Mark Cuban refuses to let the Dallas Mavericks enter rebuilding mode. Er…what exactly would you call this, Mark? Asked about whether this upcoming season would be considered a rebuilding year for the Mavericks, Cuban told The Dallas Morning News rather eloquently that it wasn’t. Oh no. Hell no. Don’t even go there. Look, there’s no [...]

Metta World Peace never misses an opportunity to tell it like it is. Sometimes, he elects to tell it like it isn’t too, when he’s feeling particularly spunky. Mostly, he’s a source of incorruptible honesty, someone who isn’t afraid to say what everyone else is. And that hasn’t changed. Appearing on Fox Sports 1’s Crowd [...]

Before there was James Harden, there was Jeremy Lin. Remember that. Lin himself sure does. While at the “Dream Big, Be Yourself” youth conference in Taipei, Taiwan, Lin admitted that he believed he was going to be tasked with saving the Houston Rockets, according to The Gospel Herald’s Lauren Leigh Noske: I was ready to [...]

Turns out the Los Angeles Lakers don’t take too kindly to being slighted. Dwight Howard is more than a month removed from choosing the Houston Rockets over the Lakers and his decision is still making headlines.

Mark Cuban’s not sorry that he’s not sorry. Since his Dallas Mavericks won an NBA title in 2011, Cuban has taken a lot of flack for the decisions he’s made or simply allowed to be made. After Dirk Nowitzki led them to a championship over the Miami Heat, the team was essentially dismantled. Just like [...]

Oh what almost could have been for the Houston Rockets. Not that pairing Dwight Howard with James Harden wasn’t enough. For now—the Rockets still need one more star if they wish to contend for a championship—it is. But it could have been even better. According to ESPN Grantland’s Bill Simmons, Chris Paul threatened to leave [...]

Mitch Kupchak sure knows how to kill a party. While Jim Buss is predicting that Kobe Bryant will be ready to go in time for the preseason, Kupchak isn’t ready to make such a pledge. Really, he’s not prepared to make any sort of pledge. Speaking with reporters for the first time since Dwight Howard [...]

Marcus Camby dodged a bullet. Sort of. Upon being traded from the New York Knicks to Toronto Raptors, the 17-year-veteran went from being a member of a contender, to a lottery team. Camby was able to negotiate a buyout, though, leaving him free to play for the team of his choosing. According to Yahoo! Sports’ [...]
