June is here and you know what that means: unfounded NBA rumors are in the air. Disgruntled Minnesota Timberwolves superstar Kevin Love—who has basically requested a trade even though he really hasn’t—was in Boston recently, so naturally that means he’s poised to join the Boston Celtics by way of trade or 2015 free agency.

According to ESPN.com’s Chad Ford (subscription required)—with special thanks to the folks over at RealGM—the Cavs are looking to use their top selection as trade bait, and [...]

This Los Angeles Lakers coaching search hasn’t been much fun. All along, the assumption was that the Lakers would make a splash by inking a big, flashy, oh-my-god-did-they-really-sign-him? name. Instead of action and visions of grandeur, though, there have been the same old recurrent, drab rumors that have them interviewing prospective candidates like Mike Dunleavy, [...]

Dwyane Wade won’t let you put the blame for LeBron James’ free-agency decision on him. Maybe Akron will. But Wade won’t. People haven’t stopped talking bout LeBron’s free agency this year. It’s most definitely not as bad as the 2009-10 campaign, when he was trapped in the utter, star sidekick-less hell known as Cleveland, but [...]

Dear Donald Sterling, Please just go away. Signed, A lot of people The Los Angeles Clippers owner is making headlines again—which isn’t to say he ever stopped making headlines. He hasn’t. Not since he was recorded making racially charged comments and banned from the NBA for life. This time, though, he’s looped Kobe Bryant into [...]
