Various reports have mentioned that DeMar DeRozan has agreed to a 4-year contract extension with the Toronto Raptors. With incentives, DeRozan’s overall contract will be worth $42 million. That’s just below Stephen Curry’s deal that’s worth $44 million. Ty Lawson’s contract is the same length but at $48 million. This is the marketplace that was set up for the guards…. Read more →
Good afternoon and welcome to the Bullet Passes. We have a lot for you today following the season kickoff, but nothing more pressing than the Lakers losing their home opener to the jayvee squad from Dallas. And, of course, every Lakers fan is losing their mind overreacting and calling for Mike Brown’s head. It’s a rather amazing thing to behold… Read more →
According to Marcus Thompson of the San Jose Mercury News, Stephen Curry and the Warriors have come to an agreement to an extension. The numbers? 4 years and $44 million. Today is the deadline for teams to extend players. Stephen Curry was drafted seventh by the Warriors in 2009 after a fantastic college career in Davidson. Curry was slowed by… Read more →
Welcome to another day of the Bullet Passes. Today will probably be short and sweet because I am dealing with the after effects of Sandy, so there probably will not be as much sarcasm and funny. I want to get my stuff done so I can get home and watch Opening Night. You understand, right? So let’s get to it… Read more →
So according to our sources, Ty Lawson has signed a four-year, $48 million extension with Denver Okay. Our sources was really Ty Lawson himself. Marc Spears from Yahoo reported the number of dollars. There was quite a bit of talk for a while between the Nuggets and Lawson. Some feared it would go the way of James Harden, when he… Read more →
Of course, a season preview won’t be complete without predictions from the guys that have worked here (writers or behind the scenes). We decided to do it a little differently this season and vote for one in each category instead of doing a Top 5. No point system or anything. As of this writing, we’ve had a dozen people vote… Read more →
Well, I did this before. These are my seeding predictions for the season. Not the most analyzed piece you’ll see but I’ll give a few quick hits of all 30 teams in the league. At the end, I’ll give my playoff predictions. Of course, if you checked out a certain team preview, you probably already know who I’m picking for… Read more →
Mitch Kupchak had this… look of disdain… or look of being ready to assassinate someone… So you know, we thought it was pretty much the end after May of 2012. The Lakers looked completely inferior against the Thunder. Kobe Bryant has continued to decline even though he has admirably continued to produce great numbers. But it seemed like he was… Read more →
Welcome to another day of the Hurricane Passes … er … Sandy Pa … Bullet Passes. Sorry, I have hurricanes on the brain and out my window and probably in my basement soon enough. Regardless, I am here giving you today’s news only 36 hours before the tipoff of another fabulous season. Until then, you are stuck with me and… Read more →
Tomorrow, it all starts. The NBA regular season is upon us. If you don’t know by now, a shocking trade happened over the weekend. James Harden is now a Houston Rocket after contract talks broke off with the Oklahoma City Thunder. You can’t blame both sides for trying to do business. I felt Sam Presti pulled the trigger too early… Read more →
