In an era where player movement happens so frequently, it’s rare to see a guy wants to stay in a city when he has a chance to leave and play in his hometown. Well, making more money by staying certainly helps. But when DeMar DeRozan decided to stay in Toronto and not even meet with [...]

Ty Lawson sounds like a guy ready for a return to stardom. It’s difficult to believe that barely a year has passed since he played like one of the NBA’s top point guards, as a member of the Denver Nuggets, in 2014-15.

What is happening with the New York Knicks right now? Seriously, what? People pretend like they know, myself included. They don’t. I don’t. Team president Phil Jackson went from being obsessed with hiring Kurt Rambis, the triangle offense and this idea that the Knicks don’t need a high-end point guard to win, to giving the [...]

Is free-agent-to-be Kevin Durant coming to meet with an NBA team near you? Well, no. He’ll be taking the meetings, not going on some free-agency tour. Will your favorite team get face time?
