Byron Scott, head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers, cannot see Kobe Bryant, a career-long member of the Los Angeles Lakers, playing for another team other than the Los Angeles Lakers. Well, that’s surprising. In absolutely no way. New York Knicks team president Phil Jackson sent Twitter into a miniature tizzy at the start of [...]

Hi, LaMarcus Aldridge. This is your new coach, Gregg Popovich, speaking. Welcome to the San Antonio Spurs. Now, sit down and shut up. Sounds about right, doesn’t it? The Spurs’ newest championship cog missed a training-cap workout on Tuesday with what San Antonio called “leg tightness.” For the record, it was not his decision. He [...]

DeMarcus Cousins is not writing off the Sacramento Kings. Or himself. Through Cousins’ first five NBA seasons, the Kings have not only failed to make a single playoff appearance, they’ve yet to even win 30 games. Despite another offseason infected with rumors and marked by turnover, Cousins thinks that can change. Per Bleacher Report’s Kevin [...]

Bradley Beal, much like his back court sidekick John Wall, has clearly mapped out his goals for this season. Entering his fourth year in the league, Beal finds himself in an odd position. He’s looked like a dominant offensive scorer at times, and a slightly inefficient chucker at others. He’s flashed dominant defensive promise, and [...]

Kawhi Leonard doesn’t do celebrations. Not even when there’s almost $100 million involved? Not even when there’s almost $100 million involved. The 24-year-old signed a massive extension with the San Antonio Spurs this past summer, one worth nearly $95 million over the next five years. And when he finally put pen to paper on said [...]

He played well during FIBA Eurobasket, and the Denver Nuggets signed him to a two-year extension worth around $34 million over the offseason. Tack on his [...]

George Karl wants DeMarcus Cousins to know that he’s sorry…for the media. Ever since Karl took the reins in February as the Sacramento Kings’ newest head coach, rumors of discord brewing between he and Cousins have littered the web. That chatter has been denied to no end, because, you know, that’s what happens. But, over [...]

Chris Bosh is back, and he’s the same as ever. Bosh made his return to the floor on Sunday night in the Miami Heat’s preseason opener after missing the tail end of last season with a blood clot on one of his lungs. And, well, he looked good. But he sounded even better. Bosh went [...]

Carmelo Anthony has no plans to abandon the New York Knicks. Part of that’s because he’s under contract for the next four years. On top of that, he owns a no-trade clause, giving him final say over where he could be traded, severely limiting the number of suitors the Knicks can contact, as well as [...]

LeBron James has a message for Tristan Thompson and the Cleveland Cavaliers. Hurry up. James caused quite a stir on Saturday night when he posted a picture of himself and Thompson at the wedding of a mutual friend with the caption “Get it done!!!!” Some interpreted the picture as him trying to play general manager [...]
