NBA Rumors

Kevin Martin’s tenure with the Oklahoma City Thunders stands to live on. We think. With the volume-scoring guard set to explore unrestricted free agency upon season’s end, much has been made of his future, or lack thereof, in Oklahoma City. Not because of his performance, though. He’s averaging 14.3 points on 44.9 percent shooting (42.6 [...]

Kenyon Martin doesn’t want his ride with the New York Knicks to end. After spending most of the season waiting by the phone for an NBA team to give him a shout, the 35-year-old Martin has found a home in the Big Apple. And per Ian Begley of ESPNNewYork.com, he’d like to keep it that [...]

It turns out Andrew Bynum has put the entire NBA in a difficult situation. Well, that’s a bit of a stretch. But the Philadelphia 76ers can take solace in knowing they’re not the only ones facing a gripping, Bynum-related decision. Set to become an unrestricted free agent upon season’s end, much has been made of [...]

Even before absconding to South Beach, LeBron James wasn’t always a beloved figure in Cleveland. Or should I say in the Cleveland Cavaliers locker room? Yeah, let’s go with that. Per Chris Tomasson of FOX Sports Florida, James was often chided (resented?) by his teammates upon coming into the league: Silas wouldn’t give any names. [...]

The answer is no. The Boston Celtics have played their way well into the NBA’s playoff conversation and by doing so, they’ve opened the offseason floodgates, specifically with regard to Rajon Rondo and Avery Bradley. Boston is 16-7 since Rondo went down and have, at the very least, feigned contention. Upon Rondo’s removal from the [...]

Carmelo Anthony isn’t the toughest of NBA players, and the New York Knicks certainly aren’t the most honest of franchises, but there’s no reason to believe either side is lying. After having his knee drained of fluid, Melo said that the buildup was related to a hamstring injury, which Mitch Lawrence of the New York [...]

Kobe Bryant has only ever known the Los Angeles Lakers. We’ve only known him as a Laker. Could he conceivably wind up playing anywhere else? With one more year left on his current deal, it’s a fair question. The Black Mamba, despite what he says, appears to have plenty of gas left in the tank, [...]

A little more Pau Gasol sounds good right about now. With the Los Angeles Lakers 9-2 heading into their matchup with the Atlanta Hawks Wednesday night, Gasol wasn’t exactly an afterthought, but there wasn’t any urgency behind his return. But then the Lakers lost to the Hawks, Kobe Bryant and all. Bryant has a severely [...]

For the Philadelphia 76ers, there is both good news and bad news. According to John Mitchell of the Philadelphia Inquirer, Andrew Bynum’s contract for this season is insured against his knees, which is good news: If there is some good news to be gleaned from the 76ers’ experience with Andrew Bynum, it’s that they won’t [...]

Carmelo Anthony and the New York Knicks need to be careful, not reckless. But it seems the latter is prevailing. We’ve been led to believe that Melo’s knee is a perplexing mystery, but real “mystery” is why he hasn’t got it drained. We know there’s fluid in there, he needs to just get it out [...]
