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.

The LA Clippers jump into their 2012-2013 campaign with some key additions. Lamar Odom looks to bounce back into form after an uncharacteristically down year with the Dallas Mavericks (6.6 ppg, 4.2 rpg, 1.7 apg-all career lows) while Jamal Crawford (14 ppg, 3.2 apg, 2 rpg) looks set to add spark to an already prolific [...]

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 [...]

September 21, 2012 – Mohamed Abdihakim Austin Rivers has talent. He also has opinions. As the off-season winds down, it can safely be said said that Doc Rivers’ kid is pretty well-spoken. He’s given some smooth interviews, showing a natural approach. He hasn’t shied away too much. On an interview before the draft, on the [...]
