The NBA formally announced its new social media guidelines Wednesday, informing teams through a league memorandum that the use of cell phones, PDAs and other electronic communications devices — and thus accessing Twitter, Facebook and other social media sites — is now prohibited during games for players, coaches and other team personnel involved in the game.

William Wesley is the proverbial guy behind the guy behind the guy. He is a basketball insider who has Michael Jordan on speed dial and is on a first-name basis with dozens of high profile NBA and college coaches
Romel Beck
The Rockets reached agreement with Romel Beck, a 6-8 guard/forward who has starred with the Mexican National team.
Beck played at UNLV and professionally in Italy before a stint in the Mexican League. He spent one season in the NBA Development League and played with the San Antonio Spurs summer league team.
Rashad Jones-Jennings
Philadelphia 76ers General Manager Ed Stefanski announced today that the team has signed free agent forward Rashad Jones-Jennings. With the addition of Jones-Jennings, the Sixers training camp roster now stands at 18.
Kobe Bryant
Kobe Bryant’s contract extension negotiations were not a central issue at Lakers’ media day, even though Bryant declined to answer questions about it.
Informal negotiations have already begun, and the Lakers are secure in their belief that a new deal will be signed.
Chris Bosh
Neither Hedo Turkoglu nor Chris Bosh got any on-court work done as the Raptors officially began training camp in Ottawa on Tuesday.
Bosh is expected to miss the entire week of practices because of a strained hamstring; Turkoglu is just getting over a gruelling summer that included a trip to the NBA final with Orlando and an appearance at the European championships with Turkey.
West’s absence is again unexcused.
NBA Rumors was created by three college grads who played Division III NCAA basketball for Berkeley College. Back then, basketball was our life. A day did not go by without us talking about what was going on in the NBA.
Today, we are all working in our respective industries in Midtown Manhattan. And two years after we graduated, basketball started to fall out of our radar as we started spending more time in the office and less time on the court. Therefore, we created this blog to reunite our passion for the love of NBA and basketball across the world.
We hope that you will enjoy our blog. We are intensively working on our coffee breaks to bring you the best rumors that the NBA has to offer.
Sincerely,
