These days, Seattle is known more for football than basketball. Once upon a time, the NBA was really big in Seattle. This was back when the Supersonics were still a Seattle team. But then the franchise relocated to Oklahoma City, becoming the Thunder. It is Russell Wilson’s desire to reverse Seattle’s fortunes, though the US [...]

The Thunder stopped the bleeding last night and ended their four game losing streak by beating the Rockets 105-103 in Oklahoma City with what we now know as a typical super-human Russell Westbrook performance. It is clear that the Thunder are in need of a secondary scorer. Someone who can pick up some of the [...]

Russell Westbrook is putting up some ridiculous numbers so far this season. With Kevin Durant’s departure, we saw this coming. Even so, 32.0, 9.7 and 9.9 are hard to fathom. He has to do it all for his team, and when he’s out of the game, the team is borderline unwatchable. The team is 7-5 [...]

There isn’t a more uncomfortable position in sports than to be a considered a “bust.” Because for the rest of your life, no matter what you do, that’s how the masses will remember you. It’s unfair, but very true. You’re probably not ever going to be able to get a job with a team, or [...]

The NBA rumor mill keeps churning as reports are surfacing from numerous news outlets that many NBA executives feel that DeMarcus Cousins could be traded soon.

Some pretty explosive reports are coming out of the bay area Monday morning. According to the man, the myth, the legend, White Mamba AKA Brian Scalabrine, now working for the Boston Celtics, resident Splash Brother Klay Thompson could be on the market. Scalabrine told Sirius XM Radio Monday morning that he is hearing Thompson is [...]

The Denver Nuggets really like Danilo Gallinari—enough, at least, to rebuff multiple trade overtures that have been made on his behalf. From Kevin O’Connor of The Ringer: With so much young talent, two highly valuable first-rounders in 2017, and future picks, the team is armed to make a push for a superstar if one becomes [...]

The NBA and the NBPA are apparently on the verge of hashing out a new collective bargaining agreement, which, for those of us who hate lockouts, is very good. This new CBA, however, might include an “Andre Drummond Rule,” which seems needless, bordering on bad. Here’s the lowdown courtesy of The Vertical’s Bobby Marks (h/t [...]

Dwyane Wade may not harbor much, if any, ill will toward the Miami Heat following his offseason departure, but he’s not exactly breaking bread with them, either. As Wade told reporters ahead of the Chicago Bulls’ clash with his old team, he hasn’t even spoken to Heat president Pat Riley since leaving, per ESPN.com’s Nick [...]

Josh Smith was once one of the more exciting players in the league, while thriving in Atlanta. But he hasn’t found any luck since leaving the Hawks. He has bounced around quite a bit, all while shooting ill-advised 3s, and now he’s without a team. When we last saw Smith last season, he was coming [...]
