The Indiana Pacers may be ready to move one of their key pieces. For all you hope-drunk folks out there, it’s not Paul George. It’s Monta Ellis, per Basketball Insiders’ Steve Kyler: Not sure there is much the Pacers have to offer without ripping up the core, which I do not see them doing. I [...]

Well, the Brooklyn Nets took their shot. Again. And they missed. Again. The Nets signed restricted free agents Allen Crabbe and Tyler Johnson to offer sheets over the summer. Both deals were matched by incumbent teams. Fast forward to December, and the Nets took a shot on unsigned restricted free agent Donatas Motiejunas. But his [...]

Sorry, Boston Celtics. Though A. Sherrod Blakely of CSNNE.com said that the Celtics would consider trying to trade for Andrew Bogut as a way of beefing up their defense, the NBA-worst Dallas Mavericks apparently aren’t having it, per ESPN.com’s Tim MacMahon: Sources tell ESPN that Mavs have no immediate intention to shop Andrew Bogut, as [...]

Can you imagine what Al Horford would do as a member of the Houston Rockets, under current head coach Mike D’Antoni? You almost didn’t even have to try. Leading into the Boston Celtics’ Monday night loss to the Houston Rockets, Horford admitted that he would have ended up in Texas if he didn’t sign with [...]

Breathe Memphis Grizzlies fans. Something is finally going right. Sort of. If everything were actually going right, Chandler Parsons, the team’s $94 million investment, would be fully healthy and on the court contributing. But he has appeared in just six games this season and been on the sidelines since Nov. 18 tending to a left [...]

For anyone who thought retirement crossed Dirk Nowitzki’s mind while he deals with a strained right Achilles, the 38-year-old has a message for you. LOL. Achilles injuries suck. They are brutal, and tough to come back from. If you rupture your Achilles, as Wesley Matthews, Nowitzki’s teammate, did at the end of his 2014-15 campaign [...]

Forget about DeMarcus Cousins. The Boston Celtics may have another big man in their sights. Andrew Bogut. Thirty-two-year-old, expiring-contract Andrew Bogut of the Dallas Mavericks, to be more exact, per CSNNE.com’s A. Sherrod Blakely: As the February trade deadline draws near, the Boston Celtics are expected to take a close look at adding a defensive-minded, [...]

Anthony Davis may be dinged up yet again. Following Sunday night’s loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, a game in which the New Orleans Pelicans scrapped and clawed until the very end, Davis apparently needed to undergo an MRI on his right foot, according to ESPN.com’s Royce Young and Justin Verrier: New Orleans Pelicans star [...]

If Derrick Rose has his way, he’ll be a member of the New York Knicks for a long, long time. The 28-year-old point guard will be a free agent over the summer, and the Knicks have already kicked around the idea of signing him to an extension. No matter when his next contract comes, Rose [...]

Here’s hoping Nerlens Noel fancies Voodoo Doughnut. The Philadelphia 76ers big man has been available for basically forever. The team has a frontcourt logjam with him, Joel Embiid and Jahlil Okafor all needing time at center. If it wasn’t for left knee surgery that has prevented Noel from playing this season, he would probably already [...]
