Kevin Love believes. Talk of 2015, when Love will be a free agent and likely courted by the New York Knicks and Los Angeles Lakers, among others, kind of makes you forget that there’s another team who will be competing for Love’s services—the Minnesota Timberwolves. Minny’s quest to retain Love has already started. David Kahn [...]

Success never comes easy to the Minnesota Timberwolves. For what feels like forever, the Timberwolves bordered on laughable or just not good enough. Preseason expectations have often toed the line of nonexistent since Kevin Garnett left. They were rarely equipped to win 25 games, let alone contend for a playoff spot in a loaded Western [...]

Nikola Pekovic still hasn’t signed anything, which is only weird because Brandon Jennings has. Of all the free agents, especially restricted free agents, most wouldn’t have thought Pek would be the last big name to sign. He should have been one of the first. After averaging 16.3 points and 8.8 rebounds last season, a deal [...]

Per The Oklahoman‘s Darnell Mayberry, the Thunder are unlikely to retain the veteran shooting guard: I’ve always liked Lamb’s potential. But while I [...]

Kevin Martin’s tenure with the Oklahoma City Thunders stands to live on. We think. With the volume-scoring guard set to explore unrestricted free agency upon season’s end, much has been made of his future, or lack thereof, in Oklahoma City. Not because of his performance, though. He’s averaging 14.3 points on 44.9 percent shooting (42.6 [...]

Kevin Martin was essentially considered a one-year rental upon joining the Oklahoma City Thunder, but he may now be here to stay. Most scoffed at the notion of him replacing James Harden as the end-all for Oklahoma City’s bench, yet he’s thrived off the pine and the Thunder are just as dominant (if not more) [...]

James Harden must be the most conflicted player in the NBA. His former team, the Oklahoma City Thunder are a league-leading 24-6, while his current team, the Houston Rockets are 17-14 and headed in a different direction. While he watches his former teammates try to chase down a championship; Harden’s Rockets are trying to chase [...]

The Washington Wizards are no strangers to making bad decisions, which is why it should come as no surprise that they passed on the opportunity to acquire James Harden. According to Michael Lee of The Washington Post, the Oklahoma City Thunder would have agreed to send their combo guard to the Wizards in exchange for [...]

James Harden is off and running with the Houston Rockets, but there is a new elephant in the Oklahoma City Thunder’s locker room in the form of Kevin Martin. The high-scoring shooting guard came to the Thunder in what was, to say the least, a painstakingly difficult Harden trade. Oklahoma City was hard-pressed to relinquish [...]
