Rumors

Congrats, Cavaliers fans: At least one person inside the NBA’s vast circle would be shocked to see LeBron James leave Cleveland in free agency this summer. From The Undefeated’s Marc J. Spears: “I wouldn’t be surprised if he stays in Cleveland now,” one high-ranking Eastern Conference team executive said. “The Cavaliers put a really good [...]

Some of the behind the scenes last minute trade talks that occurred between teams is starting to trickle out (at least rumors about it whether accurate or not) as we find out about the deals that were close to happening but ultimately didn’t get done after all. One of which was apparently a trade between [...]

It doesn’t look like Nerlens Noel is nearing the end of his brief tenure with the Dallas Mavericks. To be sure, the 23-year-old center can leave over the summer, when he enters unrestricted free agency. But he probably isn’t bolting before then. The Mavericks failed to trade him in advance of the NBA’s Thursday deadline, [...]

If Dwyane Wade can make his way back to the Miami Heat less than two years after leaving, then surely Vince Carter and the Toronto Raptors can sync up for a swan song following a 13-year relationship break. We’re not being the least bit facetious here. This is a distinct possibility if the right stars [...]

Jeff Hornacek’s job with the New York Knicks is safe through at least the rest of the season. Despite the team’s recent downturn, the organization has made it clear they won’t be making a change at head coach this year, per the New York Post‘s Marc Berman: Kristaps Porzingis is gone for the season, but Knicks [...]

Trading Blake Griffin apparently wasn’t a signal from the Los Angeles Clippers that they’re prepping for a full-scale teardown. If it was, they would be nearing deals to send DeAndre Jordan and Lou Williams to other teams in advance of Thursday’s trade deadline. Not only is this not the case, as of now, but the [...]

The Cleveland Cavaliers are apparently hoping the Los Angeles Clippers sell low on DeAndre Jordan. As they continue to make the Brooklyn Nets’ 2018 first-round picks off-limits in trade talks, the Cavaliers are trying to use their own first-round choice, plus some salary filler, to make a dent in advance of Thursday’s deadline. We know [...]

The Los Angeles Clippers already through the NBA for a loop by unexpectedly trading one marquee power forward, in Blake Griffin. Could the Orlando Magic be readying a similar move? Yes, we’re talking about exactly who you think we’re talking about: Aaron Gordon. The Magic are apparently testing his trade value around the league in [...]

The Clippers seem to be headed toward a complete rebuild and the fire sale is underway after trading Blake Griffin to Detroit this week (despite what Steve Ballmer may tell you). There are two other valuable veteran pieces on the trade block, guard Lou Williams and All-NBA center and longtime Clipper DeAndre Jordan. Jordan has [...]

The Los Angeles Clippers’ front office isn’t afraid to shoot its shot. Word broke in early January that the Clippers offered Blake Griffin to the Minnesota Timberwolves in a package built around Karl-Anthony Towns. Though many didn’t think much of it then, Los Angeles ultimately dealt its five-time All-Star to the Detroit Pistons on Monday, [...]
