NBA Rumors

Delonte West is chock full of baggage, but I remain surprised that he has not found a new home in the NBA. Since unceremoniously departing from the Dallas Mavericks, West really hasn’t been linked heavily to any teams. The Los Angeles Lakers toiled with signing him for awhile, but ultimately passed. Aside from them, that’s [...]

Ray Allen remains one of the NBA’s best shooters, but we may not get the opportunity to bear witness to such talents for much longer. Though the 37-year-old Allen signed a three-year pact with the Miami Heat, the next two are both player options. Contracts never prevent players from retiring in the first place, but [...]

Pau Gasol’s acceptance of reality is the key to everything for Dwight Howard and the Los Angles Lakers. Though everyone and their mother wants Los Angeles to blow it up by admitting defeat and trading either Gasol or Howard, there is still time salvage what’s left of this blueprint and this season. But only if [...]

The Memphis Grizzlies have traded Marreese Speights to the Cleveland Cavaliers in a move that solidifies their future as an NBA title contender. According to ESPN.com’s Brian Windhorst, the deal will save the Grizzlies more than $6 million in salary and, most importantly, prevent them from paying any luxury tax penalties: The Memphis Grizzlies have [...]

The Los Angeles Lakers aren’t going to trade Dwight Howard, and Magic Johnson should remember that.

Kobe Bryant is a lot of things, but patient isn’t one of them. With the Los Angeles falling to 17-23 and three games outside of the Western Conference’s playoff picture, naturally, the Black Mamba’s patience is wearing thin. Everybody who calls Hollywood home is undoubtedly at their wits end and everyone has their own idea [...]

Doc Rivers isn’t happy with the Boston Celtics, and we can’t really blame him. After losing four straight games, the Celtics went on a six game winning streak, one that included four victories over playoff hopefuls. Since then, Boston has dropped another three in a row, two of which have come against an Eric Gordon-less [...]

Tyson Chandler, not Kevin Garnett should be starting for the Eastern Conference in the 2013 NBA All-Star Game. Case closed. In what was a completely expected snub, Garnett was named as an All-Star starter while Chandler was left to wonder if he would be able to make the final coaches cut. But while it was [...]

Visions of a championship are going to prove fleeting for the Memphis Grizzlies. It may not be this season, it may not even be over the summer, but the Grizzlies are going to be disbanded. Under the weight of the not-so-new CBA, Memphis is going to get taxed up the you know what if it [...]

At present, Portland is one game over .500 and just a half-game outside the Western Conference playoff bubble. In the midst of a rebuild, few expected the Blazers to toil with a .500 record, let alone a playoff [...]
