NBA Rumors

It’s almost like Marc Gasol knows what he’s doing or something. With the NBA’s 2015 free-agency pool nearly bereft of poachable talent, Gasol has long been viewed as the summer’s top prize. You can’t see LaMarcus Aldridge leaving Portland, or Goran Dragic abandoning Miami, or even Kevin Love spitting in LeBron James’ face. You also [...]

JaVale McGee to the Boston Celtics? He wouldn’t. Not with him ostensibly negotiating a buyout with the Philadelphia 76ers just so he could play on a postseason-bound team. And they wouldn’t. Not with McGee’s track record, a resume rife with injuries, conditioning issues, inconsistent play and, at times, apparent mental lapses. Well, McGee would. And [...]

Breaking: We know what Ray Allen isn’t going to do. As for what he’s actually going to do, well, shut up. Focus on the small victories, however insignificant they seem. And this is a small victory. Per ESPN.com’s Brian Windhorst, the 39-year-old Allen won’t be finishing the NBA’s regular season with the Cleveland Cavaliers, if [...]

Jimmy Butler has a list of two NBA teams he would be willing to sign with this summer. The New York Knicks are one of them. Ahem: [tweet https://twitter.com/AnthonyMSG/status/571333395638317056] Because he’s already on the Chicago Bulls, we’re going to assume they’re the second team on his wish list. And because we’re also smart people who [...]

Just when you think that, maybe, just maybe, you might understand the extent of Kobe Bryant’s obsession with Michael Jordan, you find out you’re wrong. Here’s to being wrong. Kobe’s unhappiness with the Los Angeles Lakers shortly after they traded Shaquille O’Neal is well documented. He wanted out, because, well, the Lakers weren’t good enough. [...]

If your favorite NBA team is going to strip the Denver Nuggets of one of their best trade assets, it’s going to cost them. The Nuggets kinda, sorta took a step toward blowing their roster up when they traded Timofey Mozgov to the Cleveland Cavaliers for two first-round picks. But with guys like Wilson Chandler [...]

Amar’e Stoudemire’s time with the Knicks may finally be coming to an end. Almost a half-decade ago, the Knicks handed him a five-year, $100 million contract that has become the symbol for all that was wrong with the impulsive and reflexive and logic-eschewing franchise. The upcoming summer has long been the light at the end [...]

Someone needs to explain the Denver Nuggets to me. We’ve already talked about their purported interest in the Brooklyn Nets’ Brook Lopez—an injury-prone big man who may help their offense, but not their defense, and one who is overkill considering JaVale McGee, J.J. Hickson and Jusuf Nurkic are on the roster.  Now, they’re at it again. [...]

Potential blockbuster trade alert. Just kidding. What, you didn’t think I was serious, did you? From now on, assume everyone who says that is kidding. There has been so much action early on—significant, blockbuster action, mind you—it’s incredibly unlikely that any deals ahead of the February 19 trade deadline will fall into that category. More [...]

The Denver Nuggets are reportedly interested in trading for the Brooklyn Nets’ Brook Lopez. To this, I say: !@#$%^&UI Also: !@#$%TYUI And finally: !@#$%^&*I( Here’s The Denver Post‘s Christopher Dempsey with the deets: The Brooklyn Nets recently tried, unsuccessfully, to deal center Brook Lopez, which led to the franchise putting the brakes on the whole [...]
