Gary Harris and the Denver Nuggets seem poised to make their commitment to one another official. According to CBS Sports’ Matt Moore, the two sides are “very close” to hashing out an extension before the Oct. 16 deadline: [tweet https://twitter.com/HPbasketball/status/912748073557938178] Locking up Harris now is a great move for the Nuggets. His asking price clearly [...]

It was all a ruse. Or so Kyrie Irving says. Remember when he stirred up the masses by copping to being a flat-earth truther on the Road Trippin’ podcast? Well, apparently, he was just kidding, as he told The Toucher and Rich Show: [tweet https://twitter.com/Toucherandrich/status/912390637726650368?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fftw.usatoday.com%2F2017%2F09%2Fnba-celtics-kyrie-irving-flat-earth-trolling] Jaylen Brown is going to be so upset. He didn’t necessarily commit [...]

T.J. Warren has somewhat of a throwback NBA game, he does most of his damage from mid-range and excels in the open court. He is what I refer to as an “offensive opportunist” as a guy who has a knack for being around the ball and putting himself in positions on the floor that set [...]

In a summer full of blockbuster trades, the one that may affect the NBA championship picture the most is the deal between the Celtics and Cavaliers that was finalized last month and featured Kyrie Irving and Isaiah Thomas as the centerpieces moving from the Cavs to the Celtics and vice versa. The main complication that [...]

Alan Williams is the very rare story of an undrafted player who was able to make his hometown team and establish himself as a valuable player for the organization he grew up rooting for. Williams made an immediate impact and carved out a role last season for the Suns, averaging 7.4 points and 6.2 rebounds [...]

This is fine. Nerlens Noel, who turned down a four-year, $70 million offer from the Dallas Mavericks in restricted free agency only to sign his one-year qualifying offer worth $4.2 million, will not get to spend his contract season as the starting center. That job, according to head coach Rick Carlisle, belongs to Dirk Nowitzki. [...]

The seven year saga that was Carmelo Anthony as a New York Knick is finally over. While there were some ups, and plenty of downs, the last year or two had been full of trade rumors as a frustrated Carmelo and an organization heading in a different direction lead to a strained union between the [...]

The Oklahoma City Thunder traded for Paul George. Then they signed Patrick Patterson. Then they wrapped up Andre Roberson on a very reasonable three-year, $30 million deal. And then they pulled off another heist for Carmelo Anthony. Sounds like enough to get Russell Westbrook sign an extension? Or at least say he plans on signing [...]

LeBron James seems like a pretty spectacular dude. So spectacular he’ll offer advice to a teammate-turned-member-of-the-Boston Celtics? Not so fast. James was asked on Monday during the Cleveland Cavaliers’ opening media availability whether he’s spoken with Kyrie Irving since he left. His answer was no. He was also asked whether he had any advice for [...]

Contrary to popular belief, Paul George does not have one leg in his Oklahoma City Thunder gym shorts, the other in a pair of Los Angeles Lakers garb. He is, right now, all-in with the Thunder—a position in which he could see himself staying, especially after the trade for Carmelo Anthony. As the All-Star forward [...]
