The Sacramento Kings don’t understand no means no. Boston Celtics general manager Danny Ainge has repeatedly said that All-Star point guard Rajon Rondo isn’t up for grabs. That the Celtics plan to build around him. That he’s their future. True story. “I want to make sure Rondo comes back healthy,” Ainge told CBS Boston in [...]

Tanking isn’t in Derrick Rose’s vocabulary. Hell, rebuilding isn’t either. But it may have to be. According to the New York Daily News‘ Mitch Lawrence, Rose wants no part of a rebuild in Chicago: Rose has told several confidantes that he is worried that the Bulls will start to let the team hit the skids [...]

This is both weird and not so weird. The Houston Rockets are known to be shopping disgruntled center Omer Asik, but according to ESPN New York 98.7 FM’s and MSG Networks’ Alan Hahn, they may also be gauging value for Jeremy Lin as well. Audio of what Hahn said can be found here while a [...]

The writing has been on the wall for some time now, that potential Hall of Fame big man Pau Gasol could be playing his final minutes in a Lakers uniform this season. It has been a glorious ride, as Gasol was rescued from basketball obscurity in Memphis back during the ’07-’08 season, making an immediate [...]

Dirk Nowitzki is starting to see a pattern. It’s a pattern you’ve probably noticed, too. A well-documented, oddball pattern—the NBA’s Eastern Conference sucks. Like, it’s really bad. Horrible. Spit-in-your-face disgusting. Players know it. Teams know it. They have to. There’s no way they can’t. Few have voiced it publicly, though. Save for the Portland Trail [...]

Allen was the rat bastard traitor who left the Boston Celtics high and dry in 2012, spurning them for the Miami Heat and the opportunity to win a title. Rivers, who orchestrated his departure from Boston, is almost perfect. Or so says [...]

The New York Knicks are notorious for lusting after other people’s players (OPP). Now it seems they’re also interested in OPC—other people’s coaches. Head coach Mike Woodson has been on the hot seat ever since the Knicks began their current free fall. At 6-15 and sitting at the bottom of the Atlantic Division, he’s nowhere [...]

Bomb. Dropped. Pau Gasol, who will become an unrestricted free agent after this season, is in an awkward situation with the Los Angeles Lakers. He has been for quite some time. The Lakers have already tried trading him once, in a deal that would have landed them Chris Paul in 2011. There’s also the chance [...]

The 2013-14 Philadelphia 76ers came out on fire to begin the season, starting with a surprising opening night win over Lebron James and the 2 time defending NBA Champion Miami Heat. Despite losing prized rookie Nerlens Noel probably for the entire season, Michael Carter-Williams, the #11 overall pick in last year’s draft has arguably been [...]

Paul George has enough friends. He doesn’t need to invite LeBron James to his next birthday party. People tend to fuss over these two. LeBron being who he is, and all—face of the two-time reigning NBA champions. And George being who he is and all—face of the Miami Heat’s greatest Eastern Conference challenger. George’s rise [...]
