King, according to sources, was confident that he had a trade proposal that was a perfect fit for all teams involved. According to sources, King was planning to contact the Minnesota Timberwolves in order to gauge their interest in a three-team trade that would send Kevin Love to the Lakers, Brook Lopez to the Timberwolves and Dwight Howard to the Nets. Other small pieces would need to be included, but the proposed trade was thought to be intriguing enough to start conversations in the Lakers front office that would force them to deal with Howard earlier than planned. That idea, however, was shelved when Love was sidelined 8-10 weeks with a broken hand. The Nets believed the Lakers would be interested in Love, but not an injured Love, even if they’re facing missing the playoffs, according to sources.”

I went to the Magic-Pacers game the other night and tried to get coaches and players to talk about why the NBA has been immune from PED scandals, and you'd have thought I was asking them to give up their guaranteed contracts.

Magic coach Jacque Vaughn: "That's far beyond my realm of explanation."

Pacers coach Frank Vogel: "I don't really know why."

Even the effusive Glen "Big Baby" Davis, the round mound of expound, had nothing to say.

"I don't know," he said. "I have no idea."

Well, let me answer the question then. It's because the NBA, for years, has had the weakest drug-testing policy of all major sports leagues and has been given a free pass by media, fans and, yes, the federal government.

Derrick Rose and the NBA’s apparent ‘huge’ steroid problem - Ball Don't Lie - NBA*Blog - Yahoo! Sports

In one of those quickie Q and A's ESPN Mag likes to run every-however-often-they-publish, Rose was asked to rate the NBA's problem with PEDs on a scale from one to ten. He classified it as a "seven," and then dropped this:
"It's huge and I think we need a level playing field, where nobody has that advantage over the next person."
