Rumors

Maybe Luka Doncic won’t fall outside the top three of this year’s NBA draft after all. Once considered a potential No. 1 pick, the 19-year-old playmaking wing has seen his stock slip down big boards everywhere in recent months. The Phoenix Suns are expected to take Deandre Ayton first overall, and up until now, neither [...]

The Toronto Raptors are not done trying to make moves after naming Nick Nurse as their head coach. Sure, their cap sheet is a mess. It would be all too easy for them to run it back next season and hope another year of their reinvented offense yields different results. According to The New York Times‘ [...]

There might be a chance that neither the Los Angeles Lakers nor Los Angeles Clippers fully commit themselves to the Kawhi Leonard sweepstakes. Granted, it’s a slim chance. Hollywood in general is considered his preferred landing spot. But the possibility exists that neither team will throw everything they have, plus the kitchen sink, at the [...]

The end of Gregg Popovich’s illustrious tenure with the San Antonio Spurs may soon be coming to an end. Relax, he’s returning to the sidelines next year. Probably the year after that, too. But beyond the 2019-20? Not so much. According to ESPN.com’s Adrian Wojnarowski, those close to Pop do not believe he’ll still be [...]

It seems Kawhi Leonard and the San Antonio Spurs are going to be just fine—for real this time. According to the San Antonio Express-News‘ Jabari Young, head coach Gregg Popovich is expected to sit down with his franchise cornerstone sometime this week, with a decision on whether to sign Leonard to a supermax extension coming shortly [...]

Four teams are typically mentioned in the LeBron James free-agency sweepstakes: The Houston Rockets, Los Angeles Lakers, Philadelphia 76ers and Cleveland Cavaliers. People have tried making the Los Angeles Clippers, Boston Celtics and even the Miami Heat a thing, but this really appears to be a four-team race. Gregg Popovich, though, may be hoping to [...]

The Boston Celtics haven’t even had Kyrie Irving on their roster for a year, and yet they’re already afraid of losing him. During a conversation on Yahoo Sports’ NBA podcast with Shams Charania, Chris Mannix said that the organization is seriously worried about losing the All-Star point guard in free agency next summer when he [...]

Firing head coach Dwane Casey, the most successful clipboard-wielder in franchise history, may not be the only drama the Toronto Raptors author this offseason. Apparently, they’re open to trading, well, everyone. Here’s ESPN.com’s Adrian Wojnarowski speaking on the matter (via Def Pen Hoops’ Rob Lopez): And here’s Woj’s exact words, courtesy of Bleacher Report’s Alec [...]

On the heels of a Game 2 loss that put them in a 2-0 series hole, the Cleveland Cavaliers certainly didn’t want to hear this: Andre Iguodala is progressing in his return from a left knee contusion and plans to rejoin the Golden State Warriors before the NBA Finals conclude. Here’s ESPN.com’s Chris Haynes with [...]

So much for the Boston Celtics letting their roster ride into next season. Standing pat appears to make sense for the Celtics. Their roster is overloaded with talent, they came within one victory of an NBA Finals appearance and, above all else, they’ve yet to even see the best version of themselves. Gordon Hayward missed [...]
