Derek Fisher’s first year as head coach of the Knicks didn’t go too smoothly. But that was to be expected. Phil Jackson was busy gutting the roster in order to make cap space for guys who ultimately didn’t sign in New York, so Fisher wasn’t coaching in a stable environment. Nonetheless, Fish has apparently asked [...]

Jeremy Lin did a reddit AMA on Wednesday, and, naturally, he tackled the important questions. Like whether former Los Angeles Lakers teammate is a super genius. It all started when Lin was asked about the funniest teammates he has ever played alongside, to which he responded (h/t HoopsHype): Jeremy, who’s the funniest guy you’ve ever [...]

New Orleans Pelicans head coach Alvin Gentry isn’t messing around when it comes to Jrue Holiday. After missing just 14 games through the first four seasons of his career, all of which were spent with the Philadelphia 76ers, Holiday has missed 90 over the last two.

Thompson’s months-long standoff with the Cleveland Cavaliers is truly shocking. Want to know why? Because of LeBron James. It’s not that Thompson is so valuable the Cavaliers should have bent to his max-contract demands already. It’s not that Cleveland is playing hard ball, when it’s not as if it can take the money allocated for [...]

So as it turns out, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban isn’t over this whole “Doc Rivers and the Los Angeles Clippers stole DeAndre Jordan back from us” thing. And, really, who could blame him? I mean, to put it simply, the Mavericks had Jordan, one of the top free agents available, and then, quite suddenly, [...]
