NBA Rumors

If what we’re all about to read is true, the Miami Heat are being weird. In a bad way. Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald says that free-agent point guard Nate Robinson, who began this season with the Denver Nuggets and was then traded to the Boston Celtics and released, reached out to the Heat. [...]

Random NBA free-agency update incoming. Goran Dragic, one of the top prizes of this upcoming summer’s free agency, is still projected to be a hot commodity—specifically for the Houston Rockets and Los Angeles Lakers. From USA Today‘s Sam Amick and Jeff Zillgitt: Goran Dragic, the 28-year-old Phoenix Suns point guard, is no youngster, as he’s [...]

The Brooklyn Nets’ longstanding fire sale hasn’t seen them do any selling. Might the Miami Heat change their mind? According to ESPN New York’s Ohm Youngmisuk, the Heat are among the teams registering interest in a Brook Lopez trade: [tweet https://twitter.com/NotoriousOHM/status/555487146887618562] Trading any of their pricy pacts makes sense for the Nets. Whatever helps whittle [...]

Another day, another chance for the New York Knicks to contradict themselves. Team president Phil Jackson has already pillaged through the roster’s limited talent supply, trading Iman Shumpert and J.R. Smith for jack. It’s widely known he may not be done either, which, in layman’s terms, means Jose Calderon better not get too comfortable. It [...]

The New York Knicks want to trade Jose Calderon and Andrea Bargnani. No word yet on what their third and final wish will be. From ESPN.com’s Ian Begley and Marc Stein: The New York Knicks are actively trying to trade veterans Jose Calderon and Andrea Bargnani as part of their ongoing roster clear-out, according to [...]

Hypothetical NBA trades that don’t come true are the worst—especially those that would have been awesome. Like this one. According to ESPN New York’s Ohm Youngmisuk, the Brooklyn Nets and Oklahoma City Thunder talked shop on a deal involving Brook Lopez: [tweet: https://twitter.com/NotoriousOHM/status/552312545793826817] Nets Daily confirmed the rumor, which at this point, will never come [...]

Reggie Jackson is the player the Knicks almost had, even though they never really had him. Twitter was aflutter when the three-team deal between the Knicks, Cavaliers and Thunder began unfolding. Jackson was identified as the player the Knicks were taking back. But Twitter was wrong. The move was a salary dump; the Knicks gave [...]

Can’t believe we’re talking about this, but here it goes. As (probably baseless) rumors circulate about LeBron James’ future with the Cleveland Cavaliers, there has been limited uproar about some words he possibly shared with Dwyane Wade on Christmas Day. Below is a the video that started everything. Start watching around two and a half [...]

The New York Knicks aren’t ready to give up on their 2014-15 season. Which is weird. At 5-28, the Knicks are off to their worst start in franchise history. They have the most losses of any NBA team, and they look like a patented shit show. Mathematically, at 9.5 games back of eighth place, they’re [...]

Breaking: The Brooklyn Nets are still odd. Stuck in the throes of a season that has them contending for eighth place in the Eastern Conference, the Nets find themselves in a tough situation, footing an extravagant salary and luxury-tax bill for a mediocre product. Their next move, then, is obvious: Blow stuff up. Shop Deron [...]
