New York Knicks owner James Dolan is not untouchable, just super stupid and lucky. And yes, in this case, untouchable. Dolan will not be punished for his cruel email to a decades-long Knicks fan, according to the New York Post‘s Tim Bontemmps. For those who haven’t heard, the short version goes like this: Fan blasts [...]

If your favorite NBA team is going to strip the Denver Nuggets of one of their best trade assets, it’s going to cost them. The Nuggets kinda, sorta took a step toward blowing their roster up when they traded Timofey Mozgov to the Cleveland Cavaliers for two first-round picks. But with guys like Wilson Chandler [...]

Signing Ed Davis made sense for the Lakers last summer. Re-signing him this summer may not. The Lakers pulled off a small-scale free-agency coup last July when they signed Davis for under $1 million with a player option for 2015-16 worth just a little more. The 13th overall pick from the 2010 draft has never [...]

Amar’e Stoudemire’s time with the Knicks may finally be coming to an end. Almost a half-decade ago, the Knicks handed him a five-year, $100 million contract that has become the symbol for all that was wrong with the impulsive and reflexive and logic-eschewing franchise. The upcoming summer has long been the light at the end [...]

Andrew Wiggins is going to be a superstar. No, he’s probably not the second coming of LeBron James, as he was made out to be just before playing his college ball at Kansas. Then again, that same notion seems a lot less ridiculous now than it did leading into the NBA draft. Or just a [...]

Get your daily dose of weird, here. The Chicago Bulls’ 2014-15 season hasn’t gone as planned. They’re hovering around the top 10 in both offensive and defensive efficiency, per NBA.com, but the latter standing isn’t what it used to be. Not by a long shot. The Bulls ranked second last year and employ a slew [...]

Avoiding NBA power rankings is for chumps, so come on in. There’s plenty to talk about this week. The Warriors and Hawks are still playing in a league of their own; the Grizzlies look like fortuitous demigods; the Hornets and Pistons are making a mockery of the Eastern Conference’s race for the final two playoff spots; [...]

Carmelo Anthony is just saying what we’re all thinking. Most know that as bad as the New York Knicks are, they won’t be rebuilding through conventional methods. Sure, they’ll welcome in Jahlil Okafor with open arms should they land the No. 1 overall pick. But this team is not about to wait around and let [...]

For the 2015 BBVA Compass Rising Stars Challenge are these specially-designed uniforms from adidas. What used to be known as the Rookie/Sophmore game starts off the basketball festivities during the NBA All-Star Weekend and the case could be made for this game being having better displays of basketball than the actual All-Star Game on Sunday. [...]

Question of the week: Do any of the NBA’s Eastern Conference fringe playoff teams actually want to make the postseason? Asking for a friend or 50 here. Seriously, once you leave the East’s top-six teams—Hawks(!), Raptors, Wizards, Bulls, Cavaliers and Bucks—it feels like you’ve entered the “Let’s try and suck as much as possible in order to [...]
