Despite being a beneficial pickup by the Minnesota Timberwolves during this year’s NBA trade deadline, Malik Beasley’s time with Minnesota may well be over as he heads into the offseason as a restricted free agent. Minnesota has the option of extending a qualifying offer to Malik Beasley worth $3.8 million, which will likely be exceeded […]

With a 41.1 percent mark from the three-point line for his career, Washington Wizards forward Davis Bertans has established himself as one of the best shooters in the NBA.

Utah Jazz swingman Jordan Clarkson was fresh off an impressive performance in his first campaign with the team in the latter half of the 2019-2020 NBA season.

In just two years’ time, Brooklyn Nets guard-forward Joe Harris has doubled down his stock with the franchise, making him a coveted free agent as the offseason nears. As the Nets front office will strategically attempt to legitimize their roster in order to please their co-stars in Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, Harris will surely […]

The New York Knicks once again floundered near the bottom of the standings in the 2019-20 NBA season – which isn’t exactly surprising given the current state of the disenchanted franchise. Judging by the Knicks’ current makeup looks like they are bound to repeat the same grim fate if drastic changes won’t be made within […]

Arizona Cardinals gunslinger Kyler Murray is having himself a breakout campaign, but the quarterback’s breakout season is his own doing, as he’s getting some help in the process. Fourteen catches, 151 yards. 8 catches, 68 yards, 1 touchdown. 10 catches, 137 yards. 7 catches, 41 yards. 6 catches, 131 yards, 1 touchdown. 2 catches, 73 […]

Chicago Bulls point guard Kris Dunn becomes a restricted free agent this offseason once the Bulls offer him his qualifying offer worth $7,091,457.

With this year’s NFL trade deadline rapidly approaching, one thing remains certain—Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick definitely still has something left in the tank. Former Alabama Crimson Tide quarterback and 2020 first-round pick Tua Tagovailoa recently was named the new starter under center in Miami, making it entirely possible that the Dolphins look to trade […]

While we rarely saw him on the floor in the 2019-20 campaign, Tacko Fall has certainly become a fan favorite around the league. The Boston Celtics’ seldom-used backup center had a rather insignificant season in his rookie year, notching 3.3 points and 2.1 rebounds in seven regular-season games. Fall shot 78.6 percent from the field in […]

The story will always be told of how the Clippers possibly shortened their chance at their first championship years ago when they traded an unprotected, 2011 first-round pick to the Cleveland Cavaliers, a gem that later evolved into Kyrie Irving. While the soon-to-be “Lob City” squad did eventually trade for Chris Paul in efforts to […]

It is that daunting time period in between Weeks 7 and 8 of the NFL season that you are forced into making that tough decision of where your fantasy football team is, what moves need to be made, and if you have the right pieces in place to even come close to earning a postseason […]

Winning the NBA Finals in three of four years, signing a player to trade him for a former number one overall pick and a future first rounder, and then getting the second pick in the NBA Draft is an embarrassment of riches. It’s the story of the Golden State Warriors. With that said, the luxury […]

The Dallas Cowboys might need to weigh their options after seeing quarterback Andy Dalton go down with a concussion in Sunday’s 25-3 loss to The Washington Football Team.

The Cam Newton era got off to a good start with the New England Patriots. Newton won his Patriots debut, with offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels showing creativity by making Cam a legitimate part of the team’s rushing attack. The former NFL MVP completed 15 out of 19 passes in the Week 1 win and rushed […]

Unlike his older brother who entered the league as a highly-touted lottery pick, Seth Curry had a tougher road in his journey to the NBA. While he played three seasons for Duke and coach Mike Krzyzewski, he went undrafted in the 2013 Draft and had stints in the NBA Development League (now the G-League) before […]

According to SNY’s Ian Begley, the Indiana Pacers have interest in acquiring Gordon Hayward from the Boston Celtics. In June, The IndyStar’s J. Michael told NBC Sports Boston’s A. Sherrod Blakely that the Pacers would “no doubt” have interest in acquiring Hayward from Boston. This would be a forced transaction on the Pacers’ end. Hayward is […]

The Seattle SuperSonics franchise consistently found themselves in the postseason picture during the 1980 to 1990s era. They continued to make the playoffs even after trading away a valuable 5th overall pick in the 1987 NBA Draft. However, one can only wonder what could’ve been for Scottie Pippen, the Chicago Bulls, and the SuperSonics if […]

In 1998, the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors made a draft day trade involving two North Carolina Tar Heels standouts in Vince Carter and Antawn Jamison. For all those who may not know, Carter was initially slated to go to the Warriors with the no. 5 overall pick. Meanwhile, the Raptors took Jamison […]

The NBA Draft is a time of the year when teams can make or break their futures. Teams can find diamonds in the rough later in the draft, or select players that turn out to be major busts. The unpredictability makes it one of the most defining dates of the year for NBA franchises. Over […]

One week ago the San Francisco 49ers appeared dead in the water. Losers of two straight, and coming off the heels of an embarrassing 43-17 clobbering by the lowly Miami Dolphins, Kyle Shanahan’s group was suffering not only from a plethora of injuries, but an offense no longer able to stretch the field. What a […]

Kevin Love, LeBron James, and Andrew Wiggins know the Cleveland Cavs were fresh from another disappointing campaign in the 2013-2014 season that ended in a 10th-place finish with a 33-49 record.

Dirk Nowitzki is one of the greatest power forwards to ever play the game. If you had the privilege of watching a prime Nowitzki, it was like watching poetry in motion. Dirk is one of two players to have an unguardable shot (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, sky hook). His fadeaway jumper was impossible to stop . His […]

The Charlotte Hornets were presented with a golden opportunity to completely change the franchise’s fate back in the 1996 NBA Draft. At the time, they were already a relevant and up-and-coming team, which occasionally made postseason trips back in the 1990’s era. Little did they know that the 13th selection of Kobe Bryant ended up […]

The Chicago Bulls are coming off of yet another disappointing season, finishing 22-43 and marking the third straight season that the team has failed to hit 30 wins, or make the playoffs. The lottery drew the Bulls picking fourth, in a draft with three clear top prospects: Anthony Edwards, James Wiseman, and Lamelo Ball. Georgia […]

Sometimes guys who only made an impact for a short period of time make bank. Other times, players can make money in a variety of ways even if they’re impact on the court was short-lived. With that in mind, relatively speaking, we’re looking at Jeremy Lin’s net worth in 2020. It’s been more than a […]

Despite not playing during the 2019-20 season, John Wall’s net worth remains at a staggering amount. Wall was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2010 draft out of the University of Kentucky. He has career NBA averages of 19.0 points, 4.3 rebounds and 9.2 assists per game while shooting 43.3 percent from the field, […]

DeMarcus Cousins entered the NBA in 2010 as the fifth overall pick by the Sacramento Kings. Since then, Boogie has played for the New Orleans Pelicans and Golden State Warriors. Cousins was a member of the Los Angeles Lakers in 2019-20, but he didn’t play in a single game after tearing his ACL during a […]

Kawhi Leonard will likely spend out the rest of his contract, if not his career, with the Los Angeles Clippers.

The 3-2 Las Vegas Raiders will host the 4-2 Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 7 at their brand-new home turf, Allegiant Stadium. The Raiders had Week 6 off as their bye week. They pulled off a huge upset in Week 5 by going on the road and defeating the Kansas City Chiefs by a final […]

When the Los Angeles Lakers signed shooting guard Danny Green to a two-year, $30 million deal last offseason, the team knew they were getting one of the best 3-and-D guys in the NBA. But more than that, the Lakers knew that Green is, above all, a winner. At that point he, had won titles with […]

Jeff Teague is a free agent for the time since 2017. The 32-year-old point guard began the 2019-20 campaign with the Minnesota Timberwolves, before being traded midseason to the Atlanta Hawks. It marked Teague’s second go-around in Atlanta, having spent the first seven seasons of his career with the franchise. Teague, the No. 19 overall […]

LeBron James and his first-seeded Los Angeles Lakers just concluded a 4-2 series win over the unlikely Eastern Conference Champions, the fifth-seeded Miami Heat.

LeBron James, you may have heard, has played professional basketball and lived in Los Angeles since 2018. Correspondingly, he also now considers himself a fan of the Los Angeles Dodgers, who are aiming to earn the city its second major sports title of the fall after James led the Lakers to the franchise’s 17th championship […]

LeBron James is on top of the NBA world once again, after he led the Los Angeles Lakers to the franchise’s 17th overall championship.

After almost a year of wallowing in free agency, JR Smith found himself back in the NBA after the Los Angeles Lakers picked him up back in July to bolster their roster.

There have been an influx of international players coming into the NBA for the past few decades and this has done nothing but good for the league. One country that has been consistently sending notable athletes to the league would be Russia. Although Russian NBA players have been few and far between, there are a […]

Marcus Morris Sr. joins the long list of power forwards in this year’s rather thin NBA free-agent pool. The 6-foot-8 stretch four was not supposed to be in the market for another year, since he initially verbally agreed to a two-year, $20 million deal with the San Antonio Spurs before the 2019-20 campaign. However, he […]

The 5-0 Seattle Seahawks will look to remain undefeated in Week 7 when they travel to the desert to face the 4-2 Arizona Cardinals in an NFC West Divisional battle. The Seahawks had Week 6 off as their bye week. They defeated the Minnesota Vikings in Week 5 at home on Sunday Night Football, the […]
