Rumors

Russell Westbrook has been pretty quiet since Kevin Durant left for Golden State. Russ has never been a big social media guy, but we have never received any sort of reaction from him. Until today. On the heels of Russ agreeing to sign an extension with OKC, Russ faced the media to talk about the [...]

In theory, Dirk Nowitzki should’ve always been a max player for the Mavs, and it should be that way until the day he retires. He’s meant that much to the organization. But Dirk has willingly taken less money along the way, in hopes that Mark Cuban would use that extra cash to recapture what they [...]

Derek Fisher going directly from playing in the NBA to coaching in the NBA was rare. Aside from Jason Kidd, he’s the only other guy to do this without any sort of break in between. But what might also set Fisher apart from former player-turned-coach, is that he’s now attempting to become the first player-turned [...]

Historically, the LA Clippers have been one of the worst franchises in all of North American team sports, but their luck changed about 5 years ago. Now, they’re consistently one of the best teams out west. No longer are they the little brother of the Lakers. They are easily the better, more entertaining team and [...]

We never got the impression that Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook were best friends during their eight years as teammates in OKC, so they certainly aren’t that now. KD has said that he doesn’t think his relationship with Russ will ever be the same and he’s probably right. Especially since, reportedly, Durant recently told Westbrook [...]

Former #1 overall pick in the 2006 draft Andrea Bargnani’s NBA shelf life has effectively expired. He was bought out by the Nets in February and has not been offered a deal by another NBA team since. Sensing he can no longer draw interest in the league, Bargnani has agreed to play for Saski Baskonia [...]

Kevin Durant’s departure from OKC was as sudden as it was unexpected. Jerseys were ablaze on social media within an hour of the shocking news on July 4th as the city no longer has any use for him. Durant was in OKC for 8 seasons (and another in Seattle as a rookie) and was the [...]

In an era where player movement happens so frequently, it’s rare to see a guy wants to stay in a city when he has a chance to leave and play in his hometown. Well, making more money by staying certainly helps. But when DeMar DeRozan decided to stay in Toronto and not even meet with [...]

Kyrie Irving and Dion Waiters were supposed to be the backcourt of the future when they were together in Cleveland. Kyrie always lived up to his end of the bargain, but that wasn’t always the case for Waiters. He was eventually shipped to OKC not longer after LeBron came back to town. In OKC, he [...]

The criticism aimed towards Kevin Durant will ultimately pass. It may take a few years, but people will eventually get over it. But that doesn’t make his move any less egregious. Durant is no doubt tired of talking about his new team and the one he left behind. He’d much rather talk about Team USA, [...]
