Jim Boeheim’s latest verbal foray into Carmelo Anthony’s free-agency decision is going to make Phil Jackson blush. The Syracuse head coach was exceedingly vocal leading up to Anthony’s free agency and recurrently admitted he wanted the All-Star forward to sign somewhere he could win. But Anthony signed in New York, where he’s not going to [...]

In the NBA’s never-ending, superstar-encompassing game of tag, James Harden is apparently it. During an interview with ESPN.com’s Scoop Jackson, the Houston Rockets and Team USA super stud dished on his ongoing development. The question and answer session is a pretty fun, informative read, so hop to it you consumers of digital media (CoDs for [...]

August and the NBA don’t together. News is typically slow this time of year, leaving fans and scribes to look for topics of interest and note. When the Kevin Love rumors aren’t flowing and the San Antonio Spurs offense isn’t running like a well-oiled, time-tested machine, that’s a ridiculously hard task. Benny Kriefall of Minnesota [...]

Kobe Bryant and Anthony Davis couldn’t seem more different off the court. One is a ruthless competitor, a vociferous murderer of rivals and rims, and championship-ring-bearing lunatic…in a good way. The other is a silent, rather stoic and shy workhorse with the versatility and wingspan necessary to do just about anything he wants. They’re different. [...]

Less than two years from now, when Kevin Durant is a free agent and he’s spouting off party lines about money not mattering, believe him. Because money won’t matter. Or at least it shouldn’t.

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! [...]

Byron Scott’s hire with the Los Angeles Lakers has been years in the making. So says Magic Johnson, anyway. The Lakers legend claims that the late owner told him he wanted Scott to coach the team someday, per For The Win’s Josh Peter: Byron Scott says he’s patient. But if he’d been more patient, he [...]

As you have heard by now, we are a month into NBA free agency and the Phoenix Suns and their 24-year-old do everything point guard Eric Bledsoe (or “Mini LeBron” as he’s called) are still far apart in their negotiations for a new contract for the restricted free agent. The Suns reportedly offered Bledsoe a [...]

The Chicago Bulls will want to remember this moment—the moment when we find out why Marc Gasol didn’t recruit his brother, Pau Gasol, to play for the Memphis Grizzlies. Speculation began early this year about the two reuniting in Memphis. Pau was a free agent. The Los Angeles Lakers were sucking wind. Zach Randolph might [...]

Despite being unable to land big free agents, LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony, the Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant is actually quite satisfied with Mitch Kuptchak’s efforts for the organization this summer, according to ESPN.com’s Ramona Shelburne. So far, the Lakers have lost key players this off-season, specifically their former center Pau Gasol, who [...]
