Joe Dumars and the Detroit Pistons have already done something the Milwaukee Bucks never did—made Brandon Jennings happy. Entering the fifth season of his NBA career, Jennings has shot better than 40 percent from the field only once, never made it out of the first round of the playoffs and been generally unhappy in Milwaukee. [...]

Paul George’s future with the Indiana Pacers isn’t an issue…because he has one. A bright one. Entering his fourth year in the NBA, George is eligible for a contract extension. The Pacers have until October 31 to iron out a deal with the league’s Most Improved Player, otherwise he’ll hit restricted free agency next summer. [...]

Brandon Jennings and Rajon Rondo will not be joining the Detroit Pistons. Apparently. Team president Joe Dumars denied that the Pistons were engaged in trade talks with the Milwaukee Bucks for Jennings, a restricted free agent, and the Boston Celtics for Rondo, who is still recovering from an ACL injury. “Bogus, bogus. No conversations.” Dumars [...]

Looking at the Atlanta Hawks, you just can’t help but shake your head. They let Josh Smith walk, which is cool. I was exhausted from writing about him, them and the rift that existed-but-didn’t-really-exist-except-it-did-exist between them. Snagging Paul Millsap was more than fine by me, too. He’s a talented forward who, with a little grooming, [...]

After already showing us three colorways of the upcoming Under Armour basketball sneaker due out later this year, Brandon Jennings once again takes to his Instagram account to give us an early look at the Spawn Anatomix Low. We’ve already seen fellow Team Armour member Kemba Walker lace up the regular-height Spawn Anatomix during EBC [...]
Monta Ellis is an enigma, but is he one that can make a worthwhile contribution on a contending NBA team? The volume shooting guard has peaked my curiosity since his days with the Golden State Warriors. He can score in bunches and sometimes seemingly at will. Other times, his shots are so off he seems [...]

Since Brandon Jennings was the first basketball player that Under Armour sponsored, its no doubt that he gets special treatment from the brand. If the Player Exclusive pairs of the Under Armour Torch or Under Armour Bloodline haven’t been proof of that, the multiple pair of the yet-to-be-released lowtop version of the Spine Bionic certainly [...]

The Atlanta Hawks elected not to trade Josh Smith leading into the NBA trade deadline, inaction that both infuriated the masses yet was unavoidable. After months of uncertainty surrounding Smith’s status with the team, it was believed he and the Hawks had reached the point of no return. Rumors were being fed left and right, [...]

Danilo Gallinari can score. Sometimes it’s pretty, sometimes it’s not. His game-icing bucket against the Milwaukee Bucks though was pretty—pretty damn wild. With the Denver Nuggets ahead by four and less than a minute remaining in the fourth quarter, Ty Lawson poked away an entry pass made by Brandon Jennings. Gallinari came up with the [...]

In the 2007-2008 season, the San Antonio Spurs were perpetrators of a no-frills style of basketball. Their defense was the third best in the NBA, allowing just 90 points per contest. Offense was more of a formality, evidenced by their 88 possessions per game average (good for 28th in the league). Words like “ugly” or [...]
