Adam Silver Calls Playing for Team USA a ‘Big Risk’

Adam Silver Calls Playing for Team USA a ‘Big Risk’

Adam Silver only speaks the truth. Less than a year into his tenure as NBA commissioner, Silver has not held back.

Greg Monroe ‘Sought’ Trade to Thunder, Blazers

Greg Monroe ‘Sought’ Trade to Thunder, Blazers

Greg Monroe has apparently been doing anything and everything he can to escape the Detroit Pistons. Accepting Detroit’s qualifying offer—like he’s supposed to do—reeks of doubt and distrust and potential disgust. Rather than secure his financial future, he’ll likely play through next season at a ridiculous discount so he can explore unrestricted free agency in [...]

T-Spence, a sports radio host, tweeted this: [tweet https://twitter.com/tspence26/status/500931306599886848] It created some buzz, but not much.

Coach K Says D-Rose is ‘One of the Best Guys in the Whole World’

There are (roughly) 7,045,999,999 in this world who can’t touch Derrick Rose in Coach Mike Krzyzewski’s eyes. The Team USA head coach has strong feelings for the Chicago Bulls point guard.

What an NBA Division Re-Alignment Could Look Like

What an NBA Division Re-Alignment Could Look Like

August and the NBA don’t together. News is typically slow this time of year, leaving fans and scribes to look for topics of interest and note. When the Kevin Love rumors aren’t flowing and the San Antonio Spurs offense isn’t running like a well-oiled, time-tested machine, that’s a ridiculously hard task. Benny Kriefall of Minnesota [...]

Melo Wants to Be a Facilitator in Knicks’ New Offense
