NBA Rumors

All this time we thought Carmelo Anthony was born to score. We were wrong. He was really a point guard-hopeful trapped in the body of a forward, gifted with the offensive chops of an unabashed, inside-out, 20-plus-shots-per-night chucker. But after 11 years of shooting and scoring, more shooting and scoring, and more shooting and scoring [...]

Steve Ballmer is officially the new owner of the Los Angeles Clippers. And it’s about damn time. News broke Tuesday that the NBA had finalized the $2 billion sale of the Clippers to Ballmer, the former Microsoft CEO: [tweet https://twitter.com/UnguardedCNN/statuses/499236420486459392] Once again, it’s about damn time. This, truthfully, couldn’t have been done any sooner. Not [...]

As if Andrew Wiggins’ life wasn’t already oceans of awkward. Kevin Love has been traded from the Minnesota Timberwolves to the Cleveland Cavaliers, according to Yahoo Sports’ Adrian Wojnarowski. But he hasn’t really been traded, because Wiggins himself cannot be traded until August 23 after signing his rookie deal. So the deal is done, but [...]

Less than two years from now, when Kevin Durant is a free agent and he’s spouting off party lines about money not mattering, believe him. Because money won’t matter. Or at least it shouldn’t. Not after he leaves Nike for a fatter than fat shoe deal with Under Armour. Per InsideMDSports’ Jeff Ermann: [tweet https://twitter.com/insidemdsports/statuses/496823892166467585] [...]

Nothing and no one can replace Paul George for the Indiana Pacers, but they already have their eyes set on acquiring some relief. According to RealGM’s Shams Charania, the Pacers are in play for veteran swingman Shawn Marion: [tweet https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/496757863961075712] Indy’s interest comes after George suffered an open tibia-fibula fracture in his right leg, basically [...]

Eric Bledsoe may try to regain control of his own future. Hopefully it won’t wind up costing him lots of money. According to ESPN.com’s Chris Broussard, it appears that Bledsoe could accept the Phoenix Suns’ qualifying offer rather than sign the four-year, $48 million deal they reportedly have on the table: [tweet https://twitter.com/Chris_Broussard/status/496773067264503808] This is [...]

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 [...]

Awkward. Although the Internet is alive with Kevin-Love-to-the-Cleveland-Cavaliers trade rumors, and although Andrew Wiggins remains the purported centerpiece of anything and everything the Minnesota Timberwolves would receive in return, the rookie still hasn’t been informed of any potential deal, according to CSNNW.com’s Chris Haynes: Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor told the St. Paul Pioneer Press to [...]

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 [...]
