Davis is only 22, so the things he does well now, he will do even better later. As for the one thing he doesn’t do, [...]
Kevin Durant free-agency rumors are beginning to percolate. Which means it officially must be summer. Much ado has already been made over his impending foray onto the open market. This speculation is nothing new. But there’s something about his free agency being less than one year away that’s fueling the conjecture fire. Maybe it’s because [...]
After losing DeAndre Jordan to the Dallas Mavericks, the Los Angeles Clippers are scrambling to ensure they still field a Western Conference juggernaut for the 2015-16 campaign. Next summer, apparently, they’ll be scrambling to sign free-agent-to-be Kevin Durant. They and 29 other NBA teams, that is. Unlike most of those 29 other teams, though, the [...]
