Ryan Anderson has dominated the NBA’s trade rumor mill almost as much as the Phoenix Suns’ Markieff Morris. And the New Orleans Pelicans, for the life of them, cannot figure out why. Or rather, head coach Alvin Gentry cannot figure out why. Per the New Orleans Advocate‘s Brett Dawson: Alvin Gentry says of Pelicans: "We've [...]

David Lee wants more minutes, but the Boston Celtics don’t have them to dole out, which clearly means a trade request is on the way. Or not. From Mass Live’s Jay King: Asked directly about possibly requesting a trade due to disappearing playing time, Boston Celtics big man David Lee said he has not considered [...]

Rick Carlisle doesn’t have time for anymore of Rajon Rondo’s shenanigans. Not even if they could have been potentially detrimental to the livelihood of his Dallas Mavericks. Rajon Rondo and Rick Carlisle never really seemed to get along during the former’s stint in Dallas last season, hence why he ended up off the team midway [...]

Derek Fisher apparently doesn’t have unconditional job security with the New York Knicks. No head coach, save for maybe Gregg Popovich in San Antonio, and perhaps Rick Carlisle in Dallas, can necessarily say that about their situation. You don’t get into the NBA coaching game if you’re looking for stability. But Fisher is only in [...]

Goran Dragic does not miss playing for the Phoenix Suns. Amazing how far we’ve come, isn’t it? Dragic sort of revived his career in Phoenix, permanently establishing himself as a star talent at the point guard position during the Suns’ surprising 48-win 2013-14 campaign. But then that season ended. The Suns not only re-signed Eric [...]

Stephen Curry is a warrior. He’s also a Golden State Warrior. Curry re-aggravated a left knee injury against the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night that’s been giving him problems over the last two weeks. He missed games against the Dallas Mavericks and Houston Rockets and was limited to just 14 minutes against the Denver [...]

Members of the New York Knicks are beginning to trust, or perhaps express more trust, in, well the New York Knicks. Both the players and head coach Derek Fisher waxed optimism following the Knicks’ 107-101 win over the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday night, the team’s second in as many games, both of which have come [...]

Chandler Parsons just cannot seem to get right. The Dallas Mavericks swingman has struggled at points this season as he continues to work his way back from arthroscopic surgery. His minutes and appearances have been closely monitored, and his effective field-goal percentage is the lowest of his career. The Mavericks’ starting lineup has also fared [...]

Never accuse Los Angeles Lakers head coach Byron Scott of delivering veiled messages. You can accuse Hollywood’s head honcho of many things, including ignorance, inadvertently inconsistent messages and just general stubbornness. But you cannot say that he’s afraid to speak his mind, or that his players don’t know exactly how he feels about them, even [...]

Gregg Popovich doesn’t care that he was named NBA’s Coach of the Month for the Western Conference. And if the league wants him to care, it better break open its piggy bank. Because coach Pop won’t give a crap about monthly awards of any kind until they come accompanied with a car or yacht or [...]
