Kevin Durant signing with the New York Knicks in 2016 free agency is a pipe dream. Russell Westbrook joining New York as a free agent in 2017? Now that’s possible. Supposedly. Here’s Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports: The Knicks have a real chance to sell Oklahoma City’s Russell Westbrook in 2017 – New York and [...]

Plenty of NBA fans will miss Kobe Bryant when he hangs up his kicks for good after this season. And LeBron James is among them. Ahead of the Cleveland Cavaliers’ Wednesday night tilt with the Los Angeles Lakers, James described his respect for the Black Mamba and admitted that seeing him go at the end [...]

David Blatt could hate Tyronn Lue. He could see him as part of the reason why he lost his job with the Cleveland Cavaliers. He could resent him, despise him, ignore him, wholly refusing to acknowledge his existence, save for the occasionally subtle swipe at his character. Lue, after all, was Blatt’s assistant, and one [...]

That’s weird, and kind of annoying, knowing the Los Angeles Clippers won’t be trading him anytime soon, perhaps at all. Griffin is recovering from a fractured right hand he suffered when punching the team’s assistant equipment manager, [...]

Mike Dunleavy is back! Or, well, almost back. Dunleavy has yet to play this season as he rehabilitates a back injury that required surgery and included post-surgical complications.
