Cleveland Cavaliers coach David Blatt has some brass ones. Losers of their last five, the Cavaliers are fading fast. They’re now owners of the Eastern Conference’s sixth seed, behind the Milwaukee Bucks, and are 1-8 without LeBron James, whose nine absences are a single-season career high. Asked about the Cavaliers still having a Big Two [...]

Now that he’s no longer in New York, JR Smith seemingly feels he has the green light to open up about this season with the Knicks. The team is historically bad and Smith was never a fan of the triangle offense from day one and that feeling continues even though he’s donning the wine and [...]

Getting a signature sneaker (with your name and everything on it) from Nike makes you a member of an elite athlete club; most of the best talent in every sport at any time aren’t members but Kyrie Irving is. This is the latest colorway of his new Kyrie 1 basketball shoe. Named for his deceptive [...]

The Cavaliers’ pursuit of Kenyon Martin’s rim protecting services presumably came to an end when the team traded two 1st round picks for Timofey Mozgov. But that didn’t stop the Bucks from pursuing K-Mart. Milwaukee has signed the veteran to a 10-day contract. The Milwaukee Bucks are signing former All-Star power forward Kenyon Martin to [...]

The Clippers desperately need a competent small forward if they’re to survive the Western Conference’s contender-crammed bloodbath. So, naturally, they’re interested in trading for a guard. Doc Rivers’ crew is apparently trying to deal for the Sixers’ Tony Wroten Jr., per Dan Woike of the Orange County Register: [tweet https://twitter.com/DanWoikeSports/status/552916137860550656] John Gonzalez of CSNPhilly.com confirmed [...]

To the NBA trade-rumor mobile! Not two weeks ago, yours truly talked extensively about which teams would be the most aggressive buyers ahead of the Association’s Feb. 19 trade deadline. They were not excluded because I expected them to be sellers. No, no, no. It’s just that, since the Rudy Gay trade, they’ve prioritized stability [...]

When DeMar DeRozan went down with a groin injury, the Raptors were 13-3. They are 11-7 without him so fans will be happy to know that he will be returning to the court shortly. With DeRozan, the Raptors are the best team in the NBA that nobody talks about. Look for them to have a [...]
