The Nets brought Jason Collins in for a workout during all-star weekend and subsequently signed him to a 10-day contract Sunday morning. Sunday night, he was with the team as they played the Lakers in Staples Center. During the second quarter, he checked in with about 10 minutes remaining and made history. 35-year-old Jason Collins [...]

Kenneth Faried knows how to handle trade rumors. Leading up to the Feb. 20 trade deadline, the third-year forward was linked to plenty of scuttlebutt. Nothing ever came to fruition, so he remains a member of the (slumping) Denver Nuggets. Still, incessant rumors can damage a player’s psyche. Look at Iman Shumpert of the New [...]

To that end, the team traded for veteran PG Steve Blake from the Lakers to add depth to their backcourt. But of course, salaries played a part on both sides. The Lakers began their rebuilding [...]

Kevin Love is really good at pointing out the obvious. During an interview with GQ‘s Steve Marsh, the Minnesota Timberwolves’ 2015 free-agent-to-be was of course asked about his future, which was of course tied to the Los Angeles Lakers, so of course Love was forced to address the issue and of course his response was [...]

Andre Miller will go down as one of the more under-appreciated PGs of his era. He was never blessed with athleticism or blinding quickness, but he has always been very savvy. Unforunately, he and Denver coach Brian Shaw never saw eye to eye. That’s part of the reason why he’s now a Wizard. In Washington, [...]
