Celtics’ Isaiah Thomas to recruit Kevin Durant in free agency

The Boston Celtics aren’t one of the first teams to come to mind when one thinks of Kevin Durant’s upcoming trip to free agency. Point guard Isaiah Thomas wants them to be, though. Thomas, who had a breakout season this year with averages of 22.2 points, 6.2 assists and 3.0 rebounds per game, posted a […]

Lakers cooling on Dragan Bender, like Brandon Ingram at No. 2

Most presume it’s Brandon Ingram or Ben Simmons for the Los Angeles Lakers with the No. 2  pick in the 2016 NBA draft. A fair conclusion to come to given the talent of both prospects and what the Lakers need to actually get out of the quagmire that is the league’s worst rebuild. But the […]

Kevin Love on trade block if Cavaliers lose Finals vs. Warriors?

Kevin Love is the scapegoat. The Cleveland Cavaliers find themselves in a 2-0 hole against the Golden State Warriors after failing to match their opponent’s pace in miserable fashion Sunday, taking a 110-77 whipping. But the blame isn’t going to fall on LeBron James for obvious reasons, even if he has played like a turnover […]

Knicks hope Jeff Hornacek can attract major free agents

Phil Jackson and the New York Knicks came out of unexpected territory with the hiring of new head coach Jeff Hornacek. Most figured Jackson would go with a more familiar friend, maybe a Kurt Rambis even despite public demands by Carmelo Anthony for a say in the matter. While at first confusing, the plan in […]

Celtics impressed with Dragan Bender after overseas visit

Given how the Boston Celtics continue to talk about Dragan Bender, the No. 3 pick in the 2016 NBA draft doesn’t seem like much of a mystery. The Celtics don’t figure to have a shot at either Brandon Ingram or Ben Simmons at No. 3. Bender, though, wouldn’t be a terrible consolation prize seeing as […]

Jeff Teague-Nerlens Noel trade rumors continue

The Atalanta Hawks dealing point guard Jeff Teague to the Philadelphia 76ers for big man Nerlens Noel seems like a win-win deal for all involved. With the 76ers clutching the top pick in the draft and not wanting to waste it on a point, dealing one of their excess big men makes sense. For the […]

Mike D’Antoni has plans for Dwight Howard

The Dwight Howard – Mike D’Antoni marriage gets another shot with the Houston Rockets next season. Well, maybe. The Rockets brought on D’Antoni as head coach recently knowing full and well the marriage just didn’t work when the two were members of the Los Angeles Lakers a few years ago. Despite the debacle, is sounds like […]

Dirk Nowitzki reveals future NBA plans

Dirk Nowitzki seems to have a few options going into this summer. The 37-year-old superstar can stick with the Dallas Mavericks, exercise a player option or, the worst-case scenario—retire. Nowitzki is up there in age so his hanging up the sneakers wouldn’t be a major shocker. This is especially the case considering the Mavericks look […]

Hawks to make strong push at Kevin Durant in free agency?

It’s no secret the Atlanta Hawks need to blow things up this summer. The Hawks seemed to contemplate doing just that at the trade deadline. Instead, the front office kept the gang together, escaped the first round of the playoffs against the Boston Celtics, only to get whipped with a broom by the Cleveland Cavaliers […]

Reggie Jackson trolls Thunder after OKC’s Game 7 loss

Detroit Pistons guard Reggie Jackson just doesn’t care for the Oklahoma City Thunder. Jackson played for the Thunder for three years but had an ugly split with the organization. He seemed to get the last laugh Monday, though, when the Golden State Warriors rallied from a 3-1 hole to upend the Thunder. Right on cue, […]

Draymond Green kicked Andre Roberson in the Face (video)

The Golden State Warriors’ Draymond Green might have a future in MMA. Already in hot water for kicking Steven Adams of the Golden State Warriors in the groin but somehow avoiding a suspension, one would think Green had a mind to chill out with the violent moves. Or not. During Golden State’s 120-111 vicotry in […]

Charles Barkley challenged to fight by Warriors fan?

Charles Barkley doesn’t make a lot of friends. The TNT analyst picked the Oklahoma City Thunder to beat the Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference Finals before the series. A Golden State fan didn’t like that too much and challenged Barkley to throw hands at a hotel. USA Today‘s Sam Amick shared the details: […]

Jason Terry talks Dwight Howard’s trip to free agency

Count Houston Rockets guard Jason Terry as one of the few people who don’t buy into the notion of Dwight Howard opting for free agency this summer. Most believe it’s going to happen. Howard has a player option and the Rockets were the league’s biggest disappointments last year. It doesn’t help that Howard has had […]
