick shot contest for a Big Mac.

Boston Celtics will be glad once their forward Kevin Garnett returns to the court on Friday as planned. Garnett who returned to practice is optimistic about his return and his familiar voice could be heard around the practice facility Tuesday as the team scrimmage after their 99-90 home loss Monday night to the Dallas Mavericks.

“When it comes to intensity, I don’t have to try,” Garnett said. “That’s just something that’s instilled in me and that I do naturally.”

Apparently even before he plays an NBA regular season game this year, Houston Rockets guard Tracy McGrady is on pace to becoming an NBA All-Star next year in February when the event hits the Cowboys stadium in Arlington, TX.

McGrady so far has not played a single minute for the 12-9 Rockets which picked up Trevor Ariza during the offseason.

The New Jersey Nets after losing 117-101 Wednesday night at home to the Dallas Mavericks have set the record for the worst start to an NBA season at 0-18.

Before Wednesday night’s game, the Nets had matched the 1988-89 Miami Heat team and the Los Angeles Clippers of the 1999 season as the teams with the worst start in NBA history. Now, those two teams are no longer in the books as New Jersey holds the record with another loss to Dallas.

If you had an old Allen Iverson jersey from when he played in Philadelphia, well get it out of the attic because Iverson just signed with the 76ers, the NBA franchise that drafted him No.1 overall pick in the 1996 NBA Draft out of Georgetown.

The 76ers president Ed Stefanski announced the signing on the team’s website on Wednesday as the 10-time All-Star is expected to make his debut with his first team at home against the Denver Nuggets the team he was traded to on Monday.

The New Jersey Nets have not only matched the current winless record in the NBA going 0-17, they just moved Kiki Vandeweghe to their head coach position for the rest of the regular season.

According to Yahoo! Sports who had first reported that Vandeweghe was leaning toward accepting the position, the GM’s coaching staff would include Del Harris who has held some key head coaching and assistant positions in the NBA.

The Philadelphia 76ers have met with their former superstar guard Allen Iverson to discuss the possibility of a return to the NBA for the 10-time All-Star who recently announced he was retiring from the NBA.

Apparently both parties met in Dallas for nearly two hours where the 76ers will face the Dallas Mavericks. Team president Ed Stefanski said in a statement released that no commitment has been made yet since both parties are still deciding on the best option.
