Between trade rumors and repeated free agent pushes, DeRozan has flirted with joining the Lakers time and time again. It should come with at least …

LeBron James is still a free agent, and the Cleveland Cavaliers are still one of the teams trying to secure his services for next season. Whether or not they’re the front-runners to do so is anyone’s guess, even though other teams seem to think that they are. LeBron has always handled free agency differently than most. He and his team …

The feelings from what happened to the Illinois basketball team in March are still mixed right now. I am so proud of the way the Illini played and how we fought tooth and nail to get to the Final Four. The disappointment of not winning a national title is still there, though.
