The Detroit Pistons and Jason Maxiell have agreed to a $20 million, four-year contract extension. The deal has not yet been signed on paper but it has been confirmed by a basketball official who in anonymity reported the agreement to the Associated Press on Thursday.
Kevin Love
Kevin Love recalls that he has started every single basketball game in his life except once — when he let Lorenzo Mata-Real take the floor in his place on senior night last season. However, on Wednesday night, he had to wait until there was 1 minute and 12 seconds left in the quarter to make his NBA debut.
Shaquille O'Neal
A couple of weeks back, Shaq said in an interview that he would punish the Spurs this year if they were to implement the Hack-A-Shaq in the game. So when the Suns faced the Spurs last night, Shaq was on a mission.

Golden State Warrior Al Harrington is demanding to be traded.
According to sources, Harrington feels that Coach Don Nelson is not using him properly and he wants to go to a team where he can be utilized as more than just a spot-up shooter, not to mention play more minutes.

NBA Rumors was created by three college grads who played Division III NCAA basketball for Berkeley College. Back then, basketball was our life. A day did not go by without us talking about what was going on in the NBA.
Today, we are all working in our respective industries in Midtown Manhattan. And two years after we graduated, basketball started to fall out of our radar as we started spending more time in the office and less time on the court. Therefore, we created this blog to reunite our passion for the love of NBA and basketball across the world.
We hope that you will enjoy our blog. We are intensively working on our coffee breaks to bring you the best rumors that the NBA has to offer.
Sincerely,
