A new report indicates T.J. Ford sprained his index finger while tweeting his retirement, and will be out 3-6 weeks.

Agreed. Also...random thought. The guy throwing it up to him MarShon Brooks..will be a star in the league soon.

Yeah, Marshon Brooks kind of reminds me of a watered down Kobe or something. Maybe his ceiling is TMac in his prime? He has a lot of scoring moves, I like his game a lot though. I wonder if Gerald Green will finally be real successful, I'm surprised with the physical tools and shooting ability he has that he ended up in the dleague for a while to be honest.

Amazing what he can do with 4.5 fingers on his shooting hand.

hell yea my nets are getting some hype on the wz! that dunk was nasty, green is doing good esp for only being on a 10 day contract. marshon has a very bright future, and i hope we can get dwight without losing him. dwill dwight marshon would be very nice.

figured id throw in the gif

The Magic, Warriors and Hornets are in discussions on a three-team trade, two league sources confirmed.

Monta Ellis, Andris Biedrins and Dorell Wright would be sent by the Warriors to the Magic.

Ryan Anderson, J.J. Redick, Hedo Turkoglu and Quentin Richardson would be the main outgoing pieces from Orlando.

The Hornets' exact involvement is unclear, but believed to be centered around Chris Kaman.

No trade is imminent but talks are ongoing say sources

The Magic would be willing to trade Dwight Howard to Chicago in exchange for Omer Asik, Luol Deng, Carlos Boozer and a valuable first-round pick from Charlotte, according to a report.

Chicago will not move forward with the trade scenario without assurances that Howard will sign a long-term deal with the Bulls, which he's given no indication he'll do.

Jamal Crawford is on the trade block and a source says he could be dealt to the Bobcats for D.J. Augustin.

Augustin has become expendable with Kemba Walker in his rookie season.

T-minus three days till trade deadline...

dumbasses gonna dumbass

Derrick Rose just completely changed my opinion of him after this fine was levied...I thought he was supposed to be off the charts humble and only care about winning...now he goes off and calls himself a superstar and complained about officiating after a WIN. Almost every single time a guy gets fined for criticising the refs, it's after a loss which is at the very least understandable and logical. Complaining after a win shows you're just pissed because if more fouls were called, he'd get to pad his stats. He's clearly being insincere when he says all he cares about is winning because they WON.

Have you watched any Bulls games? The man takes a damn beating almost every time he drives in the lane, if somebody even breathes Lebron, Wade, or Kobe its a foul. Well worth the fine. Maybe the refs will finally give him some respect.

Don't even bother with that, one incident with Rose and all of a sudden he's the worst guy. This just shows that people are waiting for Rose to trip up. If people actually watch the games, they'd see the beating he takes every night. Many analysts have said themselves that because Rose is such a good finisher at the basket, the reds tend to swallow their whistle. If Rose wanted to pad his stats, then he wouldn't be chucking up so many shots so you can just end that nonsense. But whatever, for me it was great seeing Rose get ticked off during the game. But whatever, haters gonna hate. I guess Bill Simmons was right, Bulls fans will defend Rose no matter what

It sucks how some players just can't shake off injuries. TJ Ford could've been a special player
