Rumors

With Kevin Durant going down with a bum knee, the Spurs were no doubt licking their chops, as the #1 seed in the West seemed to be theirs for the taking. But that possibility has taken a hit with this recent news that LaMarcus Aldridge will be out for an indefinite period. The 31-year-old big [...]

It must be a humbling experience to be waived in the middle of an NBA season. No buyout. Just paid to go away. That was the situation with Brandon Jennings last week. Phil Jackson had apparently seen enough, and must’ve figured that Jennings’ $5 million salary doesn’t hurt the bottom line enough to fight over [...]

New location, same DeMarcus Cousins. As you’d expect, he’s still the same fiery competitor in New Orleans playing alongside Anthony Davis as he was as the focal point in Sacramento.

Mark Cuban has never been one to bite his tongue, so why should he start now? For a while now, there has been bad blood between he and the Lakers brass. Those ill feelings apparently continue now that Magic Johnson and Rob Pelinka are now the new President of Basketball Operations an General Manger respectively. [...]

Ever since entering the league, Kyrie Irving has been regarded as one of the best ball handlers. And in recent years, many say he’s the best in that category, along with Steph Curry. Steph is no doubt crafty with the ball, but his handling is not quite of the same caliber of Kyrie. Both Paul [...]

Intrepid ESPN Reporter and longtime inside source close to LeBron James, Brian Windhorst was on The Lowe Post podcast recently and gave an interesting peek into the defending champs state of mind heading into the trade deadline last week.

Suns General Manager Ryan McDonough was on Arizona Sports Radio, 98.7 FM on Friday and let it be known that the Suns had discussions and were presented with an offer from an unnamed eastern conference team that involved each team swapping three of their best assets. Here is McDonough’s quote from the Doug and Wolf [...]

If the New York Knicks had their way, Derrick Rose would be playing for the Minnesota Timberwolves. Alas, Timberwolves coach-president Tom Thibodeau “balked” at giving up Ricky Rubio in exchange for his former point guard, per ESPN.com’s Marc Stein: [tweet https://twitter.com/ESPNSteinLine/status/834861961439358976?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw] Here’s more from ESPN.com’s Ian Begley: For much of Thursday afternoon, the Knicks and [...]

Talk about your extensive about-faces. The Atlanta Hawks seemed ready to hold a fire sale back in January after they traded Kyle Korver to the Cleveland Cavaliers. But then they took everyone off the chopping block. And then, leading into Thursday’s trade deadline, they traded for Ersan Ilyasova. And then, after that, they targeted Jimmy [...]
