Michael Beasley has had an interesting and let’s be frank, highly disappointing NBA career for a player who was taken No.2 in the 2008 NBA Draft. After underwhelming in Miami, briefly shining in Minnesota (albeit with some inefficiencies), playing awful in Phoenix and a return trip to Miami and finding his way in China, Beasley [...]

Kevin Durant is sorry for “Kevin Durant Social Media Aliasgate,” but Enes Kanter isn’t buying it. That, or he just won’t pass up the opportunity to troll his former teammate. While speaking at Tech Crunch in San Francisco, Durant apologized for since-deleted tweets from his account that sought to justify to detractors why he left [...]

Behind the scenes in the doldrums of the NBA in September, a bidding war was taking place between the T’Wolves and the Pelicans for the services of Dante Cunningham (that is NBA life in September, not the glitz and glam of July for free agents). Cunningham had a definite role as a reserve for the [...]

A confidential report obtained by ESPN.com’s Zach Lowe and Brian Windhorst shows that nearly half of the NBA’s teams reported net losses last season. Though this field dwindles down to nine when taking into account the league’s revenue-sharing program, roughly one-third of the Association still finishes in the red. Here’s more from Lowe and Windhorst: [...]

The Golden State Warriors are still trying to figure out Kevin Durant. Sure, they know this partnership is going to yield lucrative returns. It already has. The Warriors won 67 games last season, went 16-1 during the playoffs en route to a title and saw Durant nab the NBA Finals’ MVP award. And yet, his [...]

Former Minnesota Timberwolves general manager David Kahn thinks the New York Knicks may already have Carmelo Anthony’s replacement on the roster. Or something. And it’s Michael Beasley. Speaking with the New York Post‘s Marc Berman, Kahn, who brought Beasley to Minnesota from the Miami Heat in 2010, expressed that the walking buckets-getter may be just what [...]

Life for Dwight Howard since being traded from the Orlando Magic in the summer of 2012 (his request) hasn’t exactly been rosy. Formerly a superstar and seen as one of the five to 10 best and most popular players in the NBA, Howard began to deal with a slew of injuries leading to a decline [...]

Damian Lillard’s recruitment of Carmelo Anthony continues. Whether this particular continuation is deliberate or inadvertent, contrived or genuine, remains to be seen. But Lillard is now among the players who have taken issue with ESPN ranking Anthony as the 64th-best player in the league. As he told NBA.com’s David Aldridge: “I do think that ranking [...]

Jaylen Brown and rookie Jayson Tatum are incredibly important to the Boston Celtics’ future. But, by virtue of losing Avery Bradley and Jae Crowder, they’re also pivotal to the present. Yes, the Celtics signed Gordon Hayward, and Bradley’s departure came with Marcus Morris as compensation. Still, both Bradley (off-ball scorer, crafty defender) and Crowder (gutsy [...]

The Lakers have an abundance of young talent littered around their roster with Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, Julius Randle, Larry Nance Jr., Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Ivica Zubac and more. One thing that they are missing though is a veteran presence in the locker room, so we don’t have any more Snapchat controversies you know? They have [...]
