The Cleveland Cavaliers are getting ready to use Dwyane Wade at point guard. Maybe. After the off-guard’s first practice wearing wine and gold, head coach Tyronn Lue said he gave him run at the 1 spot, per ESPN.com’s Dave McMenamin: [tweet https://twitter.com/mcten/status/913478641220227072] Note that this experiment came with the second unit, which could mean anything [...]

So about Andrew Wiggins’ five-year, $148 million extension with the Minnesota Timberwolves…We’ve yet to hear confirmation that he’s actually signed it, which is weird. The question is: Might this be a sign of something more sinister at play? Timberwolves coach-president Tom Thibodeau doesn’t think so, per Jerry Zgoda of the Star Tribune: [tweet https://twitter.com/JerryZgoda/status/913187813142577152] As someone [...]

The Cleveland Cavaliers’ loss is the Oklahoma City Thunder’s gain—in a big way. During an interview with SiriusXM, Carmelo Anthony revealed that both himself and Paul George were almost traded to the Cavaliers on draft night. Here’s ESPN.com’s Ian Begley with the details: Carmelo Anthony said in a SiriusXM interview that there was a trade [...]

Dwyane Wade may now be a member of the Cleveland Cavaliers, but he plans on donning a Miami Heat Jersey one more time before he retires, whenever that may be. As he told the Associated Press‘ Tim Reynolds: “Miami, the door’s always unlocked,” Wade told AP. “One day I want to retire in a Miami Heat [...]

Building up self-esteem is part and parcel of mentoring young NBA players. And, well, Ramon Sessions is doing one helluva job boosting the ego of New York Knicks rookie Frank Ntilikina. Although training camp is barely underway, and although Ntilikina is just 19 years old, and although Sessions hasn’t really spent that much time around [...]

The Oklahoma City Thunder have already done what the New York Knicks never could, or never wanted to, or never realized they should have done: officially move Carmelo Anthony to the power forward position. Best of all, the Thunder have the 10-time All-Star’s blessing to do it, per ESPN.com’s Royce Young: “I’ve been playing the [...]

LeBron James is stoked Dwyane Wade chose to sign with the Cleveland Cavaliers. This comes as a surprise to no one. The two are noted bros. They made four trips to the NBA Finals together with the Miami Heat. Everyone had Wade penciled in as a member of the Cavaliers before he ever reached a [...]

JaMychal Green and the Memphis Grizzlies do not appear close to finding common ground. The 27-year-old is the best free agent on the market, someone who many expected to secure a fat offer sheet from aggressive rivals. But the market turned on restricted free agents—just ask Nerlens Noel. And now, he remains unsigned, despite training [...]

The triangle offense is forever in New York. What, you didn’t think the Knicks would just stop running it because the system’s biggest advocate, Phil Jackson, is no longer in charge, did you? Because they haven’t. Kristaps Porzingis made that much clear after Tuesday’s practice, per Newsday‘s Al Iannazzone: [tweet https://twitter.com/Al_Iannazzone/status/912708704277028865] This obviously sounds bad, because [...]

Reunited and it feels so good, reunited like I knew we would… LeBron James and Dwyane Wade are back together on a basketball court once again, if only for a year. After being bought out by the Bulls, Wade didn’t take long to agree to a one-year, $2.3 million deal with the Cavaliers. [tweet https://twitter.com/BleacherReport/status/912791563490566145] [...]
