NBA Rumors

New Orleans Pelicans general manager Dell Demps has very little job security. As in, no job security. As in, according to CBS Sports’ Ken Berger, the Pelicans may have already handpicked his replacement: Saints GM Mickey Loomis has taken on a greater personnel role above GM Dell Demps, but rival execs understand that move is [...]

No, the Orlando Magic are not willing to trade Victor Oladipo, their third-year guard out of Indiana, so stop asking. Not that you, good NBA general managers, were asking. But anyone even remotely convinced that head coach Scott Skiles’ decision to move Oladipo to the bench signaled that Orlando was ready to talk turkey should [...]

After spending each of the last two seasons hoarding assets in the form of picks, prospects and uber-reasonable contracts, the Boston Celtics are supposed to be in consolidation mode. And, in case you were wondering, they absolutely are. Consider the stance taken by team president Danny Ainge during his weekly appearance on 98.5 The Sports [...]

Ryan Anderson has dominated the NBA’s trade rumor mill almost as much as the Phoenix Suns’ Markieff Morris. And the New Orleans Pelicans, for the life of them, cannot figure out why. Or rather, head coach Alvin Gentry cannot figure out why. Per the New Orleans Advocate‘s Brett Dawson: Alvin Gentry says of Pelicans: "We've [...]

Derek Fisher apparently doesn’t have unconditional job security with the New York Knicks. No head coach, save for maybe Gregg Popovich in San Antonio, and perhaps Rick Carlisle in Dallas, can necessarily say that about their situation. You don’t get into the NBA coaching game if you’re looking for stability. But Fisher is only in [...]

When Mo Williams, now 33, signed with the Cleveland Cavaliers over the summer, he had to know that once Kyrie Irving returned from his fractured kneecap, he wouldn’t be a prominent part of the rotation. Or, um, maybe he didn’t know that. Williams has been receiving inconsistent playing time of late, a trend that dates [...]

Mike D’Antoni is already back on an NBA sideline, this time with the Philadelphia 76ers. This time next year, he could be back with the Phoenix Suns. Relations between current Suns coach Jeff Hornacek and team ownership isn’t great. The peeps upstairs canned half of his coaching staff, and the roster has imploded amid injuries, [...]

Sound the Derrick Rose alarm. The oft-injured Chicago Bulls point guard, who has missed each of the team’s last three games, all of which were victories, is slated to undergo an MRI on his sore right knee, according to ESPN.com’s Nick Friedell: Chicago Bulls point guard Derrick Rose will undergo an MRI on Monday on [...]

In search of a point guard not named Jose Calderon to direct their offense, the New York Knicks are turning attentions toward…Brandon Jennings. Yes, him. The one-time Knicks killer while with the Milwaukee Bucks only recently returned from an Achilles injury. He made his season debut for the Detroit Pistons against New York on Tuesday [...]

Markieff Morris may just net the Phoenix Suns something in a trade after all. Things between the combo forward and his team aren’t good. We know this. Morris’ play has arguably been just as bad, seemingly torpedoing his trade value. His effective field-goal percentage has never been lower, he just wrapped a two-game, team-sanctioned suspension [...]
