There is a very real chance that the New York Knicks will double their win total from last season. The problem? They only snared 17 wins in 2014-15, and 34 victories won’t be anywhere near enough to clinch a playoff berth, the team’s primary goal, this season. And if Phil Jackson’s decision to fire head [...]

The Dallas Mavericks have, historically, been seduced by free-agent big men. Just last summer, they went hard after DeAndre Jordan and landed a verbal agreement, only to have him renege on his word shortly thereafter. Before that, in 2013, when Dwight Howard was a free agent, they entered the running for his services as well. [...]

Dirk Nowitzki has mad respect for Stephen Curry. He just has no desire to emulate him. Per Tim Cato of Mavs Moneyball: I asked Dirk about Steph last night pic.twitter.com/QEqAfgHqKo — tim cato (@tim_cato) February 29, 2016 So this is pretty much the standard answer when asked if you have any inkling, or even the [...]

Kobe Bryant’s selfless gift-giving tour is soldiering on. The soon-to-be-retired Bryant has been doling out goodies all season, whether it’s signed pairs of game-worn signature shoes or other players’ jerseys he’s adorning with his autograph. Tony Allen of the Memphis Grizzlies is the latest beneficiary of Bryant’s end-of-career generosity. Kobe gave him an autographed pair [...]

One game. That’s all it took for Joe Johnson to realize he wants to retire with the Miami Heat. I guess handing out beatdowns at the expense of the New York Knicks will have that effect on you. From Ohm Youngmisuk over at ESPN.com: Joe Johnson said he chose to sign with the Miami Heat [...]

Will Barton’s shot attempts are about to go through the roof. Danilo Gallinari, the Denver Nuggets’ leading scorer, is expected to miss an extended period of time after suffering a right ankle sprain against the Dallas Maverick on Friday, per The Denver Post‘s Christopher Dempsey: Nuggets coach Michael Malone said Sunday he expects veteran forward [...]

Steph Curry continues to amaze the basketball world with his never before seen mastery of the jump shot along with his lightning quickness and high level ball handling. One night after scoring 42 points including a few clutch buckets in a win in Miami, Curry took his traveling show to Orlando and had an even [...]

The NBA’s post-trade-deadline buyout market is about to get a lot more interesting. We have already seen Anderson Varejao sign with the Golden State Warriors, and it’s only a matter of time before Joe Johnson joins the Cleveland Cavaliers or Oklahoma City Thunder or some other contender in need of depth on the wings. Speaking [...]

Everything is totally OK with the Houston Rockets. Just kidding. Aside from being a complete disappointment on the court, vacillating in and out of the Western Conference’s playoff bracket, the Rockets have been dealing with some off-court stuff. Kevin McHale was fired a half-second into the season, and Houston reportedly shopped Howard to anyone who [...]

Kristaps Porzingis has a friend in Carmelo Anthony, and he doesn’t want to lose him. The NBA’s trade deadline has come and gone, but the rumors surrounding Anthony’s future with the New York Knicks is still a hot-button issue. Will the Knicks try to move him over the offseason? Will he request a trade? Should [...]
