Kawhi Leonard appeared at the Toronto Raptors’ Media Day full of awkward laughs, smiles and, relative to his typical demeanor, candor. This is to say, he wouldn’t commit to staying with the Raptors beyond this season, but he also said he’s looking for reasons to remain. From The Athletic’s Eric Koreen: No one in the [...]

Let the conjecture and rumor mill for Anthony Davis’s future begin. The 25-year-old superstar announced that he signed with Rich Paul and Klutch Sports (the agency that LeBron James has a business stake in which kind of feels like a conflict of interest) over the weekend. While not necessarily a dead ringer, a star athlete [...]

There has been one word to describe the Minnesota Timberwolves this off-season: drama. While some of the other elite talents from the 2015 NBA Draft class have agreed to extensions (Towns went No. 1), Towns turned down the Wolves max offer of five years, $158 million when it was first offered back in July. We [...]

Los Angeles Lakers head coach Luke Walton apparently needn’t worry about his job security if his squad gets off to a poor start to the 2018-19 regular season. That’s the message team president Magic Johnson and general manager Rob Pelinka have delivered to him anyway. From ESPN.com’s Ohm Youngmisuk: “As I was talking to Luke [...]

Even with his ACL injury in mind, Kristaps Porzingis seems like a near-lock to field max-contract offers as a restricted free agent next summer.

Thomas has not shown the ability to [...]

It sounds like Brandon Knight’s debut with the Houston Rockets will have to wait. After undergoing surgery on his left knee, the recently acquired guard is expected to miss “some time,” according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania: This is significant because it’s the same knee that caused Knight to miss all of last season with [...]

If both the New York Knicks and Joakim Noah get their way, the 33-year-old big man will not be a member of the team for that much longer. This has been the default refrain for quite some time. Noah is owed $37.8 million over the next two seasons, including this one, but doesn’t fit into [...]

While from a critically acclaimed movie, Space Jam was a one of a kind film that used the immense popularity of the game of basketball and it’s growth, led by its biggest star ever to lead the Looney Toons to lead an underdog team to beat the alien invaders and save our planet. Cheesy but [...]

You have basically been able to count on three things in the NBA over the past half decade plus, LeBron James will be in the NBA Finals, the Sacramento Kings will be bad and the 76ers 1st round pick will miss part or all of his rookie season. The last part is no different for [...]
