NBA Rumors

The Boston Celtics are undefeated since losing Rajon Rondo, which does anything but speak volumes about the point guard’s value to the team. Without Rondo, the Celtics are 4-0 and have snagged victories over the Miami Heat and Los Angeles Clippers, two authentic contenders. Naturally, after such immense, albeit brief, success, the narrative in Boston [...]

Ricky Rubio wants Pau Gasol, and he doesn’t care if the entire world knows it. Per Eric Pincus of the Los Angeles Times, Rubio not-so-subtly continues to hold out hope that the Los Angeles Lakers big man will wind up with the Minnesota Timberwolves: Pau Gasol has been loosely linked to the Wolves, primarily because [...]

Kevin Garnett isn’t going anywhere. The Boston Celtics reached a proverbial crossroad when they lost Rajon Rondo to a torn ACL for the rest of the season (and beyond?). Given what his playmaking abilities meant to this team, there are few things that the Celtics wouldn’t consider doing to instill some sort of change. Dealing [...]

Pau Gasol is taking up a good part of my NBA life lately. Out of necessity, I’ve written about the 32-year-old big man numerous times in the last week. I say “out of necessity” because, well, I mean it. The Los Angeles Lakers have won three in a row, and are finally playing like a [...]

Trading Josh Smith isn’t going to be easy for the Atlanta Hawks. It’s not that there won’t be a market for Smith, because there will be. Though Smith’s attitude and lack of experience on a contender could prevent him from landing the max contract he so desperately seeks, neither will be a deal-breaker for a [...]

Super teams are about sacrifice, and someone needs to tell Pau Gasol just that. It’s universal knowledge that the seven-footer hasn’t been happy with his role on the bench, but the Los Angeles Lakers were hoping that would change. Especially if it proved effective. But while it has proved effective, Gasol still isn’t happy. At [...]

Rudy Gay should not go to the Los Angeles Lakers. Not as long as Kobe Bryant is still donning purple and gold. Though the Memphis Grizzlies pulled the trigger on a deal that brought them beneath the luxury tax line and eliminated the need to deal Gay, speculation continues to run rampant. According to Ken [...]

Rajon Rondo’s torn ACL comes as a crushing blow to the Boston Celtics, but it stands to inject life into the Philadelphia 76ers. Per Doris Burke of ESPN (via Mike Petraglia of WEEI.com), the point guard has officially torn his ACL and will be shut down for the season. Rondo has a torn ACL.. per [...]

The Los Angeles Lakers, well, they suck. But that’s not on Mike D’Antoni. Not entirely. Barely three months into his tenure in the Land of Make Believe, D’Antoni’s head is already being called for. If Dwight Howard isn’t not-so-subtly complaining about his coaching methods, then Kobe Bryant questioning the direction of the team. And if [...]

Kevin Martin was essentially considered a one-year rental upon joining the Oklahoma City Thunder, but he may now be here to stay. Most scoffed at the notion of him replacing James Harden as the end-all for Oklahoma City’s bench, yet he’s thrived off the pine and the Thunder are just as dominant (if not more) [...]
