Remove Nate Robinson’s name from the list of potential 2014 free agents. He isn’t going anywhere. The 5’9″ journeyman has played for six different teams over the last nine years. Most recently, he signed with the Denver Nuggets after having a fabulous season with the Chicago Bulls. Landing in Denver was good for Robinson in [...]

There are no tomorrows for Jermaine O’Neal. Nearly two decades into his NBA career, the 35-year-old O’Neal, playing in his first season with the Golden State Warriors, creates no illusions: This could be it. “This could be it,” O’Neal told Diamond Leung of the Bay Area News Group. “So this is my last chance to [...]

LeBron James never ceases to amaze. Just when you think you’ve seen it all, the Miami Heat superstar goes and torches the Charlotte Bobcats for 61 points. And just when you thought you’ve heard it all, James starts waxing regret about his failure to procure an NBA championship for former teammate Zydrunas Ilgauskas. James hopes [...]

This is why we love Phil Jackson. The Zen Master is honest, sometimes to a point of comedic relief. Unless he’s talking about the Detroit Pistons, of course, who I firmly believe he’s hoping will provide him with a long-awaited front office debut. When it comes to the Los Angeles Lakers, though, Jackson is an [...]

Carmelo Anthony is blind. You knew he was frustrated, what with the New York Knicks losing at warped paces. You knew he was probably even hardened, deadened to the fact that the Knicks are this listless and browbeaten one season after winning 54 games. But I bet you didn’t know he was blind to the [...]

More than one person is at fault for the New York Knicks. From the front office to the sidelines, there is no shortage of scapegoats. Coach Mike Woodson’s stubbornness, owner James Dolan’s attempt to dabble in business dealings he knows nothing about, J.R. Smith’s poor play, Raymond Felton’s poor shooting and defense and Tyson Chandler’s [...]

The Miami Heat of tomorrow aren’t going to come cheap. This, of course, will be assuming the Heat of tomorrow still comprise LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. If they do, then it’s going to cost Miami. Truth told, it was always going to cost Miami. Even if each member of the Big Three [...]

Will J.R. Smith ever learn? Vince Carter doesn’t care. Early in the fourth quarter of the Dallas Mavericks 110-108 victory over the New York Knicks Monday night, Smith yanked Carter’s headband as he was running down the court. Why? Because he’s J.R. Smith, headband-tugging, shoelace-untying extraordinaire. Video of the “incident” can be seen below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1lvd2VtY5Q#t=10 [...]

Rajon Rondo isn’t making tons of friends this week. That is, unless there are people inside and outside the Boston Celtics organization in love with the idea of miscommunication and stubborn refusals to provide explanations. News surfaced last weekend that Rondo skipped the Celtics’ trip to face the Sacramento Kings per The Boston Globe‘s Gary [...]

Danny Granger may be on the move. Again. Upon being traded from the Indiana Pacers to Philadelphia 76ers, you got the sense Granger, a former All-Star, wouldn’t be sticking around for long. And according to The Inquirer‘s Keith Pompey, that’s still expected to be the case: Danny Granger’s status with the 76ers could be resolved [...]
