[[tmz:video id="0_ay4xzkoj"]] Phoenix Suns star Tyson Chandler says he ain't gonna trash his old boss, Phil Jackson -- telling TMZ Sports the Zen Master "helped me out" by trading him from the Knicks to the Mavs back in 2014. People trashed the trade back then (and now, too) -- when Phil dealt Chandler and Raymond Felton to the Mavs in exchange for Jose Calderon, Samuel Dalembert, Shane Larkin, Wayne Ellington and two 2nd round picks. But Chandler ain't bitter about it -- saying,...

I have the ball at the top of the key — I’m James Harden. I have a breadth of options at my disposal. Do I alley-oop it to Dwight Howard? Do I unleash a spin move and take it to the hole? Oh, I know! I’m going to do a crossover followed by a step-back J’ so I can revel in the glory of hearing nothing but net! Okay, so all I have to do is swing the right stick in the correct motions to pull off the moves a la BounceTek. Hm, the defense is going to be tough…wait, the defenders are just standing around? Okay, I guess my teammates and I will take advan — oh, they’re idle, too? Maybe the AI — and hopefully the graphics — will improve on the next-gen version. Oh, this is the next-gen version? Welcome to NBA Live 14.

How sweet would it be to see the future hall-of-fame Canadian suit up for the league’s only Canadian team? It might make the Raptors relevant on a grand stage for the first time since they lead the Atlantic in 2006, passing the Boston Celtics in the standings en route to a playoff appearance. This would be the Raptors second future hall-of-fame signing since Hakeem Olajuwon- yes, that guy – was traded to the Raptors in 2011, where he ended his career.
General Manager Bryan Colangelo has already stated that going after Steve Nash would be the Raptors top, maybe even only, priority this summer. And they’re going to push hard; there’s no question about that. Now that the rumour mill is flooding, multiple sources have already claimed the Raptors will offer Steve Nash (aka Kid Canada) $36 million for three years, with an option for a third year. It almost...

This morning, big news hit regarding the possibility of the Raptors signing Steve Nash. Chris Palmer of Espn tweeted that fellow sportswriter Chris Broussard is reporting that the Raptors may amnesty Jose Calderon to go after Steve Nash on July 1, the period when free agency begins.
Calderon, the 30-year-old Spanish point guard, is owed $10.6 million next season.
So what exactly is an amnesty clause? According to USA Today: “The amnesty provision allows a team to waive a player and not have his salary count against the salary cap or luxury tax. The player will still receive his salary for the season.”
Thunder Rumblings blog calls it like this:
“Amnesty is defined as “a general pardon granted by a government, especially for political offenses.” The NBA definition could be something along the lines of “a delete button for organizations that feel they’re paying a player too darn much.” In the NBA version of Monopoly,...
