Glen Taylor, owner of the Minnesota Timberwolves, is feeling nostalgic, and this obsession with the past could prevent president and coach Flip Saunders from trading Kevin Love. According to CBS Spors’ Ken Berger, Taylor is still wary of dealing Love, fully aware this reeks of the same bad juju that went down between the team [...]

The relationship between Derrick Rose and the Chicago Bulls is straight up weird. Toxic? Maybe. Ridiculous? Perhaps. Incomprehensible? Sure. But weird? Most definitely. Franchise stars and their teams normally see eye-to-eye. When they don’t, well, LeBron James’ first decision happens. Kevin Love and the Minnesota Timberwolves happens. Carmelo Anthony and the Denver Nuggets happens. Long-term [...]

Unconventional Woj bomb incoming. Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports was interviewed by blogger Aime Mukendi Jr. while at coach Mark Schmidt’s summer camp at St. Bonaventure. During the interview—which was pointed out to us by Hawks Hoops’ Buddy Grizzard and can be listened to here—Woj, well, he Woj-bombed all over the place about Greg Monroe’s [...]

When the entire LeBron free agency ordeal was going down, Chris Bosh was reportedly overseas on vacation.

If the press could manage to be more optimistic about a team with a 40-year old point guard, a 36-year old shooting guard, and a new coach, who hasn’t had a winning record since 2009, I haven’t seen it (at least not lately). New Head Coach of the Los Angeles Lakers Byron Scott: Welcome home! [...]

For as long as David Stern was commish of the league, he made it one of his duties to make the NBA a global brand. This is evident by way of preseason games in London and other international endeavors. Largely, he succeeded in his quest but of course, there are endless possibilities. Since he was [...]

Every player has a shelf-life and Metta World Peace’s has probably expired. He hasn’t garnered much attention this summer in terms of free agency and he’s probably already swung his last elbow in the NBA. Because of this realization, he’s entertaining an offer to play overseas. That’s not a bad idea for a guy like [...]
