Is Stephen Curry cool with having Kevin Durant return to the Golden State Warriors? Nobody knows for sure, but even if he is, Curry is not going to do any Kevin Durant recruiting in public.

Is Wendell Moore Jr. going to contribute right off the bat for the Minnesota Timberwolves? Moore played at Duke for three seasons, with his finest season coming in his junior year following sluggish freshman and sophomore campaigns.

Did the Golden State Warriors just get a steal by drafting Patrick Baldwin Jr? The Warriors picked Patrick Baldwin Jr., a 6’9 big with much promise at 19 years old, with the No. 28 overall choice in the 2022 NBA Draft.

Do the Miami Heat have a potential unicorn in Serbian big man Nikola Jovic? The 19-year-old rookie may share all but one letter in his name with compatriot Nikola Jokic, but do the similarities end there? For now, pretty much.

Orlando Magic rookie Paolo Banchero believes the 2022 NBA Draft class has become underrated. He also believes that will just add fuel to the fire of this season’s rookies.

The San Francisco 49ers’ wide receivers will be the team’s barometer for the 2022 NFL season. It’s as plain and simple as that. NFL teams are investing more and more in their skill positions as the rules of football continue to change and move toward allowing more leeway for offenses to score heavily. In the […]

The Sacramento Kings surprised a lot of fans by picking Keegan Murray at No. 4. He’s probably good for it, though.

There is more drama in the Brooklyn Nets’ organization than in the rest of 2022 NBA free agency. Three moves can change all of that.

The Boston Celtics can still make a big splash in 2022 NBA free agency. Bigger than just Danilo Gallinari at least. Remember that in the city of Boston, the threshold for success is rather high. That is why, following the Celtics’ finest season in more than a decade, the topic of discussion has now shifted […]

For the first time ever, the Kansas City Chiefs will not have Tyreek Hill on their lineup, and that puts a lot of pressure on their receiving corps moving forward.

Just two seasons removed from being a top-four team in the Eastern Conference, the Indiana Pacers are all but revving up for a total rebuild.

The San Antonio Spurs have blown up their roster, but that doesn’t mean they have to be awful this coming season. After the historic deal that sent Dejounte Murray to the Atlanta Hawks, it is crystal clear that the Spurs are committed to a total rebuild of their roster. This was further underscored by the […]

The Boston Celtics scored high when they scored Danilo Gallinari. It’s obvious that the Celtics needed scoring punch off the bench, and that’s exactly what they can expect from Gallinari. He will be 34 when he begins the season in green and white up in the Northwest, but the Italian sensation doesn’t need to carry […]

There’s no reason the Golden State Warriors should not at least try to get Kevin Durant back. Reuniting with Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green shouldn’t be so bad, right?

What once looked like […]

The Philadelphia 76ers might just pull off the coup of the offseason if they can find a way to sign P.J. Tucker. As a kicker, he may not be the only one going the Sixers’ way as they have their sights on two more guys. 2 players I have been told to watch out for […]

The Brooklyn Nets have to invest in two things: their superstars and their future. That means letting go of aging assets and avoiding depreciating free agents.

In the last ten years, the NBA has seen a significant transition. Teams are shooting 3-pointers at a higher rate than ever before, and the game is moving much faster.

The Toronto Raptors bounced back from a horrific 2020-2021 season by finishing 5th in the Eastern Conference in 2021-2022.

First, the Raptors are well-positioned to contend now and in the future, […]
