It’s been awhile since we’ve heard from Baron Davis. The 36-year-old point guard last played for the New York Knicks during the playoffs in 2012. That was the last time he stepped on the court before suffering a devastating right knee injury, which looked to be the end of his career in the league. However, [...]

So about that rift between Chris Paul and DeAndre Jordan… When Jordan first chose the Dallas Mavericks over the Los Angeles Clippers in free agency, his relationship, or lack thereof, with his point guard seemed to be the driving force behind said departure. Now, on the right side of his offseason flip-flop, it appears the [...]

Kobe Bryant will retire as a shooting guard. Next season, though, he’ll probably log most of his minutes at small forward. Some of his minutes might even come at the 4, too. Wait, what? The Lakers just have too many damn guards. Players will have to, well, play bigger than they stand. That’s the only [...]

It’s good to know that Daryl Morey always has James Harden and Dwight Howard on his mind. Well, maybe not always. But certainly before he pulls off a blockbuster trade, like the one he brokered Sunday night, when he acquired embattled Ty Lawson from the Denver Nuggets for a lottery-protected first-round pick in 2016 and [...]

When you know you’re wrong, you know you’re wrong, and J.R. Smith knows he’s wrong. Sort of. Rather than opting into the last year of his contract that would have paid him well north of $6 million next season, the Cleveland Cavaliers’ volume chucker elected to hit unrestricted free agency, probably thinking that he, like [...]

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. To no one’s surprise, several teams (Rockets, Lakers, and Pistons) showed enormous [...]

John Henson will be a restricted free agent next summer if he and the Milwaukee Bucks do not reach an agreement on a contract extension by October 31. Related: John Henson won’t be a restricted free agent. According to the Journal Sentinel‘s Charles F. Gardner, the Bucks and Henson are on the brink of striking [...]

One of these summers, the New York Knicks are going to stay out of the unflattering rumor mill. Not this summer, though. For a team that’s having an understatedly good offseason, even though they failed to nab another superstar in free agency, the Knicks just cannot escape the negatively charged conjecture bugaboo. This is mostly [...]

The Sacramento Kings are an off-court tire fire, but hey, at least they’re honest about it. Vice president of basketball operations Vlade Divac has openly discussed the growing rift between head coach George Karl and franchise cornerstone DeMarcus Cousins. Cousins himself has always been an interesting sound bite, and when rumors of discord between he [...]
