NBA Rumors

For all those out there claiming the inevitable divorce between the Chicago Bulls and head coach Tom Thibodeau is going to be a long, drawn-out breakup, well, you’re right. It’s believed that the Bulls won’t give Thibodeau the ax or address the $9 million he’s owed over the next two years without having his replacement [...]

Bradley Beal is going to get paaaaaaaiiiiiid. Just not right now. After finishing up his third NBA season, the high-scoring shooting guard is eligible for an extension this summer. And though the Washington Wizards likely won’t offer one, they still intend to sign him to a max extension in 2016—you know, when they’re not-so-secret pursuit [...]

Take what you’re about to read with, um, an open mind. Following their epic collapse against the Houston Rockets, the Los Angeles Clippers are entering a pivotal offseason, one that should see them make substantial changes, perhaps wholesale tweaks, to a core that, as of now, just isn’t good enough. Some of the changes that [...]

Derrick Rose and Jimmy Butler may not have been playing nice when the Chicago Bulls went down in a haze of nothingness against the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 6 of the NBA semifinals. That’s the story anyway, as told by CBS Chicago’s Dan Bernstein: It made little sense that Rose attempted only four second-half shots, [...]

Dwyane Wade may join the rest of the NBA’s free agents this summer. You know, insofar as “free agent” means someone who will opt out of his current contract only to most definitely, without a shadow of a doubt, re-sign with his incumbent team. The Miami Heat superstar signed a two-year deal last summer, with [...]

It turns out the Brooklyn Nets won’t pay Deron Williams to go away. Williams has spent a turbulent four-plus years with the Nets organization, going from a recurring All-Star and staple in the best point guard conversation to an overpaid afterthought with ankles made of soggy tissue paper. The prospect of trading him has loomed [...]

Tom Thibodeau isn’t afraid to think about a future that doesn’t include the Chicago Bulls. Rumors regarding his future in the Windy City have been swirling for months. Years, even. Yahoo Sports’ Adrian Wojnarowski penned a piece recently in which he portrayed Thibodeua’s departure as inevitable. And so, barring a Bulls title, it feels inevitable. [...]

This feels weird. Never in my (somewhat short) career writing about basketball have I come across this many San Antonio Spurs rumors on an almost daily basis. It’s unsettling, and weird, and mind-melting, and clearly indicative how their current core, in its present state, is nearing its end. Keeping with that theme, we now know [...]

It seems the New Orleans Pelicans are still riding that “Hey! We made the playoffs for the first time since 2011” high. Being on the wrong end of first-round sweep isn’t something to typically celebrate—especially when, in all honesty, you probably wouldn’t have even made said postseason appearance if not for Fate tearing the Oklahoma [...]

DeAndre Jordan wants to be friends with Mark Cuban. With the Dallas Mavericks’ officially ousted from the NBA playoffs, they’re free to start planning for yet another crucial offseason. Dirk Nowitzki is pushing 37, Monta Ellis and Tyson Chandler are both free agents and the Rajon Rondo trade was bust. If the Mavericks plan on [...]
