NBA Rumors

Rajon Rondo is failing as the leader of the Boston Celtics. Coming into this season, never before was there so much talk of Rondo being Boston’s end-all, the one who would keep the Celtics’ cause intact. And subsequently, never before has Rondo been more of a disappointment. Statistically, the point guard has been sound. He’s [...]

Amar’e Stoudemire’s name has become synonymous with disappointment. A sheer uttering of his name, in fact, is enough to send most New York Knicks fas into a comatose state. And you know what? We can’t blame them. Stoudemire was everything and more than the Knicks imagined he’d be during the early goings of the 2010-11 [...]

Marcin Gortat is a smart man. Like a really smart man. Smarter than the Phoenix Suns could have ever known him to be. Which doesn’t bode well for them. According to Paul Coro of azcenteral.com, the Suns offered Gortat a contract extension back in October, one in which he ultimately declined: Suns center Marcin Gortat [...]

The Philadelphia 76ers may have made a mistake. That mistake may have been Andrew Bynum. After shipping out a franchise cornerstone in Andre Iguodala in exchange for Bynum’s services, the towering big man has yet to set foot on the floor as he continues to wage a losing battle with both of his knees. And [...]

Neither Pau Gasol or Josh Smith is having a career year, and neither the Los Angeles Lakers nor Atlanta Hawks should agree to trade one for the other. There was plenty of chatter surrounding the two last year, when Smith had requested out of Atlanta and Los Angeles had been shopping Gasol, so it was [...]

Much has been made of the Oklahoma City Thunder and their struggles since James Harden’s departure. Without Harden, the Thunder seem surprisingly thin. Both Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant continue to attempt and adapt to their new roles in the post-Harden era, and have suffered as a result. Most notably, though, Oklahoma City is just [...]

I’ve never been much of an advocate for Kenyon Martin, but with the Miami Heat playing the way they are, I’m all for him taking his aging talents to South Beach. And according to Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun-Sentinal, Martin himself is more than amenable to such a marriage: For what it’s worth, [...]

Let’s get one thing straight: It’s still incredibly early in the NBA season. Now, let’s get another thing straight: J.R. Smith of the New York Knicks is already a legitimate candidate for the league’s Sixth Man of the Year award. No seriously, I’m not kidding. Smith has improved by leaps and bounds heading into this [...]

Let’s cave to peer pressure and talk about the Los Angeles Lakers. And Mike D’Antoni. And Kobe Bryant. And what this team has the ability to do. In nothing short of a staggering twist of events, Mike Bresnahan of the Los Angeles Times reported that the Lakers had spurned Phil Jackson in favor of D’Antoni. [...]

DeMarcus Cousins of the Sacramento Kings has been suspended by the NBA and I, as a result, find myself angry. Not angry at the historically volatile center, but at the league, at the Association itself. According to our own Allen Moll of THD, the big man was suspended by the league after confronting San Antonio [...]
