So much for the relationship between Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook being peachy keen. They themselves have denied it, and it has become common practice to vilify those who think a rift between the two existed. But the separation between them, as a source told Bleacher Report’s Howard Beck, was apparently very real: Their partnership [...]
For Dwight Howard, his fourth NBA team is the charm. Or so he hopes.

And now, after a disastrous season with the Houston [...]
Jimmy Butler can still apparently be had from the Chicago Bulls. From Steve Bulpett of the Boston Herald: Sources tell us the C’s are still holding the line on their offers from prior to the draft.

The Oklahoma City Thunder want Al Horford…in addition to Kevin Durant. I bet you thought they were done trying to make a splash. The Serge Ibaka trade caught a bunch of us off-guard. It was enough of a surprise to last the Thunder all summer. They would try to re-sign Durant and that would be [...]
