The Spurs are among the teams with interest in Hawks forward Josh Smith, a source told Yahoo! Sports. Keep in mind, Hawks general manager Danny Ferry was previously with the Spurs

The Spurs offered forward DeJuan Blair to the Pistons and discussed a deal involving him with the Raptors, but nothing has come of those talks so far, according to Chris Broussard of ESPN.com (on Twitter). Broussard hears that the Celtics, Heat, and Trail Blazers are among the teams that could have interest in the 23-year-old.

Blair has been considered a trade candidate for quite some time and there has been friction between him and the club ever since he was effectively 86'd from the rotation in the 2012 postseason. The Pitt product is seeing less playing time than ever this season, averaging 13.9 minutes per contest versus 20.2 per game over the previous three years in San Antonio.

I see Pop already spreading out those fake rumors so someone can panic trade for Smith and try to get up Blair's trade value, I see you...........Popabytch

WASHINGTON -- Denver Nuggets star Kenneth Faried has become the first NBA player to join an organization devoted to fighting homophobia in sports, and said he hopes his involvement will raise awareness of gay rights in professional basketball.

Equal rights for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender community is close to the heart of Faried, nicknamed the "Manimal" for his fierceness on the court. The 23-year-old forward was raised in New Jersey by two mothers, who married in 2007. Faried recently appeared with his mothers in a video for the advocacy group OneColorado, to encourage Colorado to legalize civil unions.

"Becoming an Athlete Ally gives me the opportunity to spread a message of inclusiveness throughout the NBA and our country," said Faried in a statement to The Huffington Post, referring to the non-profit group that advocates for gay rights in sports. "I have two moms and I love them both very much. I respect, honor and support them in every way. The bond I have with them has made me realize that I want all members of the LGBT community -- whether they are parents, players, coaches or fans -- to feel welcome in the NBA and in all of our communities."

that's my progressive, trailblazing ahki.

Broussard out here dropping knowledge on Lebron stans today.

But MJ in 1988-89 was ridiculous too: 32.5p, 8r, 8a, 54% FG for the entire season. Had 5-game stretch of 43ppg, 6.2r, 4.8s, 3.6a, 60.4% FG
Same season, MJ racked up 10 triple-doubles in an 11-game stretch, avg 33.6p, 11.3a, 10.8r, 51%FG. 6-6 guard in era of great big men

I'm loving Tim Hardaway on commentary in this game.

Best line so far "Dwyane Wade put his alter ego to the side and brought in other stars"
