Jahlil Okafor is not a fan of trade rumors. On Saturday, Calkins Media’s Tom Moore reported that the Philadelphia 76ers “tried like hell” to deal Okafor ahead of the draft but couldn’t find a palatable deal. He then revealed that the absence of a trade frustrated the young big man and his camp (h/t CBS [...]

Well, Boban Marjanovic’s reign as the San Antonio Spurs’ most obscure celebrity will end up lasting all of one year. The human novelty/7’3″ monster agreed to a modest offer sheet with the Detroit Pistons, according to ESPN.com’s Stein: [tweet https://twitter.com/ESPNSteinLine/status/751063936724717568] Three years and $21 million is nothing in this cap climate.

Maybe a Russell Westbrook trade is more likely than we thought. It instantly became a possibility after Kevin Durant decided to join the Golden State Warriors.

Much to the chagrin, horror and heartache of Thunder fans across the country, Kevin Durant chose to celebrate his July 4th by declaring his [...]

If Al Horford had re-signed with the Atlanta Hawks instead of joining the Boston Celtics, there’s a good-to-really-good chance Paul Millsap would be a member of the Denver Nuggets right now.

Now that Kevin Durant is a member of the Golden State Warriors, it’s only a matter of time before the Oklahoma City Thunder cut their losses and trade Russell Westbrook. Or maybe not. As ESPN.com’s Royce Young explained: They still have Westbrook, though, at least for another year. He’s an unrestricted free agent next summer [...]

It seems the Toronto Raptors are already trying to prepare for life without Bismack Biyombo. According to ESPN.com’s Zach Lowe, the Raptors are trying to poach Nerlens Noel from the center-laden Philadelphia 76ers: The Raptors will need to move at least one big deal to have any hope of retaining both DeMar DeRozan and Biyombo, [...]

Butler entered the league when Rose was the MVP, but of course, Derrick hasn’t seen much of the court since. In his time out, Butler has somewhat emerged as the face of the franchise.
