One of George Hill and Derrick Favors seems like they are going to get an extension from the Utah Jazz before this season is over. And it’s probably going to be Hill, according to ESPN.com’s Marc Stein: The Utah Jazz currently possess more than $13 million in cap space, which makes them even more interesting [...]

Damian Lillard is not happy with the Portland Trail Blazers. Following a 126-109 shellacking at the hands of the Houston Rockets on Thursday night, the Blazers are now 7-6, losers of three of their last five tilts, with a defense that ranks 29th in points allowed per 100 possessions, and an offense that barely places [...]

Michael Jordan is savage. Or just speaking a truth that has nothing to do with Kevin Durant, or the Golden State Warriors, or thinly veiled potshots. We’ll let you decide. His Airness spoke at Russell Westbrook’s induction into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame, an honor that was bestowed upon Durant just last year. During his [...]

On Thursday night, the New York Knicks got blasted by the Washington Wizards, who have arguably been the NBA’s worst team, relative to summer expectations, this season. Then, afterward, they were blasted by one of their own: Brandon Jennings. From the New York Post‘s Marc Berman: “We haven’t been locking in well on the road,” [...]

Uh-oh. The last thing the New Orleans Pelicans need is to experience life without Anthony Davis long term. Short term will suck, too. But they can deal with a few automatic losses that become blowouts that (probably) become 40-point drubbings. They cannot survive the season with him missing extensive time. They’re borderline unwatchable with him; [...]

Nerlens Noel is set to make his regular-season debut for the Philadelphia 76ers later this week. Which means the Sixers’ epically clunky frontcourt logjam is inching closer and closer toward full strength. Woooooooooot. From Philly Mag’s Derek Bodner: Sixers center Nerlens Noel, who underwent surgery to repair an inflamed plica in his left knee on [...]

Congratulations to the Dallas Mavericks, Memphis Grizzlies and Milwaukee Bucks for being absolutely awesome. According to Zach Lowe and Marc Stein of ESPN.com, none of these teams are expected to stay in Trump-brand hotels, the commercial child of president-elect Donald Trump, when they play in Chicago and New York: At least three NBA teams have [...]

Given how thin the Dallas Mavericks are on proven NBA contributors, they really can’t afford to lose any of their most dependable names. Which is why J.J. Barea’s calf injury sucks. Losing him would have always sucked, make no mistake. But it especially sucks now, with the Mavericks sitting at 2-8, their postseason hopes fading [...]

The Toronto Raptors had another “Drake Night” at Air Canada Centre on Wednesday, and it just so happened that they were playing host to the Golden State Warriors, the new home of Kevin Durant, a noted Drake friend and fan. But Durant was no friend or fan or groupie of Drake’s on Wednesday. He dropped [...]

The San Antonio Spurs are now 11 games into the post Tim Duncan era, a world in which they had not known since the 1996-97 season. They are 8-3 and mostly doing Spursian things but it still doesn’t feel right to not have Number 21 patrolling the middle and showing very little emotion outside of [...]
