Four years with LeBron James apparently wasn’t enough for Dwyane Wade, so he’s open to coming back for more. When LeBron James first left the Miami Heat in 2014, that was supposed to be it. He and Wade spent four seasons together. Made it to four NBA Finals. Won two championships. They played together, in [...]

We may not have seen the last of Sam Hinkie in an NBA front office. The former Philadelphia 76ers president/general manager/author of The Process has become something of a cult hero for his extremist approach to rebuilding the team he has since left behind. Whether or not you agree with him, you know him. And [...]

Sometimes, in sports, questions with obvious answers need to be asked. That’s the nature of the business—especially when it comes to free agency. Which brings us to Stephen Curry, who will be a free agent at season’s end, and who was recently asked by the Charlotte Observer‘s Scott Fowler whether he would consider signing with [...]

Kristaps Porzingis is already the New York Knicks’ best player. That’s a fact, and it’s not a shot at Carmelo Anthony, who remains one of the best scorers in the game. It’s just that Porzingis’ talent is harder, if impossible, to replicate. He is essentially a 7’3″ wing with post-up skills and the ability to, [...]

Russell Westbrook is the realest. Maybe that has something to do with the fact that he’s averaging a triple-double. You read that correctly. He is Oscar Robertson-ing the the modern-day NBA. Or maybe Westbrook’s status as the realest is due to him not giving two craps about averaging said triple-double. As he said after the [...]

He hears it, make no mistake. But he doesn’t care, per ESPN.com’s Justin Verrier: Davis, speaking to ESPN’s Marc [...]

Draymond Green doesn’t believe there was a downside to the Golden State Warriors signing Kevin Durant. Bold, I know. It sounds stupid to say. At the same time, crotchety folks have waxed displeasure with the defensive sacrifices the Warriors made to acquire Durant. Andrew Bogut was injury-prone, but a solid interior anchor. So, too, was [...]

Brandon Knight is not available for another NBA team’s taking…right now. But he probably will be…later. With the Phoenix Suns sitting at 5-13, staring down the barrel of another lost season, rival teams will no doubt look to see if they enter sellers mode ahead of the February trade deadline. And while they extent of [...]

At 8-9, now sitting just outside the Western Conference’s early-season playoff picture, the Portland Trail Blazers rank as one of this year’s biggest disappointments. But while it’s easy to say they need to make a trade, Damian Lillard, despite this sluggish start, isn’t there yet. From CSNNW.com’s Jason Quick: As alarming as the Trail Blazers’ [...]

If you asked Dwyane Wade to rank his three most likely free-agency destinations from this past summer, would the Miami Heat be in the top three? It’s a fair question, because, well, Wade left the Heat for the Chicago Bulls. But he also flirted with the Denver Nuggets, whom he indicated, per Christopher Dempsey of [...]
