Rumors

What a weird start of the season for rookies this year. It’s not often we see two potential rookie of the year candidates go down with season-ending injuries in the first half of the season. But that was the case with Julius Randle and Jabari Parker. In the case of Randle, he suffered a broken [...]

The Cleveland Cavaliers were already a vulnerable team around the rim on the defense and that has been magnified now that Anderson Verajao is gone for the year with a torn Achilles. Cleveland needs to fill that void quickly and it appears as if they’re looking to free agent Kenyon Martin. K-Mart would be a [...]

Geoge Karl and mark Jackson been rumored to be candidates to become the next head coach of the Sacramento Kings, but as of right now the team has reportedly decided to stay with interim head coach Tyrone Corbin for the remainder of the season. Mike Malone’s firing surprised many (including Malone), so there’s no sense [...]

It feels like he’s been in the league forever, but it’s hard to believe LeBron James is still in his 20s. That all changes tomorrow when he turns 30. For years, I’ve often wondered what LeBron James, the basketball player, would be when he began to slow down. While that may still be a bit [...]

Even at [...]

For the amount of talent he has, it’s rare that anything positive is said when Josh Smith’s name is mentioned. It’s usually followed by some sort of punchline of comment about 3-point field-goal accuracy (or lack thereof). From the onset, you never got the sense that Stan Van Gundy was a fan of Josh Smith.

Despite becoming somewhat of a household name within basketball circles towards the end of his final season in Indy, it appeared as if the team was growing weary of Lance Stephenson’s act. If that weren’t the case, maybe they would’ve offered him a bigger contract. But after only a few months in Charlotte, he has [...]

The Boston Celtics have finally done it. Amidst all of the rumors of trading Rajon Rondo, the Celtics pulled the trigger this evening on a trade of the star point guard to the Dallas Mavericks in exchange for players and picks. Earlier today we didn’t think the Celtics would do it, as it didn’t seem [...]

The hot start by the Golden State Warriors seemed almost too good to be true. Everything was falling into place and things were clicking. But now, they have been dealt a terrible blow with this recent news of Andrew Bogut’s knee. If they are ever able to get Bogut and David Lee on the court [...]
