More than four years later, former Cleveland Cavaliers general manager David Griffin has no problems admitting the obvious: The team screwed up in 2013 by drafting Anthony Bennett with the No. 1 overall pick. Now, Griffin wasn’t the Cavaliers’ GM at the time, but he was among the front-office staff that convinced Chris Grant, the [...]

Get ready for a different spin on LaVar Ball’s outspoken demeanor. Plenty of people have criticized his bravado—particularly his serial sentiments on how his son, Los Angeles Lakers rookie Lonzo Ball, is already a star and already better than incumbent superstars such as Stephen Curry. Washington Wizards head coach Scott Brooks is not one of [...]

Everyone expects Eric Bledsoe to be on the move. The Phoenix Suns basically excommunicated him from the team and have been talking with a bunch of other squads about potential deals since his now-notorious “I don’t wanna be here” tweet. Most believe this saga will end quickly. It might have already reached its conclusion by the [...]

DeMarcus Cousins does not miss being a member of the Sacramento Kings. He’s actually sad he didn’t get to leave them sooner. While sitting down with The Undefeated’s Marc J.

Not in the [...]

Andre Drummond made the mistake of talking trash to Joel Embiid on Monday night, and it, quite predictably, didn’t end well for him. Embiid tallied 30 points, nine rebounds and two steals on 11-of-15 shooting—plus seven turnovers—in the Philadelphia 76ers’ 97-86 victory over the Detroit Pistons. Afterwards, when asked about getting the best of the [...]

Before re-signing with the Toronto Raptors on a three-year, $100 million deal over the summer, Kyle Lowry showed some love for the San Antonio Spurs. They did not reciprocate. From the San Antonio-Express News‘ Jabari Young: But one of the many NBA rumors floating around over the offseason was Lowry, a free agent at the time, [...]

Imagine your favorite NBA team spending the offseason peddling visions of investing in a young core only to then begin the schedule by benching a 23-year-old big who’s considered an integral part of the future. Granted, if you’re a New York Knicks fan, you don’t have to imagine anything. Because this is exactly what’s happening [...]

So much for the Houston Rockets being able to limit James Harden’s minutes. Part of what made Chris Paul’s arrival so appealing is what it meant for the team’s floor balance.
