Rumors

The Miami Heat gambled when they traded for Goran Dragic, because he seems poised to fully test the open market this summer when he becomes an unrestricted free agent. Despite the risk, Dragic is saying all the right things in terms of wanting to remain in Miami long-term. Worth noting that Miami will be able [...]

After much speculation over which team he would join this season, Ray Allen has decided not to play this season. Initially, it seemed like he would follow LeBron to Cleveland, but not even that was enough to entice Ray to play. You’d have to image we’ve seen the last of him even though he hasn’t [...]

Josh Smith spent nine seasons in Atlanta before ultimately signing in Detroit. That’s a long time and you’d think a player would develop a connection with a fanbase during that time. Not the case, however, for Smith. The Rockets visited Atlanta to take on the Hawks last night and Smith was soundly booed each and [...]

As if it couldn’t get any worse for Chicago, given Derrick Rose’s status, Jimmy Butler will also miss several weeks. Butler left yesterday’s loss to the Clippers with what was initially diagnosed as a possible [...]

DeAndre Jordan’s value to the Clippers can’t always be measured in the box score. When he’s not grabbing 20 boards a game or blocking multiple shots, he’s altering shots and clogging up the lane for the defense. It’s borderline criminal he has never been named defensive player of the year. His coach Doc Rivers agrees. [...]

Now that Chris Bosh has been ruled for the remainder of the season, the only thing (and most important thing) is to focus on his long-term health. Bosh was just released from the hospital after he was being closely monitored due to the revelation of blood clots on his lungs. As Erik Spoelstra has stated [...]

This recent Derrick Rose knee injury was initially said to be the least major of he his three knee woes. To that end, Rose underwent successful surgery and should be out just 4-6 weeks.
