Peyton Siva surprised a lot of people when he agreed to sign with the Magic. For one thing, the Magic already had a full roster of 15 players (all on guaranteed contracts). And while Orlando has not been shy about dumping players that do not fit the team’s plans before their contracts run out, investing […]

LeBron James changed the game when he bolted Cleveland for Miami. This age of free agency and 24-hour news cycle created a world in which fans got excited about the rumors — JUST THE RUMORS — of a player leaving. The fact they all got blindsided by Miami swooping in made it more shocking. Players […]

For two years, we have waited for Derrick Rose. There have been glimpses of his return from injury. Pregame workouts in sweats, but barely anything wearing that familiar Bulls jersey.

The team, fresh off an Atlantic Division win and an appearance in the NBA Finals, was so low on cash, it considered selling the pick to finance its summer league team.
“With none of their preferred choices on the board, the Nets brass selected Creighton forward Kyle Korver with the 51st pick — and immediately sold his draft rights to the Sixers for $125,000. That covered summer league. With the leftover cash, the Nets bought a new copy machine.”

Houston’s Summer League representative in Orlando was nothing. Literally it was nothing. Clint Capela joined the team in Las Vegas a week later. He was not expected even to sign, stashed away in Europe as the Rockets cleared cap room to make a run at big-name free agents. This was exactly why the Rockets sent […]
