After spending each of the last two seasons hoarding assets in the form of picks, prospects and uber-reasonable contracts, the Boston Celtics are supposed to be in consolidation mode. And, in case you were wondering, they absolutely are. Consider the stance taken by team president Danny Ainge during his weekly appearance on 98.5 The Sports [...]

LeBron James believes that Andrew Wiggins is better off with the Minnesota Timberwolves than he ever would have been with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Or something like that. James and Wiggins were almost teammates. Shoot, they kind of were teammates. Wiggins was drafted by the Cavaliers in 2014 before James re-signed with the team. Only after [...]

Talk about a bittersweet ending. D’Angelo Russell went bonkers in the Los Angeles Lakers’ Thursday night loss to the Sacramento Kings, setting a new career-high with 27 points on 11-of-16 shooting. He also pitched in four assists and two steals. Is that good? It seems good. Oh, it’s good: https://twitter.com/danfavale/status/685460014186786816 D’Angelo Russell might have actually [...]

Still waiting for that first NBA blockbuster trade of the 2015-16 NBA season? Well, keep waiting. It’ll come eventually, just not now.

Whether it’s their owner calling out Markieff Morris and the millennial generation’s inability in general to recover from setbacks, Markieff Morris throwing a towel at Jeff [...]

Carmelo Anthony, now 31 years old, is growing up. And, in turn, giving the ball up. The reputation the New York Knicks superstar has as a ball-stopper is a bit overstated, especially in recent years, as he’s refined his catch-and-shoot touch. But this season’s version of Anthony is the most selfless we have ever seen. [...]

Ryan Anderson has dominated the NBA’s trade rumor mill almost as much as the Phoenix Suns’ Markieff Morris. And the New Orleans Pelicans, for the life of them, cannot figure out why. Or rather, head coach Alvin Gentry cannot figure out why. Per the New Orleans Advocate‘s Brett Dawson: Alvin Gentry says of Pelicans: "We've [...]

Boris Diaw wins life. Following the San Antonio Spurs’ 123-98 shellacking of the Utah Jazz on Wednesday night—which was their ninth victory by at least 25 points, the most in NBA history through 37 games, according to Basketball-Reference—Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News relayed some wildly awesome, yet somehow totally predictable information: You're gonna [...]

David Lee wants more minutes, but the Boston Celtics don’t have them to dole out, which clearly means a trade request is on the way. Or not. From Mass Live’s Jay King: Asked directly about possibly requesting a trade due to disappearing playing time, Boston Celtics big man David Lee said he has not considered [...]

Rajon Rondo and Rick Carlisle never really seemed to get along during the former’s stint in Dallas last season, hence why he ended up off the team midway [...]
