Rumors

According to former ESPN columnist, Grantland and creator of The Ringer, Bill Simmons has reported that the Lakers will try to package their anticipated top-three pick in the 2016 NBA Draft for Pacers star forward Paul George. Don’t get me wrong this rumor is very juicy and very Lakers as the historically great franchise believes [...]

Frank Vogel has had success in Indiana as coach of the Pacers, but every coach has a shelf life with a team. His contract is up at the end of the season, but there haven’t been any talks about a contract extension just yet. Typically, both parties would’ve gotten a new deal out of the [...]

The Clippers had championship aspirations this season, but the injury bug bit them in the worst way this season. And that’s too bad, because this was the best this core had ever looked, and that was even without Blake Griffin for much of the season. There have been talks for a few years that the [...]

The second round match-up between Kawhi Leonard’s Spurs and Kevin Durant’s Thunder promises to be a good one. The favorites heading in are the Spurs, but don’t tell OKC that. They’re more than capable of advancing past the Spurs. And in all actuality, given Kevin Durant’s pending free agency, this may be the last time [...]

We can go ahead and file this in the “No Sh**t Sherlock” category of NBA news and rumors, but a report surfaced Wednesday, hours before the Rockets Game 5 match-up with the Warriors that Dwight Howard is likely bolting Houston this summer. If you had any doubt how enthusiastic Howard is about being a Rocket [...]

The playoff injury bug struck again Tuesday night. And to a team that can ill-afford an injury to their best player. The Celtics’ Isaiah Thomas left game 5 vs. the Atlanta Hawks with a sprained ankle and did not return. It was a completely freak injury. He drove the lane and landed awkwardly after converting [...]

The Pistons’ summer break has officially started as result of a 4-0 series sweep at the hands of the Cavs. But credit Detroit. In a few of those games, they played Cleveland very tough and gave them all they could handle. That was the case in game 4, as Cleveland barely won by 2. At [...]

The 2017 NBA all-star weekend is supposed to go down in Charlotte, but that may be in jeopardy. The Hornets were awarded this honor roughly a year ago, but Adam Silver is threatening pulling the plug in light of the news surrounding the state of North Carolina and the LGBT laws. A move would cause [...]
