Russell Westbrook is no stranger to criticism for his on-court performance – criticism which most would agree has at times been over the top. But a consistent theme throughout the course of his career has been the adulation of his teammates, with glowing reports of what he is like to be on a team with […]

Load management has been in a lot of NBA fans’ vocabulary. It is often done when a star player paces themselves, does not play in a nationally televised game, or when a coach decides to rest multiple stars against a losing team. This devalues some tickets and fan experiences given that they wanted to see […]

James Harden is putting his feet on the ground, refusing to budge on his trade demands three months after initially declaring that he wanted out of the Philadelphia 76ers. According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, Harden did not attend the Sixers’ media day on Monday morning, remaining “upset” that the team hasn’t yet given in […]

The Los Angeles Clippers are planning to sign free agent guard Josh Primo to a two-way contract, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. The news comes just several hours after the 20-year-old was suspended for four games by the NBA for exposing himself to women. Primo, the No. 12 overall pick of the 2021 NBA draft, […]

The Philadelphia 76ers would probably love to find a way to turn James Harden into Jrue Holiday. Just don’t expect the Sixers to make it happen. Despite speculation of a three-way trade that would put Jrue Holiday on the Sixers and Harden on the Los Angeles Clippers, no such deal appears to be on the […]

After a massive blockbuster trade that saw Damian Lillard head to Milwaukee and Jrue Holiday land in Portland, the Los Angeles Clippers should be blowing up the Blazers’ phones in an effort to land Jrue Holiday in a trade. The Clippers won’t be alone in a pursuit to land Holiday, as he’s the perfect third […]

Philadelphia 76ers’ disgruntled star James Harden is left with few options at the moment. While he’s been adamant about his desire to be traded, the Los Angeles Clippers have walked away from negotiations with the Sixers. No other team has shown serious interest in acquiring him, which means the guard is essentially a rock in […]

The trade of Damian Lillard to the Milwaukee Bucks took the NBA world by storm on Wednesday, but when it was revealed that Jrue Holiday was heading to the Portland Trail Blazers in the deal and would be flipped to another contender, that created another story to watch before the start of the season, and […]

The Milwaukee Bucks made things a whole lot more interesting heading into NBA training camp by landing Damian Lillard. This is bad, bad news for the Philadelphia 76ers, who now see one of their superior conference adversaries get even better.

With the 2023-24 NBA season rapidly approaching, teams are in the process of filling out their training camp roster.

Blockbuster deals are the best type of trades, especially when they come out of left field. That’s what happed Wednesday afternoon when the Milwaukee Bucks swooped in out of nowhere to swing a massive trade with the Portland Trail Blazers for seven-time All-Star and All-NBA player Damian Lillard. Shams Charania of The Athletic laid out […]

The NBA didn’t single out any team or player specifically when announcing new rest rules for the upcoming season. It doesn’t take much deduction or critical thinking for even the most casual NBA fan to know exactly which franchise is bound to be most affected by the player participation policy. Unsurprisingly, betting markets have taken […]

Paul George and the Los Angeles Clippers never had the chance to realize their championship dreams in 2022-23. Not only was George sidelined in late March by a nagging right knee sprain that caused him to miss the postseason’s entirety, but Kawhi Leonard—dealing with his own sprained right knee, suffered in Game 2 of the […]

More than 50 years after they entered the NBA as the Buffalo Braves in 1970, the Los Angeles Clippers are still yet to achieve the ultimate success. They’ve never even made it out of the Western Conference, and up until 2010 were wildly unsuccessful, making the postseason just seven times in 40 years. But despite […]

Over two months have passed since James Harden opted into his contract with the Philadelphia 76ers for the 2023-24 season with the intention of receiving a trade to his intended destination — the Los Angeles Clippers.

This might be the first season since Kawhi Leonard and Paul George joined the Los Angeles Clippers that they don’t have any preseason hype.

When Steve Ballmer bought the Los Angeles Clippers in 2014, he envisioned the organization becoming a championship contender, something they have never been known to be. Living in the shadow of the Los Angeles Lakers in the same arena, the Clippers have never truly been viewed as a real force in the Western Conference. The […]

With the Philadelphia 76ers set to officially begin their training camp on October 3, the time to reach a peaceful resolution with James Harden is running out. Many fans expect the 10-time All-Star to strong-arm the Sixers into a trade, but it seems that his preferred destination of the Los Angeles Clippers is no longer […]

The Los Angeles Clippers are one of the most exciting teams in the NBA. They have a talented roster that has the potential to compete for a championship.

In late June, the Celtics were hours away from sending Malcolm Brogdon across the country.

However, Brogdon’s recent injury to his shooting arm halted the […]

As training camp fast approaches, it seems increasingly unlikely James Harden will get his wish of a trade to the LA Clippers. Daryl Morey and the Philadelphia 76ers’ refusal to accept a mediocre return for the future Hall-of-Famer, though, isn’t the only obstacle that could prevent Harden from playing the 2023-24 season in his native […]

However, the duo got an optimistic update […]

It felt like eons ago when Damian Lillard’s trade request from the Portland Trail Blazers went public back on July 1st.

There hasn’t been much […]

They are not. That’s right. They are not affected by it.

If anything because it’s […]

Is time running out on the Los Angeles Clippers’ championship chances?

The Los Angeles Clippers, for much of its existence, have been one of the most terrible teams in the entire NBA.
