Sports is reporting that Ronny Turiaf who was recently cut by the Denver Nuggets is in talks with the Miami Heat to finalize a contract. Turiaf would give the Heat an additional defensive presence in the front court which they have been desperately lacking. Tuesday vs the Phoenix Suns, Joel Anthony did not play due to a bad ankle and was replaced in the starting lineup by Dexter Pittman which is still a work in progress for the Miami Heat.

How will that go over with the Lakers’ front office. Over the last two years it has seemed that the Lakers have been on the decline and the Thunder are looking to move-up in the West as the heavyweights. They may just add more stability to the team by adding veteran point-guard Derek Fisher who like Kendrick Perkins has been there and done that.]]> http://basketballville.com/news/2012/03/21/derek-fisher-is-in-oklahoma-city-expected-to-sign-contract/feed/ 0 http://basketballville.com/news/2012/03/14/knicks-coach-mike-dantoni-resigns/ http://basketballville.com/news/2012/03/14/knicks-coach-mike-dantoni-resigns/#comments Wed, 14 Mar 2012 18:53:18 +0000 Samir Patel http://basketballville.com/?p=202 NBA.com has confirmed that Mike D’Antoni has resigned as head coach of the New York Knicks. Assistant Mike Woodson will take over on an interim basis. This move comes as there are major struggles by the Knicks upon Carmelo Anthony’s return from injuries and the team not working well together on the court. The Knicks have struggled offensively and are currently tied with the Milwaukee Bucks for the 8th seed in the playoff race with the Bucks upgrading their roster yesterday with the addition of Monta Ellis.]]> http://basketballville.com/news/2012/03/14/knicks-coach-mike-dantoni-resigns/feed/ 0 http://basketballville.com/trades/2012/03/13/warriors-and-bucks-agree-to-trade-monta-ellis-for-andrew-bogut/ http://basketballville.com/trades/2012/03/13/warriors-and-bucks-agree-to-trade-monta-ellis-for-andrew-bogut/#comments Wed, 14 Mar 2012 02:58:54 +0000 Samir Patel http://basketballville.com/?p=200

Sports, Free-Agent Kenyon Martin has agreed to sign with the Los Angeles Clippers for a one-year, $2.5 million contract. Martin was reportedly considering the Heat among other suitors. Personally I didn’t think he would have been a good fit on the Heat. At this point the Heat should not be looking for additional help. The move to the Clippers should be a good fit.]]> http://basketballville.com/news/2012/02/03/kenyon-martin-agrees-to-sign-with-clippers/feed/ 0 http://basketballville.com/videos/2012/01/31/blake-griffin-posterized-kendrick-perkins/ http://basketballville.com/videos/2012/01/31/blake-griffin-posterized-kendrick-perkins/#comments Tue, 31 Jan 2012 19:49:07 +0000 Samir Patel http://basketballville.com/?p=191

I think this is a good move for the Thunder.
