Well, you can’t say you saw this one coming. The Brooklyn Nets will not be bringing back P.J. Carlesimo to coach the team next season, which means they’ll have to seek out their third head coach in the last year. Could Jerry Sloan be that coach? Deron Williams won’t rule it out (via Stefan Bondy [...]

The NBA’s coaching carousel continues and Detroit is front and center. The club fired Lawrence Frank last week and their search is well underway. Former Blazers coach Nate McMillan has been on the team’s radar ever since they let Frank go, and the two sides will meet today. McMillan has been widely regarded as the [...]

Well they did it. The Lakers made the playoffs. And in impressive fashion. A few weeks ago, most analysts thought it wouldn’t be possible for them. But the Lakers went on a tear to close the season, winning 8 of their last 9 games, including their final 2 games without star Kobe Bryant who went [...]

According to Paul Coro of the Arizona Republic, the Oklahoma City Thunder are talking to the Phoenix Suns about a potential Kendrick Perkings and Gortat swap: Much of the Suns’ trade talk seems to have simmered down as the Thursday 1 p.m. deadline nears, [...]

The lack of chemistry is glaringly hard to miss. The Lakers have witnessed regressive communications between their two most talented players, and it doesn’t seem to getting any better.

David Falk took a minute from his come-back as an NBA super agent to let everyone know what he thought of John Wall. First and foremost comes the question as to why Falk-and consequently, his opinion-even matters. David Falk was Michael Jordan’s agent. Additionally, he was sort of the John Calipari of his time, the [...]
