Rumors

According to ESPN’s Marc Stein, the Cavaliers appear to be very interested in free agent point guard Mario Chalmers. This makes complete and perfect sense for a number of reasons including the Cavaliers need for another veteran point guard after losing Matthew Dellavedova to the Bucks in free agency and Mo Williams to retirement. Also, [...]

Well you know the regular season is finally around the corner when you start to hear the free agency chatter for the upcoming off-season. We haven’t even gotten to game 1 of the 2016-17 season and the rumor mill is churning around one of the better young wing players (in a league devoid of them) [...]

Beginning in the 2017-18 NBA season, you will begin seeing advertisements on team jerseys. When this news first broke a few years back, it immediately made the skin on NBA purists crawl. The thought of that is seems very far from anything we’ve seen in major North American team sports. The 76ers were the first [...]

http://thehoopdoctors.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/demarcus-cousins.jpg DeMarcus Cousins’ up-and-down relationship with the Kings brass over the years has been well documented. If were just an average player, there really wouldn’t be much to discuss. But he’s arguably the best big man in the league, so that always makes these types of situations sticky.

LeBron has been very vocal about chasing the “ghost” of Michael Jordan. He’s not bashful about wanting to unseat MJ as the greatest basketball player ever. [...]

Kevin Durant’s addition in Golden State means we’ll see less individual greatness from Steph Curry and Klay Thompson. In Klay’s case, you could make the strong argument that he didn’t get the ball enough a season ago. He was very consistent for them down the stretch in the playoffs, and dug them out of some [...]

The Cleveland Cavaliers signed veteran guard Toney Douglas on Monday and J.R. Smith sent out a subliminal tweet letting us all know his frustration. Minutes later, Smith tweeted the following: The NBA season is about to start and the Cavs have yet to sign Smith to a contract. After helping them win their first ever [...]

Now that Kevin Garnett has retired, he’ll have to find something else to do keep himself occupied. Cavs head coach Tyronn Lue thinks he has just the thing. Lue is actively trying to recuit KG to be a part of the Cavs coaching staff. Even though he’s 40, Garnett has a young soul and would [...]

With each coach that Phil Jackson interviews, the topic of the Triangle Offense surely comes up. Derek Fisher implemented it and we’ll surely see Jeff Hornacek do the same. Phil is determined to never let it go, no matter how long it’s been since it has been successful for him. Derrick Rose is now at [...]
