Stealth free-agent recruit mode activated. While everyone was zeroing in on the Los Angeles Lakers’ meeting with Carmelo Anthony on Thursday, general manager Mitch Kupchak flew the coop. Literally. According to the Los Angeles Times‘ Mike Bresnahan, Kupchak left for Cleveland after speaking with Melo, which presumably means he’s hoping to meet with LeBron James: [...]
So that was fun…for some teams. The 2014 NBA draft lottery is over. Finished. Kaput. Next stop, the NBA draft. Well, first we need to finish the Conference Finals. And crown an NBA champion. Then it’s on to the NBA draft. Here are some thoughts for each lottery team, along with their draft position, on [...]
Despite what some of us may think, the Cleveland Cavaliers aren’t fools. If a top NBA superstar becomes available, they’re going to have interest. Naturally, they have interest in Kevin Love, who basically requested a trade from the Minnesota Timberwolves, according to Yahoo! Sports’ Adrian Wojnarowski. To be certain, he didn’t actually request a trade. [...]
Doug McDermott doesn’t think the San Antonio Spurs are boring. Across casual NBA circles, the Spurs aren’t always held in high esteem. The age, boring, humdrum, they-must-be-flawed-because-they-just-must-be narratives remain overplayed and, unfortunately, prevalent. Diehards know better. Media members know better. Smart people know better. McDermott, who is preparing to enter the NBA after four years [...]

Granted they missed the West playoffs by 1 game, but if the city of Phoenix were located east of the Mississippi River, they would’ve been the 3rd seed in the east. For his efforts and tremendously improved play, [...]

Gregg Popovich’s Spurs continue to fly under the radar and I’m willing to bet he prefers it that way. Despite not always being talked about, his accomplishments are not being overlooked. For the third time in his career, Pop has been named coach of the year. He joins only Pat Riley and Don Nelson as [...]

Folks, you made it. Congratulations. The NBA regular season is over. It’s done. Finished. Finito. And good riddance. Don’t get me wrong, this season was crazy. Downright exciting. But it also sucked. It sucked so freaking hard. More than it’s sucked in the past few years. Did it rival the 2011-12 lockout-truncated season? Shit, I [...]

Damn. What’s a four-letter word for “this totally sucks, but it wouldn’t have sucked if it had happened a tad sooner?” Yeah, let’s stick with damn while really thinking about dropping F-Bombs. In untimely fashion, the New Orleans Pelicans announced Thursday that Anthony Davis and Eric Gordon will miss the remainder of this season: The [...]
