NBA Rumors

When the Toronto Raptors dealt for Kyle Lowry, Jose Calderon was deemed expendable. Now, however, it’s Lowry who may prove to be the odd man out. According to Dough Smith of the Toronto Star, upon his return from yet another injury, Lowry will be coming off the bench in favor of Calderon: Injured Raptors point [...]

The New York Knicks need Amar’e Stoudemire bad. Like really bad. I’m not going to sit here and attempt to explain the intricacies of re-integrating him into the lineup and how it will only help the Knicks—I’ve already done that. What I will sit here and gladly admit to you is that New York is [...]

Let’s be honest—last year’s NBA Slam Dunk Competition was the embodiment of awful. Far be it from me to belittle players’ displays of athleticism, but not only did the dunk contest lack the big names were used to seeing, but the creativity and explosiveness of the dunks were clearly inferior to what we have become [...]

Can the Sacramento Kings do anything right? Apparently not. At the risk of sounding brutal but in the spirit of being honest, the Kings are a horrible basketball team. They’re 8-17 on the season—giving them the second-worst record in the Western Conference—are still trying to figure out the self-destructive enigma that is Demarcus Cousins, have [...]

It’s not easy being the Boston Celtics. Rajon Rondo and company were supposedly talented and deep enough to contend for a title this season. Instead, they’ve fought to stay above .500 and can currently be classified as a fringe playoff team. The problem? Defense. Last season, the Celtics were allowing a league-best 98.2 points per [...]

Nate Robinson’s name continues to get tossed around like he doesn’t matter. I understand that Robinson isn’t a superstar, and I get that he’s only 5’9″, but he’s still a consistent force to be reckoned with on a daily basis. And yet, that doesn’t seem to matter. Robinson struggled to generate any suitors over the [...]

The NBA season has not been kind to the Philadelphia 76ers. That said, despite the urgency that is undoubtedly running through the city of Brotherly Love, it’s reassuring to see that the team is not making any brash decisions. I’m referring to, of course, the Sixers’ treatment of injured guard Jrue Holiday, who has missed [...]

The New York Knicks received some very good news on Monday night. Or bad news, depending upon which side of Carmelo Anthony’s fence you stand on. According to Frank Isola of the New York Daily News, Amar’e Stoudemire has been cleared for full-contact practice and could return for the Knicks as soon as Friday when [...]

Ersan Ilyasova is an enigma. Or he could be a one-year wonder. Either way, he remains someone the Brooklyn Nets must avoid. Why do I say this? Because according to Gary Wolfel of the Racine Journal-Times (via NetsDaily.com), the Nets are reportedly once again interesting in acquiring the essential stretch forward: Gary Woelfel, long-time Bucks [...]

Let’s get something straight: Trading Pau Gasol would be a mistake for the Los Angeles Lakers. At least right now. Not just because Steve Nash wants to play alongside him and not just because the Lakers owe it to their newly constructed team to see if the current dynamic works, but also because Los Angeles [...]
