Rumors

Kobe Bryant has never been afraid to speak his mind, even when he has nothing to do with a particular situation. Bryant recently opened up to SI and spoke on the topic of Deron Williams’ inconsistent play from a season ago. Kobe specifically referenced Williams going 0-for-9 in a loss to the Heat and simply [...]

Charlotte Hornets general manager Rich Cho announced today the signing of veteran power forward Jason Maxiell. And now, the training camp roster stands at 18. Maxiell, 31, played for the Orlando Magic last season and tallied 3.2 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks per game under 14.4 minutes. His freakish leaping ability and physical strength [...]

Another day, another injury—as the New Orleans Pelicans have announced today that their five-year veteran guard Tyreke Evans will be expected to miss 3-5 weeks with a strained right hamstring. He suffered the injury last week while playing pickup basketball somewhere out of town, according to GM Dell Demps New Orleans will definitely need Evans [...]

With the emergence of Steven Adams in the frontcourt for OKC, many wondered why Kendrick Perkins was continuing to get the starting lineup nod. But certain circumstances may be shaping up to change this. Perk has a strained quad and will miss the start of training camp. Who knows if that will bleed into the [...]

Last season, J.R. Smith drew much attention by untying the laces of opponents. While hilarious to some, others thought it to be childish. The league included, as they fined smith $50,000.

Dirk Nowitzki’s size and skill set makes him ungaurdable when his shot is falling. Guards are too small and big men aren’t quick enough. At the tender age of 36, Dirk is adding a new dimension to his game: a quicker release. I never considered his release to be slow, but this definitely can’t hurt: [...]

Darko Milicic being selected second overall in 2003 seems like a lifetime ago. The frustrating part is that he never showed a glimmer of anything during his entire NBA career. Bounced around from team to team, he became nothing more than a punchline. Darko has decided to call it quits and is retiring: Darko Milicic, [...]

For about three years now, Rajon Rondo has been the source of trade talks coming out of Boston. Partly because he’s tough to deal with and partly because the Celtics, who are rebuilding, could get a great deal in return for the point guard. But over the years, Celtics GM Danny Ainge hasn’t sounded quite [...]

Now that he’s in a new situation and no longer has to worry about trade talks, Andrew Wiggins can write his own story in Minnesota. He’s over there will a nice young core who can really get up and down the court. It should be fun times there pretty soon. However, it may take some [...]
