Like most players of note in the league, Green is on record as saying he thinks he the game’s best player. That alone isn’t attention-grabbing. But [...]

These days, Seattle is known more for football than basketball. Once upon a time, the NBA was really big in Seattle. This was back when the Supersonics were still a Seattle team. But then the franchise relocated to Oklahoma City, becoming the Thunder. It is Russell Wilson’s desire to reverse Seattle’s fortunes, though the US [...]

The Thunder stopped the bleeding last night and ended their four game losing streak by beating the Rockets 105-103 in Oklahoma City with what we now know as a typical super-human Russell Westbrook performance. It is clear that the Thunder are in need of a secondary scorer. Someone who can pick up some of the [...]

Russell Westbrook is putting up some ridiculous numbers so far this season. With Kevin Durant’s departure, we saw this coming. Even so, 32.0, 9.7 and 9.9 are hard to fathom. He has to do it all for his team, and when he’s out of the game, the team is borderline unwatchable. The team is 7-5 [...]

The Denver Nuggets really like Danilo Gallinari—enough, at least, to rebuff multiple trade overtures that have been made on his behalf. From Kevin O’Connor of The Ringer: With so much young talent, two highly valuable first-rounders in 2017, and future picks, the team is armed to make a push for a superstar if one becomes [...]

The NBA and the NBPA are apparently on the verge of hashing out a new collective bargaining agreement, which, for those of us who hate lockouts, is very good. This new CBA, however, might include an “Andre Drummond Rule,” which seems needless, bordering on bad. Here’s the lowdown courtesy of The Vertical’s Bobby Marks (h/t [...]

Dwyane Wade may not harbor much, if any, ill will toward the Miami Heat following his offseason departure, but he’s not exactly breaking bread with them, either.
