Personally I like to check out either hoopshype or insidehoops everyday for the rumors/news from other teams.  Their rumors sections is just lists the major pieces of just about every NBA article from all the newspapers around the country.  Usually read it on my lunch breaks (I find hoopshype is updated daily quicker than insidehoops is).

After 18 months with their Bigs, the Littles were: 46% less likely to use illegal drugs, 27% less likely to use alcohol, 52% less likely to skip school, 37% less likely to skip a class

I like to read this site, forumblueandgold (gotta keep up on the hated Lakers!), Truehoop, Basketbawful, Ball Don't Lie, and a lot of other Celtics related blogs that you'll see linked here. Occasionally TheBigLead has good stuff, though its mostly full of Cav's fans and the owner is a huge Celtics hater.

Hardwood Paroxyism is another one I check out.

I have a huge reading list. There are some very well written Sports Nation websites such as;

www.blazersedge.com - Blazers Site
www.thedreamshake.com - Rockets Site
www.sactownroyalty.com - Kings Site
www.ridiculousupside.com - NBDL and College Ball Site

For analysis, obviously ESPN, SI and Yahoo! BDL are the best reads. For a lot more analysis though;

www.hoopshype.com - Some articles as well as NBA salary details
www.hardwoodparoxysm.com - Good funny read
www.freedarko.com - If basketball was philosophy.
www.emptythebench.com - A mix of football and basketball analysis. Very well written
www.thebasketballjones.com - Some videos that don't go up on BDL

And for humour;

www.garbagetimeallstars.com - Basketball related comics
www.basketbawful.com - The worst of basketball
theblowtorch.blogspot.com - Random funny basketball stuff.

And yes, I read a lot. And yes, this is why newspapers are dead.

I second BDM, hoopshype is the place to be. Summarizes news stories from around the league on a daily basis, has some good interviews/columns (good not great) has up to date rosters and most importantly salaries...

for draft stuff, you cannot beat nbadraft.net thankfully I haven't been there as much in the last few years as I used to!
