NBA Rumors

You would think after acquiring Dwight Howard and Steve Nash, the time for the Los Angeles Lakers to remain outside of the rumor-mill had finally come. Apparently not. Los Angeles improved their roster by leaps and bounds this past summer, adding not only the likes of Howard and Nash, but also the offense-heavy presences of [...]

Contending for an NBA title isn’t easy, and the Boston Celtics know that. Which is why Brandon Bass needs to be in the starting lineup. After a complete roster overhaul this past off-season, the Celtics have plenty of options at almost every position, a luxury they were not afforded last year. Such depth has created [...]

The Dallas Mavericks have thought about it, they know it’s inevitable, but there’s no use pretending Mark Cuban and company were hoping it wouldn’t happen. I’m of course referring to the team being forced to face life without Dirk Nowitzki. Nowitzki, one of the NBA’s most durable and prolific scorers, is having knee troubles, the [...]

The Milwaukee Bucks are fools. There, I said it. No, Milwaukee isn’t foolish for re-signing Ersan Ilyasova to a fat five-year deal, and it certainly isn’t foolish for having dealt Andrew Bogut to the Golden State Warriors in exchange for Monta Ellis. The Bucks are foolish because they’ve yet to ink high-scoring guard Brandon Jennings [...]

Is Kobe Bryant a liar? No, not that we can prove. That said, don’t bother buying into the self-imposed retirement talk. Bryant, a five-time NBA champion, made it clear that he may have no intention of playing beyond the life of his current contract, which expires after the 2013-14 campaign.

He wasn’t as skilled offensively as Chris Bosh, LeBron Jame and Dwyane Wade, so naturally, his role on that end of the ball [...]

Anderson Varejao has plenty of upside, but the Cleveland Cavaliers may be ready to move on. After a relatively idle offseason, Cleveland is reportedly already entertaining the idea of moving the man who has become a perpetual double-double stat line. According to Jason Lloyd of the Akron Beacon-Journal, Varejao may find himself on the chopping [...]

JaVale McGee, a perpetual headache by many accounts, got paid this summer. Big time. But his pockets may have been lined to assume a backup role. That’s correct, according to Denver Nuggets head coach George Karl, McGee, the $44 million man, is more than likely going to see his minutes within the second-unit, not as [...]

September 24, 2012 – Dan Favale The New York Knicks aren’t exactly the epitome of responsible spending, or respectable decision-making, but signing Rasheed Wallace is anything but foolish. [...]

September 21, 2012 – Dan Favale We’ve seen it before, far too often, in fact, when an NBA player’s immediate future is suddenly derailed by an unpreventable condition. And now, unfortunately, we’ve seen it again, as according to NBA.com, Phoenix Suns forward Channing Frye is out indefinitely after developing a dilated cardiomyopathy, which is essentially [...]
