Rumors

The mass exodus from Portland this summer was astounding. Some left on their own will, while other just weren’t asked to come back. The latter speaks to what happened to Wes Matthews. Wes was Portland’s “glue guy” but the free agent was never offered a contract by Portland. Understandably, that didn’t sit well with him. [...]

It had been rumored for a while now that Jerry Stackhouse has the coaching itch has been looking for a team to latch on as assistant coach. With all of these former players becoming a head coach with zero experience, it’s a wonder it took Stack this long. But he’s finally in and will be [...]

Playing for Team USA is a bigger commitment than fans think. Playing basketball at a high level year-round can really take a toll on your body. Especially when you play as much as LeBron James does. The rest during the summer is much needed, I’m sure. This is probably why he hasn’t made a decision [...]

Kyrie Irving’s knee injury in Game 1 of the Finals was devastating. We’ll never know what would’ve come of that series if he were able to go, but we can’t live thinking about what-ifs. But the good news for Cavs fans is that he’s off crutches and has been cleared by doctors to start working [...]

It’s no secret Kobe Bryant may not be the best teammate in the history of professional team sports. He can be too hard on guys and distances himself whether he intends to or not. And just because new guys join the team, don’t expect him to break his neck and reach out to them. We [...]

It won’t be today or tomorrow, but there will come a time when Mavericks fans will get over the DeAndre Jordan fiasco. Time heels all. But no guarantees on Mark Cuban getting over it, which is understandable. For the first time since flirting with the Mavs before ultimately going back to the Clippers, Jordan openes [...]

Josh Smith may not be the most reliable player on the offensive end, however, his defense and physicality was surely something that the Los Angeles Clippers desperately need. The former Rockets forward is reportedly taking his talents someplace else, and that place is going to be at the City of Angels with Chris Paul and [...]

It’s a wonder something as severe as Paul George’s leg injury hadn’t happened sooner. Granted, that did not take place in an NBA arena, but the basket stanchion, camera people, scorer’s table and fans are all way too close to the court.
