Still looking for a way back into the NBA title conversation, the Houston Rockets have apparently taking a liking to the Phoenix Suns’ Markieff Morris. From ESPN.com’s Marc Stein: The Houston Rockets have trade interest in Phoenix Suns forward Markieff Morris, who made multiple trade demands this past offseason, according to league sources. Sources told [...]

Rajon Rondo, apparently, will be among those in play to receive a max contract during free agency this summer. To which I say: Oh. Here’s the low-down from Sporting News’ Sean Deveney: “I don’t know whether he will quite get the maximum, mostly because we don’t know what the max is going to be,” one [...]

Chris Bosh thinks that Kobe Bryant is the best player of his generation. Which is weird. And wrong. On so many different levels. Bosh offered the following sentiments while making an appearance on NBC Sports’ The Dan Patrick Show (h/t ProBasketballTalk): He’s the greatest player of my generation. He was that guy after Mike that [...]

Harrison Barnes’ left ankle sprain wasn’t supposed to sideline him for that long. But it might. Speaking on 95.7 The Game, Golden State Warriors general manager Bob Myers revealed that the fourth-year swingman could miss way more time than initially expected. Per Diamond Leung of the Bay Area News Group: Bob Myers told 95.7 The [...]

Stephen Curry’s pregame preparation is a spectacle unto himself. What, you didn’t think the reigning MVP was just lazily good, did you? Curry makes world domination look easy, but it’s actually really hard, and he puts in a lot of work so that he can destroy galaxies for 30-plus minutes every game. Here is some [...]

But, as Dwain Price of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram noted, the Rockets are still taking extra precautions: #Rockets C Dwight Howard won't play Fri. [...]

DeMarcus Cousins’ fantasy basketball stock, already ridiculously high, just exploded. Rookie Willie Cauley-Stein, whom the Sacramento Kings have often tried to play beside Cousins, is expected to miss a huge chunk of time after suffering a right index injury in Thursday night’s loss to the Boston Celtics. Marc J. Spears came bearing the bittersweet news: [...]

Remember when Dwyane Wade broke Kobe Bryant’s nose during the 2012 NBA All-Star Game? Sure you do. But Kobe doesn’t. Fine, yes he does. But he’s not holding any grudges nearly four years later. He and Wade are cool—super cool, actually. That’s the vibe you get from the story that the Miami Heat’s shooting guard [...]

Randy Wittman must be an avid fan of Forgetting Sarah Marshall. The Washington Wizards are floundering as a team. At 7-9, they’re owners of the fourth-worst record in the Eastern Conference. Their offense isn’t nearly as potent as it was during the playoffs, and their defense, relative to this season’s field of points-prevention units, has [...]

Bryon Scott’s job is safe. For now. Not 20 games into his second season as head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers, it already looks like Scott will have played babysitter for the two worst teams in franchise history. That’s not the kind of resume that will help you keep your job—especially when you entered [...]
