He is also vying to bring back Middleton and his friends, and finally put the 2013 sign fiasco to bed.

Sacramento Kings DeMarcus Cousins was previously been in numerous trade rumors the past few months and then it just fades away. And now, Cousins is hitting again the trade buzz and looks like he is heading his way to the Portland Trail Blazers.

Many believe that he is not happy with his role in the Cleveland Cavaliers. Many also say that his playing skill is not mixing well alongside LeBron James and Kyrie Irving. That's why many think his caliber, a former All-Star, are needed by others teams and not by the Cavs. And in the latest trade rumor, Love will be traded in exchange for a guard.

Durant’s departure means Russell Westbrook is likely on his way out too. You know it, I know it, and the Thunder know it. Hopefully, Oklahoma City can get decent talent in return if they trade Westbrook, but the franchise may never be the

Tim Duncan loves the game of basketball. He doesn't mind the money it brings in, either. Yet, unlike many who are clamoring for ungodly salaries in the financial stratosphere, and even refusing to show up to practice if they don't get their huge payday, Duncan has chosen to go the other direction. He took a huge pay cut.

2016 was the year that the craziest free agency signing happened in NBA history. Kevin Durant decided to join the Golden State Warriors. This is the team that had just broke the record for most wins in a season and after that season they add the second-best player in the NBA. His decision to sign with them put a huge target on his back, because a lot of NBA fans including myself considered the move weak. Some fans even said that it was the same thing LeBron did in 2010; leaving the Cleveland Cavaliers to sign with the Miami Heat. There are a few things that are similar between the two, but I completely disagree with the people who think that it’s the same. Kevin Durant signing with the Warriors is worse than LeBron signing with the Heat.

They are the vets that give the Spurs its “team over me” ethos that head coach Gregg Popovich preaches. Without the vets fully

Nine-time NBA All-Star Chris Paul had a remarkable scoring night of 28 points with 12 assists to register another double-double game performance for the Clippers, who are currently 18-8 at home this season. Paul, who attended the funeral of Thunder assistant coach Monty Williams’ wife Ingrid, played with a game-high 37 minutes.

But throughout his career, Jackson has struggled to get to the free-throw line (1.8 attempts per game) and hit threes (career 29.4 percent shooter). Though it was a small sample size, he thrived with the Detroit Pistons as their full-time point guard. They seem intent on matching any offers for the 25-year-old point guard, as reports are Brandon Jennings is on the trade block. I’d be surprised if Detroit doesn’t lock him up for a long-term deal.

However, Blazer's Edge reported that the Spurs already denied reports that Aldridge will be traded by the team saying that there are no talks with other teams with regards to Aldridge status. The report also says that the reason behind Aldridge's drop in productivity last season is his unfamiliarity to coach Gregg Popovich system that many analysts have already
