The Denver Nuggets are in prime position to take home the Larry O’ Brien trophy this season. Behind the herculean efforts of Nikola Jokic, the team has looked near-unstoppable in the last few weeks.

As veteran guard Russell Westbrook tries to determine his next step, former NBA star Gilbert Arenas has rushed to the defense of the nine-time All-Star. Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal, Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green, and Los Angeles Lakers big man all Anthony Davis called out the disparaging remarks about Westbrook being a toxic […]

Nikola Jokic has reached the level that eye-popping stats are just expected from him. Triple-doubles seem almost routine, with efforts like Wednesday’s home win over the Dallas Mavericks- 14 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists- seeming like an off game for the Nuggets superstar. Yet, he still finds ways to raise the bar. Jokic went […]

Los Angeles Clippers eight-time All-Star Paul George is no stranger to trades. While he’s only been traded once himself — from the Oklahoma City Thunder to the Clippers in 2019 — he’s a 13-year veteran that’s seen more than his fair share of the NBA’s business side. So, as George speaks on the trade deadline […]

It’s not too often that a contending team with few draft assets to trade and limited cap room to spare gives up on a cost-controlled 22-year old guard who has two years left on his rookie deal following this season.

Nikola Jokic came up big yet again for the Denver Nuggets on Saturday as they cruised to a 119-105 win over the Charlotte Hornets. The reigning back-to-back league MVP dropped a casual 30-point, 16-rebound, 10-assist triple-double in a type of performance that has pretty much become second nature for him. More importantly, though, the Nuggets […]

Los Angeles Clippers guard Bones Hyland might have wound up with the New York Knicks had the Denver Nuggets decided to trade for wing Cam Reddish.
