Knicks gonna Knicks. The New York Knicks registered interest in the Denver Nuggets’ Kenneth Faried last season. We know this. But what many didn’t know is that they apparently came off as desperate. Per BasketballInsiders.com Steve Kyler (h/t FanSided.com): [tweet https://twitter.com/stevekylerNBA/status/508270654496718848] This would seem to make sense. Back in February, when rumors first surfaced, it [...]

Most unfortunately, here we go again. Atlanta Hawks controlling owner Bruce Levenson will sell his share of the team after self-reporting a racially charged email he sent in 2012. Here’s NBA commissioner Adam Silver’s statement on the matter: [tweet https://twitter.com/NBA/status/508636146146889728] Although the self-reported part of this mess has been played up, Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo [...]

Dare to dream. Free agency is just about over and done with, and the NBA regular season is less than two months away. You, therefore, know what that means: It’s time for the Los Angeles Lakers to register purported interest in some of next year’s biggest free agents. It happened when Dwight Howard was still [...]

Kevin Love isn’t going to pull a LeBron James in Cleveland. The Cleveland Cavaliers showed off their fancy new stretch-forward toy on Tuesday. To no one’s surprise the spectacle was met with immeasurable fanfare and crazy-ass hype. The deal everyone had been waiting for to be officially done is finally done. Love is actually a [...]

Joel Embiid is a funny guy. Excuse me, kid. That’s what 20-year-olds are: kids. Embiid definitely has the body of a man, and he’ll be expected to conduct himself like a man, but 20-year-olds are, at their core, kids still trying to find their way. That’s what Embiid is. That’s what his Twitter account represents. [...]

Chill. Let’s all just chill. You, me, the person to your left, your right, the kid from your high school who used to play pocket billiards in the back of math class, the tighty-whitey-clad cowboy who plays acoustic guitar on the corner of busy streets and the guy behind me who smells of fetid cheese [...]

This Eric Bledsoe drama just won’t end. With the relationship between Mini LeBron and the Phoenix Suns having apparently soured, Bled’s restricted free agency has gone from formality to perplexing puzzle. Will he accept the Suns’ four-year, $48 million offer? Or will he take their $3.7 million qualifying offer, play through next season and become [...]

Adam Silver only speaks the truth. Less than a year into his tenure as NBA commissioner, Silver has not held back. From wanting to impose a new draft age limit to banning super-sized shitbag Donald Sterling for good, he’s shot straight from the hip, never shying away from the big decisions or questions. Talking about [...]

Ugh. Just when you think Rajon Rondo trade rumors are dead for the time being, they’re revived, but not really. Consider what follows to be a lesson in recycling. T-Spence, a sports radio host, tweeted this: [tweet https://twitter.com/tspence26/status/500931306599886848] It created some buzz, but not much. BasketballInsiders.com picked it up…I think: [tweet https://twitter.com/BBallInsiders/status/501274440596873216] Don’t bother clicking [...]
