Conspiracy debunked: Tobias Harris and J. Cole
By Joe Imburgia
"I mean, have you ever seen Tobias Harris and J. Cole in the same room together? I didn’t think so. This theory was ongoing and alive until this past weekend. Harris was in attendance for the BillBoard Hot 100 fest on Sunday night in New York. J. Cole was performing there and met with Harris backstage after the show."

Detroit Pistons Player Profile: Aron Baynes
"Baynes will likely start the season as the go-to backup big man, however his work in training camp and play over the first month of the season while be a big determining factor in how much of a role he has going forward.With 2016-17 being a contract year, expect Aron Baynes to go all out and try to establish his dominance as a part of a much improved Detroit Pistons bench."
A look at the Central Division Part three: Chicago Bulls
By Lennie King
"You don’t need to look very far into the history of either of these central division foes to see why they share one of the great rivalries the NBA has ever seen. It was just last season the Pistons and Bulls went at it in a four overtime thriller. Detroit coming out on top after some late Reggie Jackson’s heroics.The rivalry dates all the way back to the late 1980s where the great Detroit bad boys battled with some young kid by the name of Michael Jordan, you may have heard of him. The fire still looms in these clubs when they come up against one another year in and year out."
