Rumors

Fresh off a championship run as a rookie head coach, Steve Kerr’s sophomore campaign will not begin as smoothly. Just as training camp opens up, the Warriors announce that Kerr will be taking an indefinite leave of absence from the team to deal with back issues. He’s had two back surgeries this summer and needs [...]

Mike Miller’s reunion with LeBron James was very short-lived. The former Cav had been a free agent this summer, looking for an NBA home. That has come by way of the Denver Nuggets showing him some love. The 35-year-old will provide a veteran presence off the bench on a team that has gotten noticeably younger [...]

Following his second DUI charge this calendar year, a few months ago, Ty Lawson was ordered by a judge to enter a rehab program for drinking. While all of this was going on, the Nuggets traded Lawson to Houston. Now that he’s in a new situation, he has the time to reflect on his off-the-court [...]

Derrick Rose is not going let a little ol’ orbital bone fracture shake his confidence. He may be ready to start the season (assuming he wants to) and he knows he’ll return to form. Per his college coach John Calipari, Rose feels he’ll return to playing at a high level. High enough to capture another [...]

The Chicago Bulls held their first practice of the new season on Tuesday and the result was less than desirable. It didn’t take long for Derrick Rose to get hurt. However, the good news was that he injured his face rather than his knees. Rose broke an orbital bone and will have surgery on Wednesday. [...]

Larry Brown hasn’t been at SMU very long, but the Mustangs have enjoyed some success under his watch. But perhaps that was illegal success. The NCAA has come down on Brown and NCAA for reported violations regarding the eligibility of one of their players. A former assistant men’s basketball coach encouraged a student-athlete to enroll [...]

Despite reports that Tristan Thompson has lowered his trade demands, both he and the Cavaliers failed to reach an agreement over the week, meaning he is still unsigned. As a result, he was not present at Cavs’ media day today and probably won’t be at their first practice tomorrow either. He has until Thursday to [...]

Marcus Morris was traded from Phoenix this past summer and his brother Markieff didn’t take that news very well. He felt betrayed that his brother and teammate was now gone. He even went as far as to pretty much demand a trade and say he future was not with the Suns. Perhaps he realized that [...]

Paul Pierce is nearing the end of the road, but still signed a 3-year deal with the Clippers in his native Los Angeles. But just because he’s inked for 3 years doesn’t mean he’ll hang around the entire time. If the Clippers manage to pull it off this season, Pierce will hang ’em up. [...]

Derek Fisher’s first year as head coach of the Knicks didn’t go too smoothly. But that was to be expected. Phil Jackson was busy gutting the roster in order to make cap space for guys who ultimately didn’t sign in New York, so Fisher wasn’t coaching in a stable environment. Nonetheless, Fish has apparently asked [...]
