Kobe Bryant and Mitch Kupchak are on the same page. It’s just not the page you think. All along it’s been assumed the Los Angeles Lakers would be rabid free-agency players this summer, trying to make the most of Kobe’s fast-fading twilight by throwing money every which way at players of note. While they’ll still [...]

It’s almost like Marc Gasol knows what he’s doing or something. With the NBA’s 2015 free-agency pool nearly bereft of poachable talent, Gasol has long been viewed as the summer’s top prize. You can’t see LaMarcus Aldridge leaving Portland, or Goran Dragic abandoning Miami, or even Kevin Love spitting in LeBron James’ face. You also [...]

Lance Stephenson is having a bad season. Real bad. The Hornets went from low-end playoff team to a top-five Eastern Conference squad upon signing him. He made their defense stronger, and their offense more potent. It was a great signing. Yet the results have said otherwise. Injuries to Kemba Walker, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Al Jefferson and [...]

It’s definitely a sad Thursday night for Portland fans, as their beloved team just suffered a huge blow during their matchup against the visiting Mavericks. During the early part of the third quarter—their shooting guard Wesley Matthews received the ball, went for the drive, but unfortunately fell down with pain because of his left foot. [...]

The future is bright for the Milwaukee Bucks. As for the now, however, that’s not going so well. Heading into the Feb. 20 trade deadline, Jason Kidd’s team sported a solid 30-23 record—a vast improvement on the franchise-worst 15-67 mark suffered last season. There was little reason to make any changes to the roster. Now, [...]

Craig Sager returned to his rightful place courtside in the NBA tonight for the Bulls hosting the Thunder in Chicago. Sager has been sorely missed by NBA players, coaches, and fans alike over the past year as he has been battling cancer. Craig announced over the all-star break that he felt he was getting close [...]

JaVale McGee to the Boston Celtics? He wouldn’t. Not with him ostensibly negotiating a buyout with the Philadelphia 76ers just so he could play on a postseason-bound team. And they wouldn’t. Not with McGee’s track record, a resume rife with injuries, conditioning issues, inconsistent play and, at times, apparent mental lapses. Well, McGee would. And [...]

March 4, 2015, isn’t a day that will live in infamy, but it certainly was an eventful night around the association. From Anthony Davis etching his name into franchise lore to Russell Westbrook continuing his full-on domination of everyone and everything that steps in the way, some illustrious memories emerged from four NBA superstars. To [...]

The Denver Nuggets fired Brian Shaw, and neither Kevin Garnett nor David West is okay with it. West played under Shaw while he was an assistant with the Indiana Pacers. Shortly after the news broke on Tuesday, he was asked to respond. And so he did. Per Vigilant Sports’ Scott Agness: [tweet https://twitter.com/ScottAgness/status/572822756879945728] But David, [...]

The way Russell Westbrook has been playing over the last few weeks is not human, not from this world. He’s a man on a mission to single-handedly propel the OKC Thunder up the standings in the Western Conference. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, if the Thunder finish anything better than 8th [...]
