Ex-NBA player caught in drug probe
Crittenton and 13 other people were named in the indictment that was initially the result of an investigation conducted by the federal Drug Enforcement Administration, according to a source close to the investigation. According to that source, Crittenton conspired to deal cocaine and marijuana in the months before he was indicted last year for his […]

J.R. Smith will replace Shumpert in the starting lineup. Shumpert hurt his shoulder in the first quarter of the Knicks’ win over Boston on Tuesday. The Knicks are listing Shumpert as day to day. The third-year guard dealt with shoulder soreness in training camp but has remained relatively healthy throughout the season, playing in every […]
Continue readingCregan’s fantasy basketball awards: Green over Curry for MVP
Here is my not-so-traditional version of the 2015-16 fantasy basketball awards, dishing out hardware for common categories, such as Comeback Player of the Year and Most Valuable Player, and for all-new categories or those not often featured, such as Rookie Superstar of Tomorrow Award and the Shawn Bradley Courage Award, among many others. Spoiler alert: […]

“It’s a star-vehicle town,” Nederlander assured Steinbrenner after the young shipbuilder left Cleveland to take the wheel of a sinking ocean liner. Steinbrenner’s Yankees set the big-city standard for pursuing big-ticket talent, for trying to buy championships without offering apologies to those without the stomach (or budget) for the fight. Prokhorov proved Thursday night he […]

It’s hard to argue with that. But as auctions become the way to go in many fantasy leagues in 2016, they also require much more time — sometimes around 3.5 hours in baseball leagues with large rosters — and over two hours in fantasy basketball and football leagues. That’s where the traditional snake-style draft has […]

As I warned last week, this time-share will continue to frustrate fantasy owners unless an injury strikes in the Raptors’ backcourt. Calderon and Lowry have individual value, but they’ll continue to cut into each other’s minutes and production for the foreseeable future. Note: Brian McKitish’s top 130 players are ranked for their fantasy value from […]

Three years ago, Andre Iguodala joined the team that had just eliminated his squad from the playoffs, to considerably less criticism than Durant currently is receiving. Upon arriving in Golden State by way of Denver, Iguodala said this of Steph Curry in his first Oakland news conference on July 11, 2013: “Steph and I played […]

Continue readingStarting Five: Debating C.J. McCollum vs. Reggie Jackson
It takes time to answer questions like whether Reggie Jackson or C.J. McCollum is a better rotisserie play, what you should expect from Brandon Jennings and Marcus Smart as they return from injury, whether Terrence Jones is worth a roster spot or, whether the #FreeBobbyPortis campaign is actually coming to fruition. Don’t worry; I have […]
