The news is logical in that Evans joined Michael Jordan and Oscar...

How Durant Cured Small Market-itis

I'm not entirely sure what "small market" means these days, but I know it's bad. In fact, I'd go so far as to suggest that it's replaced "thug" as the NBA's most loaded bit of language. "Small market" is also easily among the most vague phrases in sports. When first we said it, did it refer to actual market size...

Meet the Real Kevin Martin

Kevin Martin was traded to the Rockets because he didn't fit with Tyreke Evans. While it's a bit early to say that Evans will run the league for years to come, he's cheaper, younger, and affects the game in more ways -- and with more force -- than Martin. The Kings had to make a choice, and it wasn't a difficult one. But...

For every Rose, Durant, Paul and Griffin there's a Tyreke Evans, Emeka Okafor or Mike Miller. However, there tends to be a certain eye test for franchise players. When Evans, Okafor and Miller won their awards, nobody was proclaiming them great franchise players. They tended to be more of winners by default in weak rookie classes. Only time will tell how strong or weak this year's rookie class ends up being, but nobody will say Irving only won because there weren't any franchise rookies."
