Dwyane Wade is back with the Miami Heat, and he’s genuinely happy about it. So happy, in fact, he doesn’t necessarily care about his role. He just wants to be in Miami. Even if it means coming off the bench. From the Associated Press’ Tim Reynolds: He raved about the player Heat guard Josh Richardson [...]

The Los Angeles Lakers did not trade for Isaiah Thomas with the intention of making him the starting point guard at the expense of Lonzo Ball. This really shouldn’t even be a question, and yet, for a hot minute, it absolutely was. His agent, Aaron Goodwin, told ESPN’s Rachel Nichols immediately after the trade that [...]

The Cleveland Cavaliers spread kerosene, lit a match and blew up about half of their roster yesterday. They essentially gave themselves a mulligan on their entire 2017 off-season in the process. Gone are both players that were acquired in the mega trade of Kyrie Irving to the Celtics. Isaiah Thomas is a Laker (for the [...]

The Hawks are in a full tear down, rebuild and tank mode. This means they have little use for veteran role players such as Marco Belinelli. The 31-year-old sharpshooter has been on the block the last few weeks as the Hawks try to deal him to a contending team in need of some more depth [...]

Isaiah Thomas is a free agent after this season, and if we take him at his word, he hopes to stick with the Cleveland Cavaliers into his next contract. Or at least past the trade deadline. The two-time All-Star point guard, who only recently made his Cavaliers debut following recovery from a hip injury, told [...]

Paul George continues to sound like someone who has no intention of leaving the Oklahoma City Thunder in free agency this summer. And he no doubt hates that we’re saying that. George’s appreciation for Russell Westbrook’s impassioned defense of his All-Star case—before he was named a an injury replacement—caught the eye of just about everyone. [...]

The Wizards have very legitimate chemistry issues. There have been multiple reports that have gone public about ineffective players only meetings (are they ever effective) and players taking veiled or not so subtle shots at other members of the team. Gortat is usually at the center of this as one of the more difficult personalities [...]

With the Los Angeles Lakers reportedly open to punting on this year’s free-agency class in favor of a 2019 talent pool that includes Kawhi Leonard (player option), Jimmy Butler (player option) and Klay Thompson, fans of the Purple and Gold won’t want to here this: Mychal Thompson, Klay’s father, doesn’t see his son leaving the [...]
