Derrick Rose will not be taking a discount to remain with the New York Knicks or join another NBA team this summer. Or so he thinks. The point guard, who went missing just before the Knicks’ Tuesday night loss over the New Orleans Pelicans, will apparently seek a five-year max deal when he becomes a free [...]

If there was ever a chance that DeMarcus Cousins would be traded before this February’s deadline, it died with the inclusion of the Designated Player Exception in the new CBA. Because of the new rule, which comes with stipulations, Cousins will be eligible to receive a five-year extension from the Sacramento Kings this summer that’s [...]

On a recent episode of ESPN’s The Lowe Post podcast, Zach Lowe intimated that everyone on the Miami Heat’s roster could be had via trade—even Hassan Whiteside. The news was a revelation. Goran Dragic’s name has meandered in and out of the rumor mill, but that’s to be expected. He turns 31 in May; he and the Heat [...]

It finally happened fam: Former Philadelphia 76ers general manager/author of “The Process” tallied an All-Star vote on Joel Embiid’s behalf. Granted, Hinkie’s ballot was not unsolicited; Embiid coerced him into action with this tweet: [tweet https://twitter.com/JoelEmbiid/status/818936573756665856] Sam Hinkie responded with this shortly thereafter: [tweet https://twitter.com/samhinkie/status/818954355227267072] Hot damn, that’s a lot of votes in one shot.

For those of us who thought Rajon Rondo’s situation with the Chicago Bulls couldn’t get any weirder, it turns out we were wrong. Leading into the Bulls’ Tuesday night loss to the Washington Wizards, Rondo hadn’t played in the last five games. A scheduled rest day for Dwyane Wade plus Jimmy Butler’s absence forced him back into [...]

Kevin Garnett is back in the NBA. To consult with the Los Angeles Clippers. KG was spotted at Clippers practice on Tuesday, working with big man DeAndre Jordan, per Bleacher Report’s Josh Martin: [tweet https://twitter.com/JoshMartinNBA/status/818882215144624128] Rowan Kavner has the official details over at Clippers.com: Garnett helped the Clippers at training camp earlier this season, offering [...]

The current proliferation of many of the NBA’s biggest superstars in a few markets, LeBron, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love in Cleveland, Kevin Durant, Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green in Golden State, Chris Paul and Blake Griffin in Los Angeles, is bittersweet for the league and for your average NBA fan. On one [...]

Ty Lawson is not the player he was before leaving the Denver Nuggets. Far from it. There are nights when you see his quickness and evasiveness in its fullest forms, moments when you hearken back to his days as a fringe All-Star and, despite his diminutive frame, one of the most electric point guards in [...]

Well, this is a new one. Minutes after the New York Knicks tipped off their eventual loss to the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday night, it was announced that Derrick Rose, who was conspicuously absent from the starting five, was no longer with the team for undisclosed reasons. The Vertical’s Adrian Wojnarowski provided some context: [...]

It looks like the Atlanta Hawks won’t be sellers at the trade deadline after all. For now. After trading Kyle Korver to the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Hawks moved Paul Millsap to the chopping block. But, roughly one second later, they took him off, according to The Vertical’s Adrian Wojnarowski: For now, Atlanta Hawks All-Star forward Paul [...]
