NBA Rumors

After losing DeAndre Jordan to the Dallas Mavericks, the Los Angeles Clippers are scrambling to ensure they still field a Western Conference juggernaut for the 2015-16 campaign. Next summer, apparently, they’ll be scrambling to sign free-agent-to-be Kevin Durant. They and 29 other NBA teams, that is. Unlike most of those 29 other teams, though, the [...]

Los Angeles Lakers president of basketball operations Jim Buss may soon be out of a job. Unless, of course, the Lakers start playing and winning like the Lakers again.

There is only one word to describe the free-agency dalliance between LaMarcus Aldridge and the Los Angeles Lakers: awkward.

LaMarcus Aldridge is planning on leaving the Portland Trail Blazers. Probably. Maybe. We think.

Daryl Morey’s Houston Rockets are at it again. Whiffing on Chris Bosh and Carmelo Anthony hasn’t quelled their appetite for superstars. And, frankly, why would it?
