Rumors: Sixers Interested In Omer Asik?
ESPN's Marc Stein states in his latest column that the Sixers could be the landing spot for disgruntled Rockets center Omer Asik. While the Sixers are sure to be engulfed in rumors come the February 20th trade deadline, Philadelphia has now been placed at the forefront of a deal likely to happen rather soon. Since Houston's offseason acquisition of Dwight Howard, Omer Asik, now relegated to a backup role, has made his desire for a trade rather clear. The Rockets initially balked at his trade demands but have now opened up, and multiple reports site that Daryl Morey would like to move the...

Is Jason Kidd in trouble? Nope
The Nets didn't hire Jason Kidd for the first 20 games of the season. They hired him for four years, believing he will be the team's long-term solution, the franchise player and Hall of Famer turned franchise symbol. Ownership pushed hard for him and agree to pay him $10 million over four years, the last year a team option. They may be disappointed in the team's performance but as one team official said last week, "We all support him. We're all rooting for him." Mitch Lawrence of the Daily News writes Sunday that Kidd really isn't in trouble ... and like so many others offered an "I told so...

Rapid Reaction: Celtics 112, Knicks 73
If Carmelo Anthony truly is recruiting Rajon Rondo to come to New York, he put together an awful pitch on Sunday afternoon. Anthony's New York Knicks looked like the last team any free agent would be interested in joining on Sunday. They lost in embarrassing fashion to a Boston Celtics team without Rondo, 114-73. The Knicks had won two straight prior to Sunday's debacle. But any goodwill gained from those two Ws was lost against Boston. New York fell behind by scores of 12-0, 25-3 and 32-7 -- and that was in the first quarter.

Nets 90, Bucks 82: Brook Lopez drops 32 points on Milwaukee in win
Brook Lopez put on an offensive clinic on Saturday night as the Brooklyn Nets slowed down the game and handled the Milwaukee Bucks in the half court. In many ways, the Brooklyn Nets were the perfect opponent for the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday night. Through 20 games, the Nets look like a $100 million dumpster fire of a team primed to pay an additional $87 million in luxury tax for the right to exist in their undeniably imperfect form. They are the best reminder that you can't buy or deal your way out of a poor plan or a weak core of talent to become a contender in the NBA. That's not how...
