The NBA’s post-trade-deadline buyout market is about to get a lot more interesting. We have already seen Anderson Varejao sign with the Golden State Warriors, and it’s only a matter of time before Joe Johnson joins the Cleveland Cavaliers or Oklahoma City Thunder or some other contender in need of depth on the wings. Speaking [...]

Kevin Martin and the Minnesota Timberwolves aren’t speeding toward a divorce. They’re slowly, painfully, with the swiftness of a three-toed sloth, slogging toward a divorce. Martin has meandered in and out—mostly in—of the trade rumor mill over the last few weeks. He only recently returned to the rotation following a seven-game stint inside the “DNP” [...]

Kevin Martin probably hasn’t played his last game for the Minnesota Timberwolves. Then again, he just may have. Martin registered his third straight “Did Not Play” in Monday night’s loss to the San Antonio Spurs, and although he’s healthy, he shouldn’t expect to see more playing time—or any playing time—in the future, per Jerry Zgoda [...]

As the 2014-2015 NBA season gets underway, everyone already wants to know how it will end. Will the San Antonio Spurs repeat? Will Cleveland finally win one? When will big market franchises in the basement (Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Lakers, New York Knicks, and the Philadelphia 76ers) return to contention? Back on top, the Spurs [...]

While many of his teammates lamented the loss of Love and talked about how to move forward without him, K-Mart was still coming to terms with the fact this blockbuster trade existed at [...]

Someone, anyone, must explain the Chicago Bulls’ sudden infatuation with Kevin Love. After adding Pau Gasol to a frontcourt rotation that already includes Joakim Noah and Taj Gibson, and after basically removing themselves from the Carmelo Anthony sweepstakes by asking him to take a ridiculously large pay cut, the Bulls are apparently making a competitive [...]

Kevin Love would welcome the opportunity to play with LeBron James. Him, and a few hundred other NBA players. According to ESPN.com’s Andy Katz, the Minnesota Timberwolves reportedly rejected an offer for Love from the Cleveland Cavaliers that was built around the No. 1 pick in this year’s draft, which turned out to be Andrew [...]

On the heels of another delusional tirade by banned Clippers owner Donald Sterling, the Clippers lost 104-98 to the Oklahoma City Thunder. How? How does the team with the best floor leader (Chris Paul), the best coach (Doc Rivers), and best frontcourt (Griffin/Jordan) lose a playoff series? In the critical game 5, the Clippers blew [...]

One of the biggest surprises of the season has been the top-seeded Portland Trailblazers. We even shone some light on them in our weekly THD Video series. 7-year veteran LaMarcus Aldridge has expanded his game, and, as a result, he’s enjoying his best professional season. His running mate and partner in crime is 2nd year [...]

The Oklahoma City Thunder’s playoff and finals hopes collapsed abruptly when Russell Westbrook went down with a knee injury on April 24th in game 2 of the Thunder’s first round series against the Houston Rockets, after he was sideswiped by then rookie Patrick Beverly. Once James Harden was sent to Houston, many have proclaimed the [...]
