Markieff Morris is having a weird few months. The Phoenix Suns traded his brother, Marcus Morris, to the Detroit Pistons in what was clearly a salary dump as the team attempted to become part of the LaMarcus Aldridge sweepstakes after signing Tyson Chandler. Marcus has since called the Suns out, leaving no doubt that he [...]

Yeah, so, the Jimmy Butler-Derrick Rose feud that isn’t needs to die. Sure, NBA rumor mills are relentless, and the Chicago Bulls’ dynamic duo, which has yet to spend 1,500 total minutes on the court since Butler entered the league, is not above that ruthlessness. But, like, come on. Enough speculation has been presented and [...]

Kobe Bryant is not universally loved. We’ve known this, of course, for a while. His personality can be tough to like, even difficult to overlook. He’s made a name for himself over the last 20 years as a psychopathic competitor who doesn’t have time to be bothered with normal shit, such as deep-seated relationships with [...]

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 [...]

Danilo Gallinari is ever the optimist. Even though he’s spent the last two seasons battling injuries, missing the 2013-14 campaign entirely, Gallinari isn’t down. Not that he should be. 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 [...]
