In a stunning move, the Cleveland Cavaliers have relieved David Blatt of his coaching duties, per Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! on Twitter: [tweet https://twitter.com/WojVerticalNBA/status/690638214307168256] [tweet https://twitter.com/WojVerticalNBA/status/690640304890867712] The Cavaliers are 30-11 and atop of the Eastern Conference, but you never got the sense that LeBron was thrilled with Blatt. It’s not fair to Blatt, as he [...]

The only thing moving faster than decreasing gas prices has to be the increase in NBA franchise values. Each time Forbes ranks NBA teams, it’s amazing at how far #1 has grown when compared to the previous ranking. When the Clippers were sold to Steve Ballmer, everyone fell out of their collective chairs at the [...]

With the kind of run Steph Curry has been on, it’s not surprising that he has the NBA’s top selling jersey. He’s young and trendy among kids. LeBron James is now the old man that everyone’s used to, so it makes sense that he trails Curry in jersey sales. And Kobe? Well, he’s the ageless [...]

The Cavs’ 34-point home loss to the Warriors is something they’d like to forget sooner rather than later. But how can they? Steph Curry boasted that he hoped Cleveland’s locker room still smelled like their victory champagne from last June, and Cleveland still came out and dropped a dud. The day after, there was a [...]

Over the past few years, the “Darling of the NBA” label that Kevin Durant proudly wore has taken somewhat of a hit. He has been very vocal about his displeasure with the media the power they have. His griping was probably the main reason why the NBA implemented their very own awards, voted by players, [...]

The Knicks are certainly a team on the rise, all is not necessarily well in New York. They are 20-21 in the East and will need to stay above water in order to make the playoffs in a much-improved East. If they don’t, will Derek Fisher be shown the door? Some media reports indicate that [...]

The Chicago Bulls are apparently sending a message to the rest of the NBA. It reads: “Let’s make a deal!” With a crazy logjam in the frontcourt, the Bulls have started to gauge the values of bigs Pau Gasol, Taj Gibson and Joakim Noah around the league, according to Bleacher Report’s Ric Bucher, as transcribed [...]

The Pelicans have turned down an offer of Rudy Gay in exchange for stretch four, Ryan Anderson. [tweet https://twitter.com/MikeAScotto/status/687694034194792448] Anderson is currently making $8 million but is in the final year of his contract and expected to cash in big time this summer with the oodles of money just waiting to be spent while Rudy [...]

Baron Davis was one the most physically gifted point guards of the last 15 years, but injuries claimed what could’ve been a very special career. The last time we saw him on an NBA court, his body went one way while his kneecap headed in another direction while with the Knicks. But Baron certainly hasn’t [...]

John Wall is in need of image reset. He’s one of the most electrifying point guards in the NBA, but he’s not as marketable as he could be. Sure he has a signature shoe deal, but you could argue he’s last on the pecking order of adidas pitchmen who have a signature shoe with adidas. [...]
