Let the “Derrick Rose wants a max-contract!” jokes die here, and now, and forever. Actually, keep them holstered, just in case. Despite the fuss that’s been made over how much money the New York Knicks point guard plans to chase in free agency, though, Rose maintains that he wants to win more than he wants [...]

Get excited, Miami Heat fans! Sort of. Dion Waiters has missed the Miami Heat’s last three games after suffering an ankle injury during a March 17 win against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Though X-rays were negative, no timetable was placed on his return. That still seems to be the case now, only the Heat know Waiters’ [...]

Brandon Ingram’s rookie season hasn’t been spectacular. He’s shooting under 30 percent from deep, and his free-throw percentage sits under 65. He plays hard on defense, but his reads can be off, and he’s not yet strong enough to defend power forwards. Naturally, this creates some division within the basketball ranks about his future in [...]

Doc Rivers is probably okay that the Los Angeles Clippers lost to the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday night. He loves Dirk Nowitzki that much. Fine, you got me. There’s no way he’s cool with the loss. It was a contentious game the Clippers needed. They’re now just one game up on the Oklahoma City Thunder [...]

The 2016-17 season hasn’t transpired like the Timberwolves or many NBA fans or prognosticators had projected as many thought the T’Wolves were ready for a big leap forward into the postseason.

Sources told ESPN.com’s Zach Lowe that George, who is a free agent in 2018 and considered a flight risk, would love the chance to play with the Indiana native: It all [...]

As I am sure most basketball fans have heard by now, Allen Iverson and Ice Cube have partnered to create the “Big 3” League, which is a competitive 3-on-3 basketball league to be played around the country over the summer and feature a number of retired NBA players as players and coaches. Some names involved [...]

The triangle isn’t going anywhere. Prior to the New York Knicks’ Wednesday night loss to the Utah Jazz, head coach Jeff Hornacek said that the team will be all triangle everything next season, and they’ll look to ditch anyone and everyone who isn’t buying in. Per Newsday‘s Al Iannazzone: Jeff Hornacek made it clear that the [...]

LaVar Ball, father of top NBA prospect Lonzo Ball, and LeBron James, best player in the world, are basically feuding. Because, why not? Ball caused a stir when he said NBA stars typically don’t raise fellow NBA stars and then cited the future of James’ kids as a potential example. LeBron, of course, was none [...]

Stan Van Gundy was not happy following the Detroit Pistons’ loss to the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday night. The coach-president ripped into his team and even saved some of the blame for himself. From ESPN.com’s Nick Friedell: The message I gave them is, ‘Look, we got 10 games left,” he said. “And if we don’t change the [...]
