Charles Barkley is hoping Kobe Bryant knows when to call it quits. And he’s also hoping Kobe calls it quits after next season. While speaking with Frank Isola and Brian Scalabrine on SiriusXM NBA Radio (h/t Fox Sports), the former NBA star and current TNT analyst provided his thoughts on Kobe’s 20th season: I hope [...]

The Portland Trail Blazers’ offseason did not go as planned, and General Manager Neil Olshey knows it. Last summer, it was expected that they would retain LaMarcus Aldridge, re-sign Wesley Matthews, extend Damian Lillard and probably keep Robin Lopez, and then run it back with the same core for a few years until their title [...]

LeBron James’ feelings haven’t changed. He believes Tristan Thompson should remain with the Cleveland Cavaliers. That much has been clear for a while.

Carmelo Anthony, the basketball player, has come under a great deal of fire since the New York Knicks’ offseason kicked off.

Melo has already hit the Instagram comment sections once this summer to refute reports that he was [...]

The 2015-2016 NBA rookie class looks like it will be sneaky good, with players like Jahlil Okafor (Philadelphia), Karl Anthony-Towns (Minnesota), D’Angelo Russell (LA Lakers), and Emmanuel Mudiay (Denver) probably battling it out all season for Rookie of the Year honors next June. Recently all of this year’s rookie class got together for a photo [...]
