Rumors

J.R. Smith has opted out of his final deal with the Knicks, allowing him to become a free agent. He could still return to New York, but is drawing interest from other squads. The Milwaukee Bucks are one team who has interest in Smith. Given his playoff performance after being suspended for elbowing Jason Terry, [...]

TNT Analyst and one of the greatest NBA Centers of all-time, Shaquille O’Neal, met this week with Sacramento King’s management team about some form of partnership where he will help to tutor Kings big man DeMarcus Cousins. Cousins is one of the premiere big men in the NBA, but is often viewed as raw talent [...]

The NBA continues to try and appeal to all corners of the globe. In doing so, they have played both regular season and preseason games overseas. Apparently the experiment has been working, because they will do the same again next season. However, this time, it will be in two different locations, rather than just one. [...]

Now that the Doc Rivers fiasco is done and over with, the Clippers are still looking to improve their roster. Doc is a good coach, but there are still holes in the roster that need to be addressed. Eric Bledsoe has been on the trade block for a little while, and the Clipps may need [...]

The day has finally come for Brian Shaw. It was nothing short of a kick in the gut when he was passed over by the Lakers for Mike Brown, leaving Shaw with no option but to take an assistant role with another team: Indiana. After two seasons working on Frank Vogel’s staff, Shaw has finally [...]

This is by far the strangest story we can think of involving the great Scottie Pippen. Sunday in Malibu, Pippen allegedly beat up an autograph seeker to the point where this man needed to be taken to the hospital. Pip has always seemed pretty mild-mannered, so I wonder if this guy said or did something [...]

Darko Milicic will forever be an NBA Draft punchline. Darko was somehow in the middle of LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh all being drafted in the top 5 in 2003. Darko was sandwiched right in between and went second overall, right before Melo, Bosh and Wade. In defense of Detroit, although [...]

Whether or not Doc Rivers forced this “trade” to the Clippers is unclear. But what we do know is that he wasn’t interested in being a part of a Celtics rebuild. Based on that information, the perception is that he was on board with this move. That doesn’t bode well for Doc with being welcome [...]

The NBA season is behind us, so now we shift our focus to the this week’s draft. This draft isn’t exactly stacked, so owning the #1 pick may not be as big of a deal. Therefore, the Cavs have been rumored to be willing to move that pick for the right price. However, the latest [...]
