NBA Free Agency

Every now and then—okay, all the time—an NBA player says something you know isn’t true. This is one of those times. Breaking his relative silence on the NBA and his future in it, Ray Allen dismissed the notion that it was the Cleveland Cavaliers and LeBron James or bust, according to the Boston Herald‘s Mark [...]

Never say Pat Riley didn’t try to replace LeBron James with the next best superstar. No, we’re not talking about Luol Deng, who, in a way, actually is LeBron’s replacement. We’re talking about Carmelo Anthony, who Riley says the Miami Heat chased to no avail after King James took his crown and his throne and [...]

The relationship between Derrick Rose and the Chicago Bulls is straight up weird. Toxic? Maybe. Ridiculous? Perhaps. Incomprehensible? Sure. But weird? Most definitely. Franchise stars and their teams normally see eye-to-eye. When they don’t, well, LeBron James’ first decision happens. Kevin Love and the Minnesota Timberwolves happens. Carmelo Anthony and the Denver Nuggets happens. Long-term [...]

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 [...]

Dwyane Wade doesn’t hold grudges. LeBron James doesn’t forget those who helped him win two NBA championships. The relationship shared between Wade and James—documented friends—has been dissected over and over since the latter left the Miami Heat for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Surely their friendship had to be on life support or entering a free fall. [...]

LeBron James is his own man. If there’s anything to take away from what you’re about to read, it’s that. LeBron isn’t a puppet. He is the one pulling the strings. He is the one making the decisions. He is the one who decided to leave the Miami Heat for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Much has [...]

Evan Turner has found a new home. SHUT FREE AGENCY DOWN. Or don’t. Whatever. It’s up to you. If you want to see what happens with Eric Bledsoe and Greg Monroe, keep it going. Anyway… Turner has come to terms with the Celtics, per the Boston Herald‘s Steve Bulpett: [tweet https://twitter.com/SteveBHoop/statuses/491323198030364674] Part of their mid-level [...]
