Ban. Injuries. Perhaps we say this every year, but for the life of me, I cannot remember a more brutal opening week in the NBA than the one we’re still living through. Gordon Hayward and Jeremy Lin are done for the season. Draymond Green was/is dealing with some knee problems. Andre Iguodala couldn’t play in the [...]

To say the Boston Celtics and Indiana Pacers remain miles apart in negotiations for Paul George would be an understatement. On Thursday, Mark Murphy of the Boston Herald reported Kevin Pritchard, Indy’s team president, was asking for the moon in George talks: [tweet https://twitter.com/Murf56/status/880468484920049664] Yeah, the Pacers aren’t getting that much. And if the Celtics have [...]

Jeremy Lin plans to be an ambassador for the Brooklyn Nets in free agency, and he apparently already has an audience. In an interview with JD.com, Lin revealed that five of his past teammates have shown an interest in joining his new squad. Here’s the transcription via reddit user u/C_L_I_C_K, which we were pointed to thanks to SLAM: [...]

So this is why J.J. Redick is expected to land a contract worth between $18 and $20 million per year this summer: Everybody wants him.

Jeremy Lin is injured again, only this time, the setback isn’t considered serious. From the New York Post‘s Brian Lewis: When Jeremy Lin landed awkwardly on his ankle during Sunday’s game against the Mavericks, he couldn’t help but think the worst. After all, that’s the way his nightmarish, injury-riddled season has gone since it began, with [...]

The Pelicans have seemed to be one of the most active teams in the trade market the past few weeks as they desperately search for a talented big man to play alongside Anthony Davis. I mean when their only other true center options are Omer Asik and Alexis Ajinca can you blame them? While they [...]

The story of Anthony Bennett’s NBA career has become a very sad tale and appears that it may have had its final moment. Bennett was released by the Brooklyn Nets Monday morning after averaging 5.0 points and 3.4 rebounds in 11 minutes per game in 23 appearances this season. [tweet https://twitter.com/ESPNSteinLine/status/818485813885292544] Bennett is the former [...]

Rajon Rondo’s foray into free agency this past summer didn’t unfold as planned. The Chicago Bulls signed him to a two-year deal, the second of which is only partially guaranteed. And after he put pen to paper, Dwyane Wade followed him to the Windy City, creating a backcourt with very little spacing. Following a relatively [...]

The Brooklyn Nets pulled off a gutsy 109-100 win over the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday night—half of which came without starting point guard Jeremy Lin. Lin did not return to play the second half after suffering a left hamstring injury: [tweet https://twitter.com/BrooklynNets/status/793977960537563136] Head coach Kenny Atkinson didn’t have any immediate updates on Lin’s hamstring following [...]
