LeBron James: DeAndre Jordan Would Have Given Boost To Cavs

Mar 10, 2018 11:58 AM

DeAndre Jordan had 20 points and 23 rebounds in the Clippers' 116-102 win over the Cavaliers on Friday.

LeBron James was asked about the possible trade Cleveland could have made for Jordan at the deadline.

"I don't play fantasy basketball," James said. "I knew the conversations were going on from the outside. I seen it. If it would have happened it would have gave us a boost but it didn't happen so you move on."

Jordan can become a free agent in the offseason.

The Cavaliers instead made a pair of moves that netted Jordan Clarkson, Larry Nance Jr., Rodney Hood and George Hill.

Clippers Agree To Jersey Sponsorship With Bumble

Mar 6, 2018 11:51 AM

The Los Angeles Clippers have agreed to a jersey sponsorship deal with Bumble.

Bumble is a dating app geared for women that also has functionality for friendship and business conversations. Bumble requires women to message first.

The Clippers are calling the Bumble logo on the uniform an "empowerment badge," pledging to invest in promoting gender equality.

"We wanted to do something where we could really stand out and do something meaningful," Clippers owner Steve Ballmer said. "The way it is positioned it becomes part of the game, so it's an opportunity to have more meaning for everybody."

The Clippers' deal with Bumble marks the 20th jersey patch alliance struck for this season, the first year of a three-year pilot program by the NBA.

The 10 teams that have yet to sign deals are the Chicago Bulls, Washington Wizards, Oklahoma City Thunder, Houston Rockets, Indiana Pacers, Dallas Mavericks, Phoenix Suns, Portland Trail Blazers, Memphis Grizzlies and San Antonio Spurs.

Bloomberg reports it will be worth $20 million over three years.

Derrick Rose Has Only Received 10-Day Contract Interest

Mar 1, 2018 10:37 AM

Derrick Rose has yet to receive a significant offer since becoming a free agent. Rose has received several 10-day contracts, according to sources.

Rose was waived by the Jazz following his trade from the Cavaliers.

Rose signed a veteran's minimum contract in the offseason with Cleveland.

"The injuries and lack of enthusiasm to play hurts him," a Western Conference executive told B/R.

Rose has interest in an opportunity that could be a longer term fit.

"He's not trying to go into a developing situation or trying to find out who is he is," a person close to Rose told B/R. "He knows who he is as a player."

Rose's camp hopes the Thunder could have interest in him. Some rival general managers speculate that the Clippers are interested.

There has been no communication between Rose and the Wolves.
