Following a rather uneventful 2023 NBA Draft in which the Clippers selected two of […]

The Houston Rockets had arguably one of the best overall drafts in 2023. They were able to land Amen Thompson with the fourth overall pick before later selecting a player who was originally projected to go within the top 10 in Cam Whitmore. Because of injury concerns, Whitmore fell in the 2023 NBA Draft, but […]

The New York Knicks and Portland Trail Blazers shouldn’t get their hopes up about a potential Paul George trade.

As the 2023 NBA Draft approaches, the Paul George trade rumors are heating up. It’s safe to say the George and Kawhi Leonard Era with the Los Angeles Clippers has been a complete disaster, and now the must cut its losses and get what it can for its aging stars. George seems like the likely […]

All of a sudden, it’s now very much possible we see an entirely new-look Clippers side next season. NBA […]

The Kawhi Leonard-Paul George era of the Los Angeles Clippers hasn’t borne much fruit yet. In four years, they made the Western Conference Finals just once, flaming out year after year due to injury (and in 2020, an untimely choke job).

The NBA has indeed become a global league. Players from all over the world, especially in Europe, have been constantly arriving and dominating the NBA.
