Forget about DeMarcus Cousins. The Boston Celtics may have another big man in their sights. Andrew Bogut. Thirty-two-year-old, expiring-contract Andrew Bogut of the Dallas Mavericks, to be more exact, per CSNNE.com’s A. Sherrod Blakely: As the February trade deadline draws near, the Boston Celtics are expected to take a close look at adding a defensive-minded, [...]

Anthony Davis may be dinged up yet again. Following Sunday night’s loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, a game in which the New Orleans Pelicans scrapped and clawed until the very end, Davis apparently needed to undergo an MRI on his right foot, according to ESPN.com’s Royce Young and Justin Verrier: New Orleans Pelicans star [...]

If Derrick Rose has his way, he’ll be a member of the New York Knicks for a long, long time. The 28-year-old point guard will be a free agent over the summer, and the Knicks have already kicked around the idea of signing him to an extension. No matter when his next contract comes, Rose [...]

Here’s hoping Nerlens Noel fancies Voodoo Doughnut. The Philadelphia 76ers big man has been available for basically forever. The team has a frontcourt logjam with him, Joel Embiid and Jahlil Okafor all needing time at center. If it wasn’t for left knee surgery that has prevented Noel from playing this season, he would probably already [...]

James Harden is playing out of his mind, and he knows it. Asked for his own MVP pick by SI.com’s Ben Golliver, the 2014-15 MVP runner-up didn’t hesitate to name himself—in a manner of speaking: Harden didn’t pause or blink when asked for his own MVP pick. He simply nominated himself. “The Beard,” Harden told [...]

Donatas Motiejunas’ foray into restricted free agency didn’t go as planned. Not only did the Houston Rockets fail to offer him a contract he deemed acceptable, but he hasn’t gotten one from another team, otherwise, you know, he’d be playing in the NBA. But that seems like it’s about to change. According to the Houston [...]

Four years with LeBron James apparently wasn’t enough for Dwyane Wade, so he’s open to coming back for more. When LeBron James first left the Miami Heat in 2014, that was supposed to be it. He and Wade spent four seasons together. Made it to four NBA Finals. Won two championships. They played together, in [...]

Watching Giannis Antetokounmpo play, there is really only one glaring weakness to his game: the absence of an outside shot. And he may be prepared to change that. Fielding questions after the Milwaukee Bucks’ 111-93 victory over the Brooklyn Nets on Thursday night, Antetokounmpo got nuanced when talking about his shooting form. Then someone mentioned [...]

Don’t feel bad about firing up the trade machine and sending DeMarcus Cousins all over the NBA. He doesn’t mind. This isn’t to say he wants to leave the Sacramento Kings—though, let’s face it, he probably, if secretly, does. At any rate, he doesn’t mind the rumors, the ones he hears but doesn’t actually address. [...]

We may not have seen the last of Sam Hinkie in an NBA front office. The former Philadelphia 76ers president/general manager/author of The Process has become something of a cult hero for his extremist approach to rebuilding the team he has since left behind. Whether or not you agree with him, you know him. And [...]
