NBA Rumors
Chris Paul never asked for trade
Back in early July, when the free-agent floodgates got thrown open, the New York Daily News reported that New Orleans Hornets star Chris Paul felt that team owner George Shinn had "lied" to him about upgrading the team this offseason. Paul is under contract till the end of 2012 but the paper reported that Paul was unhappy with his situation there, which is likely what led to him saying in a speech at Carmelo Anthony's wadding in New York City, "We'll form our own Big 3," referring to himself, Anthony, and the big addition to the New York Knicks this offseason, Amar'e Stoudemire
Three teams ask about Hawks’ Crawford
It became clear early this week that Atlanta Hawks guard Jamal Crawford and his agent want the team to hand over a contract extension so that he won't be a free agent next summer. If that can't be done, he'd like to be moved elsewhere.
Bucks expect Bogut back for season’s start
Milwaukee Bucks center Andrew Bogut's season ended a little early last year when he broke bones in his right hand, fractured his right hand, and dislocated his right elbow after dunking against the Phoenix Suns on April 3. He's still not ready to be in an NBA lineup, but the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel is reporting that the Bucks are hoping and expecting that the seven-foot Australian will be ready to go when the season kicks off.

His anger manifested in the form of three successive tweets , according to WEEI, that read: "Boston lost to lakers because of [the] Kendrick Perkins injury.

Cavaliers, at sub-.500, to blow up roster at trading deadline?
The Cleveland Cavaliers were a fairly stable franchise during the LeBron James Era, but now that the team is moving into life without the kid from Akron, things aren't expected to be so solid. The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports that there aren't any trades currently planned, but if the team can't get itself above .500 at mid-season, there could be a lot of player movement. The Plain Dealer claims that if that's the case, the team will put Mo Williams , Antawn Jamison , Anthony Parker and Jamario Moon on the trading block and is guessing there's a 60/40 chance right now that Jamison will be gone before the trading deadline passes.
Hawks’ Crawford looking for extension
Atlanta Hawks guard Jamal Crawford tallied up 18 points, 2.5 rebounds, and three assists per game last year in his first season with the team.

The Denver Nuggets are now really trying to get rid of disgruntled superstar forward Carmelo Anthony and NBA.com has it that he'll likely go to one of three teams . The site reports that the New Jersey Nets , Minnesota Timberwolves , and Sacramento Kings are the three teams that the Nuggets are most interested in trading Anthony, who has one year left on his contract and a three-year, $65 million extension offer on the table from the Nuggets. The only one of those teams that is thought to be possibly on the list of teams Anthony gave to the Nuggets last year is the Nets since it's moving to Brooklyn in a few years and has a basketball-loving owner with some bucks that he's willing to spend
