Monday night will truly be a special one for basketball fans as we will have the opportunity to watch the two best teams in the NBA, having two of the greatest seasons in NBA history duke it out for the first time. The 38-6 San Antonio Spurs will travel to Oakland to play the 40-4 [...]

Don’t look now, the Kings are actually playing somewhat good basketball. They are currently eight seed in the western conference with a record of 20-23 and the winners of five straight games. Their enigmatic and ornery leaders DeMarcus Cousins and Rajon Rondo are playing well and they look to be a legit threat to make [...]

So it turns out Brook Lopez was really close to joining the Oklahoma City Thunder last season. Like, super close. Nets Daily rehashed our memory with some additional details: Maybe Brook remembers that Sam Presti decided against trading for him at 2:40 p.m. last February, after he had packed and overnight bag. — NetsDaily.com (@NetsDaily) [...]

The search for the Brooklyn Nets’ next general manager and head coach is ongoing, and while Kentucky’s John Calipari was viewed as a candidate to fill both vacancies, team owner Mikhail Prokhorov and crew are now believed to be looking elsewhere.

Martin has meandered in and out—mostly in—of the trade rumor mill over the last few weeks. He only recently returned to the rotation following a seven-game stint inside the “DNP” [...]

When the Orlando Magic hired head coach Scott Skiles over the summer, it was under the guise that he would try to win as many games as possible, as soon as possible. The Magic have responded by putting themselves on pace to nearly double last season’s win total and flirting with a playoff birth. They [...]

Sweet mother of all that’s ridiculous. Markieff Morris has seemed like a lock to be traded at some point this season for a while. The relationship between himself and the Phoenix Suns imploded once the team dealt his brother, Marcus, to the Detroit Pistons, and the Suns have re-entered NBA purgatory after losing Eric Bledsoe [...]

Carmelo Anthony was named to his ninth NBA All-Star team on Thursday, which is pretty cool. That he’s grabbed this many All-Star selections without ever making an NBA Finals appearance is not.
