Omri Casspi to Compete in NBA's All-Star H.O.R.S.E. Contest

Omri Casspi will be in TNT's three-man field for the NBA H.O.R.S.E. content on All-Star Saturday. He'll face reigning champ Kevin Durant and Celtics beast Rajon Rondo. Casspi's also in the Rookie-Sophomore game Friday. Tyreke Evans has a spot on Sacramento's Shooting Stars contest on Saturday night.

Patience, or Why Everyone Else Wants Kevin Martin

Kevin Martin is quickly becoming the hottest name on the mouths of rumor-mongers. The "why?" isn't hard to understand -- the Kings have continued to lose, Martin and Tyreke Evans have alternately had off nights together, shooting guard is a surprisingly star-bereft position outside the top level, and Martin has a long history of scoring prolifically and efficiently. Essentially, other teams really want Kevin Martin. Why shouldn't we?

The losses are hard to take, trust me. (Hey, I'm the guy who posted the vacant Iguodala poll the morning after a brutal loss.) But -- while Martin had been off-par since returning -- it's a conglomerate of causes settling this denouement, if this in fact a denouement and not just the mountain pass on the way to glory.

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly Week 15

Gbug15_medium


Spence, you've been playing well ever since my Article asking if you've regressed.  Perhaps I should do this for JT and Kevin as well.

Another 0-3 week, but this time there is reason for encouragement.  The Kings played 3 good to great teams and had the chances to beat 2 of them.  That's better than being embarrassed in all of them, which had sadly started to become a trend.

Additionally, sources say Minnesota has considered adding [Kevin] Martin to its backcourt. It's not known, however, whether Timberwolves general manager David Kahn would trade either member of his formidable frontcourt – Al Jefferson or Kevin Love.
