You have to think we’re in for at least another year or two of having Brian Sabean as the general manager of the San Francisco Giants, increasing to what is already the longest tenure of any active GM in Major League Baseball. Aubrey Huff was signed before this season for far below what his market...

Chris Cohan has never cared about winning a championship. One doesn’t do everything he can to avoid the luxury tax, swallow trade exceptions and allow people like Robert Rowell to negotiate contracts if the overriding goal is rings. Cohan won his version of a championship ring today, when he sold...

Alright kids, before we get into this week’s edition of “Rampant Speculation,” let’s talk a little bit about JaMarcus Russell. I apologize for missing this while I was on vacation, but I laughed for 15 minutes straight after I just found out that Russell got arrested for sippin’...

It’s not that the Warriors haven’t been able to find talented players. Hell, one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference is determined to surround their franchise center with as many ex-Warriors as humanly possible (don’t be surprised to see C.J. Watson to finally get his chance...

In the age of instant information and access, it’s curious that all we seem to want to do is reassert that something we already knew is true. I blame Dennis Green, whose “They are who we thought they were” rant is probably the most well-known and oft-quoted coach’s rant, besides...

Seeing as I’ve been calling Ekpe Udoh a “poor man’s Serge Ibaka” for a week now, I can’t say the Warriors totally whiffed yesterday. Golden State doesn’t have one guy on their roster (besides maybe Kelenna Azubuike) who’s a consistent defender and rebounder....

NBA Tuesday used to be a regular feature around these parts, and then I finally got a job after a year of freelancing and unemployment checks, and my over-ambitious power-rankings-and-other-NBA-stuff feature became too high of a mountain to climb week after week. In other words, writing such a long post...

I took a little longer than I would have liked to tackle the latest stories sweeping the Bay Area. No, not the meteoric rise of Omar Samhan’s vocal cords, but Scot McCloughan’s exit and the Warriors officially going on sale. Part of the reason for the delay was there wasn’t much to...

In one of my many “the Warriors should get something for Monta Ellis while they can” posts I’ve written over the last six months, I threw out the idea that the Warriors should call Danny Ainge and see if they could unload Monta’s and Maggette’s contracts for Ray Allen’s...

Unlike some Sports Guys out there, I know that in my current state of life and/or work experience that I’m not ready for an NBA team to hire me. Being a GM isn’t just about assessing and sourcing basketball talent and being a maestro at the ESPN Trade Machine, it’s also about being...
