NBA Rumors

Josh Smith of the Atlanta Hawks needs to go. I’ve fought such a feeling since the team dealt Joe Johnson to the Brooklyn Nets. I believed that now free from the shackles that is playing alongside Johnson, Smith would thrive. I believed that as “the man” in Atlanta, he would want to stay. I believed [...]

Mark Cuban and Dirk Nowitzki want the Dallas Mavericks to not just win, but contend for a title. But is that even possible? With the current roster, no. Hence Cuban’s interest in holding a fire sale. Or rather, a “I’ll take on any contract you don’t want if I like them” sale. Though Nowitzki’s return [...]

The Washington Wizards aren’t known for their basketball savvy anymore, yet not even they would be dumb enough to trade rookie Bradley Beal. Anywhere. Remember when THD sat down with Beal when he was coming out of HS? Well he’s come a long way since then, and is now becoming legit at the pro level [...]

Add the Denver Nuggets’ seldom used Timofey Mozgov to the never-ending list of centers the Miami Heat may opt to pursue. According to Chris Tomasson of Fox Sports Florida, the Nuggets have placed Mozgov on the chopping block and the Heat are among the teams who might make a play for his services: An intriguing [...]

If it’s not broke, the Los Angeles Clippers shouldn’t try to fix it. But should they try to make it even better? Currently, the Chris Paul-led Clippers have the second-best record in the NBA, trailing only the seemingly unbeatable Oklahoma City Thunder. But while such success would normally dictate that a team not do a [...]

On the bench is where Amar’e Stoudemire of the New York Knicks will stay.

These Danny Granger trade rumors just won’t go away for the Indiana Pacers and I, for the life of me, cannot figure out why. I understand the Pacers have the third-best record in the Eastern Conference. I understand that they’ve won a franchise record nine in a row at home and two straight over conference [...]

The Los Angeles Lakers are struggling, but blowing this team up shouldn’t be an option. Though it’s tempting to look at the age of Los Angeles’ core and their subsequent record, and then conclude that this isn’t working, making any brash decisions on the fate of this convocation is still premature. Why? Because there’s still [...]

There’s dumb, there’s stupid, there’s completely insane and then there’s the idea that the Los Angeles Lakers should trade Dwight Howard to the Dallas Mavericks for Dirk Nowitzki. You might think I’m an idiot for mentioning it—and I may very well be—but just know my crime is only acknowledging that the concept exists. According to [...]

Jeremy Lin and James Harden need a versatile power forward to run with, and the Houston Rockets need look no further than Paul Millsap of the Utah Jazz. According to Chad Ford of ESPN.com, Houston is likely to be active near the trade deadline as they continue their pursuit of an additional forward: Hearing yes [...]
