Tristan Thompson appears to be holding firm on his demands for more money. He reportedly turned down a 5-year, $80 million deal from the Cavs because he feels he deserves the max. He’s so set on that notion because he feels he can get that money from Toronto next summer. At what point does the [...]

Anthony Davis is like the Energizer Bunny of fear: He just keeps getting scarier and scarier and scarier and scarier. Last week, we riffed on the Brow bulking up and turning the NBA’s fellow power forwards and centers into his own personal playthings.

How many titles could Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal have won if their partnership never dissolved? Who knows. They ended up with three. Shaq won another with the Miami Heat, and Kobe went on to win two more with the Los Angeles Lakers. Had they stayed together, though, you get the sense they could have [...]

That, or he needs to sign his qualifying offer, play through the 2015-16 season, become an unrestricted free agent next summer and…join the Toronto Raptors.
