Rumors

Did New Jersey Nets rookie Mason Plumlee just leak the team’s plans to retire Jason Kidd’s jersey this season? Via The Basketball Jones from a transcription of a Bleacher Report interview with incoming NBA Rookies on how they will select their jersey numbers: “Mason Plumlee – I wanted 5, 5 is what I wore in [...]

It’s typical for guys to make adjustments part-way through their careers, but even this may be a bit extreme. Tristan Thompson from the Cavaliers is undergoing a change this offeason. He will change the hand in which he shoots with. That’s right, he will now shoot free throws and jumpshots with his right rather than [...]

Greg Oden will not be asked to score for the Heat. Coming in, his role is clearly defined. After three consecutive trips to the Finals, the Miami Heat roster works, even though it’s flawed. But Oden is supposed to rid the club of that flaw by adding size in the frontcourt. In his first comment [...]

Greg Oden is a large individual, which means he’ll eat up alot of real estate on the defensive end, and will also alter shots and grab rebounds. But he’s never been that polished of an offensive player. Perhaps working with the likes of Alonzo Mourning will help that. Since retiring, Zo has remained affiliated with [...]

When Brandon Jennings was traded to the Pistons, the logical assumption was that he’d be the starting PG. But hold on. That may not be the case necessarily. The Pistons have four PGs on their roster and one of them is named Chauncey Billups. Even though Chauncey is older, his game was never based on [...]

Michael Beasley finds himself in trouble once again. Once upon a time, people actually debated whether Beasley should’ve been drafted ahead of Derrick Rose in the draft a few years ago. A handful of teams and a few run-ins with the law later, that seems like a silly question. Michael Beasley has been arrested for [...]

Several years ago when the Cleveland Cavaliers acquired Mo Williams to be LeBron James’ running mate, he became a semi-household name and a pretty respected player. Mo is a solid NBA performer, but ever since LeBron left Cleveland, Mo has fallen off the map even though he’s just 30. I guess you can say that [...]

This new age of the NBA is one where former players have been mentoring the young bucks. Hakeem Olajuwon has been working on low post moves with current players so much that the Rockets officially hired him to do so with Dwight Howard. John Wall, fresh off of a max contract extension with the Wizards, [...]

Just because the Detroit Pistons acquired Brandon Jennings last week, that doesn’t mean they’ve lost interest in Rajon Rondo. Previously, the Pistons were rumored to be interested in both young PGs, but ended up with Jennings. According to reports, Detroit still has their eye on Rondo and could use Jennings as a chip to land [...]
