Can you imagine what Al Horford would do as a member of the Houston Rockets, under current head coach Mike D’Antoni? You almost didn’t even have to try. Leading into the Boston Celtics’ Monday night loss to the Houston Rockets, Horford admitted that he would have ended up in Texas if he didn’t sign with [...]

Breathe Memphis Grizzlies fans. Something is finally going right. Sort of. If everything were actually going right, Chandler Parsons, the team’s $94 million investment, would be fully healthy and on the court contributing. But he has appeared in just six games this season and been on the sidelines since Nov. 18 tending to a left [...]

For anyone who thought retirement crossed Dirk Nowitzki’s mind while he deals with a strained right Achilles, the 38-year-old has a message for you. LOL. Achilles injuries suck. They are brutal, and tough to come back from. If you rupture your Achilles, as Wesley Matthews, Nowitzki’s teammate, did at the end of his 2014-15 campaign [...]

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.

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 [...]
