The Denver Nuggets and their long-time point guard Ty Lawson are tired of each other. After failing to clinch the postseason for the second-straight year, Lawson seems to have gotten tired of waiting for the team’s management to turn things around for the franchise. A divorce was inevitable. Fortunately, both sides are on the same [...]

Oh look, it’s those pesky New York Knicks again. Ahead of and just after the NBA’s draft lottery, the idea of the Knicks trading their top pick—which ended up being No. 4—held some serious clout. Slowly, surely as the general public started to realize they wouldn’t land a superstar for that pick, the speculation dissipated. [...]

Nobody panic. While appearing on ABC’s NBA Finals broadcast Tuesday night—the Golden State Warriors are your 2015 champs, by the way—Dwyane Wade said something weird and unsettling. He talked about playing for the Miami Heat in the past tense. Here’s the clip (big h/t to SB Nation): https://vine.co/v/ee9dqYJwd2F “When I was in Miami…” Okay, fine. [...]

Jimmy Butler bet on himself earlier in October when he elected not to sign the contract extension the Chicago Bulls laid before him. Now he’s preparing to bet on himself again. That initial gamble paid off. The Bulls were slinging something like $10 million annually at the time, and Butler quickly established himself as a [...]

What if we’ve already seen the last of the 60-win Atlanta Hawks? It’s a crude thought. The East is still wide open after you account for LeBron James’ Cleveland Cavaliers, and the Hawks aren’t the blow-shit-up type. They will also have ample spending power if all goes according to plan and could, in theory, add [...]

Stephen Curry arrived just when the Golden State Warriors needed him. And now he has his team on the verge of its first NBA title in four decades. The Warriors visit the Cleveland Cavaliers Tuesday, up 3-2 in their championship series. Curry dealt the final blows in the Warriors 104-91 triumph on Sunday night and [...]

You might drive a more expensive car than Matthew Dellavedova. Bask in that preeminent pittance for a second. Okay, the second is over. Dellavedova has taken the NBA Finals by storm. The Cleveland Cavaliers sophomore, who went undrafted in 2013, helped his team jump out to a 2-1 series lead by playing aggressive defense that [...]

This past season, Australian native Ben Simmons was the unanimous choice as the top high school prospect in the nation for 2015, and as a result will be taking his talents to LSU to be a star freshman for the Tigers. Now that Simmons, and fellow top tier 2015 recruits like Skal Labissiere(Kentucky), Brandon Ingram(Duke), [...]

The supposed payoff of the Philadelphia 76ers “tanking” the past few seasons, winning just 37 games since 2013, was going to begin to show some promise this upcoming season as former #3 overall Draft pick Joel Embiid was set to make his NBA debut following missing his entire rookie year rehabbing a stress fracture in [...]

The Dallas Mavericks don’t get along with guards. At least that’s how it seems these days. They sent Rajon Rondo packing midway through their first-round playoff series with the Houston Rockets, and now they’re lower than low on Monta Ellis, who, relative to his time with the Golden State Warriors and Milwaukee Bucks, has played [...]
