Another day, another chance for the New York Knicks to contradict themselves. Team president Phil Jackson has already pillaged through the roster’s limited talent supply, trading Iman Shumpert and J.R. Smith for jack. It’s widely known he may not be done either, which, in layman’s terms, means Jose Calderon better not get too comfortable. It [...]

Tristan Thompson was a high lottery pick by the Cavs a few years back, but it appears he may just be a very solid role player. Nothing wrong that. Every team needs those. But just because he’s perceived as a role player doesn’t mean that’s how he views how much he’s worth. Thompson reportedly turned [...]

The Boston Celtics’ fire sale continued when they got rid of Jameer Nelson for Nate Robinson. Well actually, Nate Robinson’s expiring contract that is. Robinson is being bought out which clears some cap space for the Celtics. Danny Ainge is apparently getting rid of anything that isn’t nailed to the ground. I like what he’s [...]

It was a memorable Tuesday night for the Minnesota Timberwolves, who were currently riding a 15-game losing skid. Not only did they get the win, but their point guard Mo Williams provided the best scoring performance in their franchise’s history.

The resurgence of Pau Gasol with the Chicago Bulls has certainly been fun and impressive to see, especially, when he dominated the Bucks by finishing the game with a career-high of 46 points and 18 rebounds just a few short nights ago. But on Monday night against the Magic, Gasol found himself at the wrong [...]

The New York Knicks want to trade Jose Calderon and Andrea Bargnani. No word yet on what their third and final wish will be. From ESPN.com’s Ian Begley and Marc Stein: The New York Knicks are actively trying to trade veterans Jose Calderon and Andrea Bargnani as part of their ongoing roster clear-out, according to [...]

Kevin Garnett is soooooooo suspended. Midway through the first quarter of Monday night’s bout between the Brooklyn Nets and Houston Rockets, Garnett got into it with Dwight Howard, because, well, Garnett has a tendency to get into it with a lot of people. Devin Kharpertian of The Brooklyn Game described the scene: It didn’t take [...]

LeBron James may have changed teams, but his popularity hasn’t trailed off one bit. The latest returns of top selling NBA jerseys are out and once again, LeBron is atop the list.
