Breathe easy Knicks fans. Carmelo Anthony isn't going anywhere. At least for now. However, if you are a Lakers fan or a Heat fan this bit of news may bum you out. Anthony is set to be a free agent after next season, if he does not exercise his player option for the 2014-15 season, […]

The Atlanta Hawks front line rotation is going to be a tough load to handle in the Eastern Conference this coming season. Al Horford, Paul Milsap and Elton Brand will hold down the paint, while Mike Scott (non-guaranteed contract) and draft picks Lucas Nogueira and Mike Muscala (both still unsigned) are part of the equation […]

When you hear about HGH in sports, you might think of super-jacked baseball players with heads that have grown three sizes since their rookie years, blasting 450-foot home runs every other at-bat. But HGH permeates the sports world. Athletes in many sports have been busted trying to cheat with HGH. And when you compare the […]

In the business of the NBA, analyzing rumors from all possible angles simply comes with the territory for the numerous media coverage dedicated to every facet of the game. Trades get leaked. Front office and head coaching changes are reported days – sometimes months — in advance. Heck, some reporters and columnists actually never have […]

At this point for the Bulls coaching staff and fans, any sign that Derrick Rose's surgically repaired knee is back to 100% is a welcome sight. With that being said, it may have been an 8-foot rim but Rose, while in Spain, decided to rock the rim (h/t gamedayr.com) with through-the-legs dunk. Hey, it is […]

One of the bigger surprises of NBA free agency is perhaps the fact that Nikola Pekovic’s future with the Minnesota Timberwolves is still unresolved, and not really that close to being resolved. Pekovic and his representatives will meet with Timberwolves president of basketball operations Flip Saunders, owner Glen Taylor, and head coach Rick Adelman on […]

The NBA added a new twist to its Summer League by having championship games in both Orlando and Las Vegas. While some teams certainly did not take the competitive aspect as much to heart as others, it certainly added some spice to the proceedings. And now there are two teams entering the history books. Or […]

December 5, 2009. That is the last time Greg Oden appeared in an NBA game. All the rumors and reports since then have ranged from retirement to annual comebacks for the former first overall pick in 2007 by Portland. But this time a return to the league inches closer with each day as probably the […]

So this is going to be interesting. Needless to say, Lakers' Nick Young has a reputation as a chucker. There is no spot from anywhere on the court that Nick won't shoot from and show just how much he doesn't know the words "passing the ball." Then there's Kobe Bryant. A player who throughout his […]

For a decade and a half, Paul Pierce has pulled a Boston Celtics jersey over his head, stepped out on the floor, and did everything he could to help carry the team to a win. That was his job. Fifteen years and nearly 27,000 combined regular season and playoff points later Pierce now finds […]

It is hard to argue against Marcus Camby’s 17-year NBA career and the experience he brings to any team in the league at 39 years old. So do not just assume this is another roster filler free-agent signing that is about to go down over the next few days. Far from it. Camby cleared waivers […]

How do you know it is the NBA offseason? This video you are about to see of Mavericks' Dirk Nowitzki singing in the backseat of a car. It seems the former NBA MVP had quite some time on his hands as he sang "Satisfaction" with the Mavs dancers driving Dirk and his buddy German DJ […]

The NBA's Board of Governors met in Las Vegas during the NBA Summer League to discuss several potential rule changes, the renaming of the Bobcats and the potential for new cities to host NBA franchises in the near future. There was also some accounting. Some odd accounting. The Oklahoma City Thunder were reimbursed roughly $15 […]
