The 2014-15 New York Knicks won 17 games, and it’s not hard to see why. Injuries, specifically that to Carmelo Anthony, played a big role. So too did the lack of talent on the roster. The Knicks, quite simply, weren’t very good. But they were also needlessly dysfunctional, especially before team president Phil Jackson blew [...]

For months, both the Denver Nuggets and their point guard Ty Lawson have been wanting to part ways with one another. The Nuggets have been patiently looking at, and weighing all the options for them to find the best deal they could get.

He’s an off-court liability, and even [...]

Deron Williams is coming back home. Having been bought out by the Brooklyn Nets in order to decrease their payroll, Williams begins yet another chapter of his career in the league. This time, he’s decided to head back home and hopefully blossom with Dirk Nowitzki and the Dallas Mavericks. Both sides have reached a consensus [...]

Even though the NBA put pen to paper on a nine-year, $24 billion dollar national TV deal in October, and even though that TV deal will culminate in consecutively massive salary-cap spikes in 2016 and 2017, and even though teams handed out max contracts in 2015 free [...]

Carmelo Anthony and Phil Jackson are not in constant contact with one another. Everybody panic.
