Cleveland Cavaliers Looking to Trade for Backup Point Guard

Cleveland Cavaliers Looking to Trade for Backup Point Guard

Mo Williams just had to retire, didn’t he? Had he stuck with the Cleveland Cavaliers, LeBron James and friends would have repped perhaps the most complete team in the NBA. Sure, they lost Matthew Dellavedova to the Milwaukee Bucks. But they still would have had a backup point guard to soak up playmaking duties behind [...]

John Wall Frustrated with Wizards Effort

John Wall Frustrated with Wizards Effort

The Washington Wizards may be the most disappointing team in the NBA through 20 games at 7-13.

Jason Kidd: Westbrook Can Average a Triple-Double

The Thunder have played 22 games so far this season and Russell Westbrook has posted a gaudy 31.0 points, 10.9 rebounds, while dishing out 11.3 assists. What he has done so far is unthinkable.

San Antonio Spurs Originally Wanted to Trade Up to Draft Klay Thompson, Not Kawhi Leonard

Had the 2011 NBA draft unfolded differently, the NBA as we know it might not exist. Klay Thompson, for starters, wouldn’t be on the Golden State Warriors. He would be with the San Antonio Spurs. Adrian Wojnarowski of The Vertical relayed as much following Thompson’ 60-point detonation during a win over the Indiana Pacers on [...]

Chris Bosh Most Likely to Plan His NBA Return for Next Season

Don’t expect Chris Bosh to put on an NBA uniform this season. You probably were already expecting that. But it’s widely known that Bosh plans to fight the Miami Heat’s refusal to clear him for duty. We just weren’t sure when or how he planned on doing that. Apparently, though, he will wait to make [...]
