20-year-old Suns shooting guard and potential future star was a little frustrated along with the rest of the Phoenix Suns Wednesday night after a 120-104 loss. That frustration reached a boiling point with 17 seconds remaining in the game as Booker was ejected for saying something apparently none too pleasant to the referee. He was [...]

Independence Day 2016 will always live in infamy for the NBA and especially the Oklahoma City Thunder. That’s the day their leader, hero and face of their franchise exercised his independence as a free agent to join the rival Golden State Warriors, leaving his partner in crime Russell Westbrook and the organization he had called [...]

The Golden State Warriors have won two of their first three games, but as far as they’re concerned they might as well be winless. Head coach Steve Kerr intimated as much following the team’s 106-100 win over the Phoenix Suns on Sunday, a game that was much closer and left in doubt for far longer [...]

With J.R. Smith re-signed and Mike Dunleavy now on the roster, is Iman Shumpert expendable to the Cleveland Cavaliers? Cleveland, for its part, isn’t quite sure. But it seems to be leaning toward yes, according to ESPN.com’s Zach Lowe: Still: Keep an eye on Iman Shumpert. Several teams, including Minnesota, have inquired about his availability [...]

Mike D’Antoni doesn’t have to worry about ruffling James Harden’s feathers. His relationship with him, and his play style, is more similar to his dealings with Steve Nash than his experiences with Carmelo Anthony and Kobe Bryant. That’s been one of the knocks on D’Antoni—aside, of course, from his lack of defensive fortitude—over the past [...]

LeBron James’ deal with the Cleveland Cavaliers is (finally) done. Now it’s J.R. Smith’s turn. Technically, anyway. There hasn’t been much talk about him nearing a deal with the Cavaliers. Smith was believed to be seeking $15 million per year in his next contract, per Cleveland.com’s Chris Fedor. Cleveland apparently countered with an offer in [...]

The news came down on Tuesday, suddenly and surprisingly: Amar’e Stoudemire would be retiring from the NBA as a member of the New York Knicks. Maybe this shouldn’t have been too shocking.

All of you should know by now that the NBA made good on its stated intent to remove the 2017 All-Star Game from Charlotte if North Carolina’s House Bill 2 wasn’t overturned.
