Remember all that “Manu Ginobili was considering signing with the Philadelphia 76ers if the San Antonio Spurs didn’t up their offer” stuff that was floating around last week? Surely it was a joke. Ginobili wouldn’t ever leave the Spurs. Especially for the Sixers. He would sooner retire. He probably just used Philly for leverage, even [...]

Should the Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers hammer out a Jahlil Okafor trade, it doesn’t sound like it will be a mutually beneficial deal. Going one step further, it doesn’t seem like the Sixers will emerge from any completed negotiations with much to show for their troubles, according to philly.com’s Keith Pompey: It doesn’t make [...]

It wasn’t long ago it seemed like the NBA would successfully avoid its second lockout in less than seven years. Both the league and the NBPA can opt out of the current collective bargaining agreement in 2017, though the side that opts out must notify its counterpart by December. But that didn’t matter. It felt [...]

Slow your roll on those Blake Griffin trade rumors, fam. The Los Angeles Clippers have other ideas. They, apparently, want to get another star (or five) to join their current nucleus, not willingly deal one they already employ to a rival NBA team. This latest dispatch comes from the Orange County Register‘s Jeff Miller: Doc [...]

Jae Crowder, it seems, isn’t thrilled about the Boston Celtics’ face-to-face meeting with Kevin Durant. And he has a point. From Mass Live’s Tom Westerholm: “We were the only team in the NBA to beat both (Cleveland and Golden State) on their home court — the only team in the NBA, the Boston Celtics,” Crowder [...]

Seriously, check out the whole thing, especially Rose’s response about his ability to play off the ball. But, by the end of the article, it did become clear that Rose [...]

After an incredible seven-game NBA Finals series between the league’s two biggest stars that captured the attention and imagination of the nation and another wild free agency period that kept the NBA at the top of the sports news cycle for a month, it is becoming exceedingly clear that the NBA may be as popular [...]

There have been rumblings for months that the NBA would pull the 2017 All-Star Game and festivities out of Charlotte if North Carolina legislators don’t change their recently enacted laws that discriminate against the LGBT community. According to The Vertical Reporter and Editor Adrian Wojnarowski, the NBA made good on their word and has decided [...]

There is a reason why the Houston Rockets renounced the rights to Terrence Jones, now of the New Orleans Pelicans, but not Donatas Motiejunas, who remains unsigned. He is a pretty hot commodity. Don’t let his current status fool you. D-Mo is a wanted man, per Fox 26’s Mark Berman: Forward Donatas Motiejunas would be [...]

With Tim Duncan retiring from the NBA, it’s only natural our attention start shifting to San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich. Sure, Manu Ginobili probably won’t play beyond next season. But Popovich and Duncan were synonymous with one another. It’s tough, in turn, to imagine one without the other. Maybe Pop will soon follow [...]
