The Phoenix Suns traded disgruntled center Deandre Ayton in the offseason, bringing in Jusuf Nurkic. Nurkic, who previously was with the Portland Trail Blazers, is averaging 11.9 points and 10.2 rebounds. Nurkic against the Brooklyn Nets looked like a dominant force. He finished with 28 points on 11-of-15 shooting. The Suns’ center has been a […]

The 2023-24 campaign has been a rocky one for LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers, but they may be finding some momentum after picking up a pair of big wins over the Boston Celtics and New York Knicks in their past two games. And after their Monday night contest against the Charlotte Hornets, the […]

The odds of LeBron James actually getting traded prior to the 2024 trade deadline appear to be slim. After all, James’ agent Rich Paul said LeBron is not looking to be traded at the moment. Trade rumors are still swirling, though. Stephen A. Smith of ESPN thinks that joining the New York Knicks would give […]

The Sacramento Kings have been a steady force in the Western Conference this season.

Continuity […]

What will the Los Angeles Lakers do ahead of the NBA trade deadline? Should the Golden State Warriors feel a sense of urgency to make a big move?

In the beginning of 2024, LeBron James is a member of the Los Angeles Lakers, and his son, Bronny James, is on the USC basketball team. By the end of 2024, that could all change if Chandler Parsons is right with his NBA draft theory. For years, there’s been a thought that LeBron James has […]

The Boston Celtics crushed the undermanned Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday afternoon, blowing them out 131-91. But, the 40-point win at TD Garden was not the primary concern for a lot of Celtics fans.

Is Cam Thomas a part of the Brooklyn Nets’ future? It was a fair question to ask entering the 2023-24 season.

[…]

Former NBA and Duke basketball player Dahntay Jones played for coach George Karl on the Denver Nuggets and says the former North Carolina basketball star didn’t trust Blue Devils to play in crunch time. “George Karl, he’d play me the first six minutes of the first, the first six minutes of the third, and it […]

The 2023-24 season has not been kind to the Washington Wizards, as their 9-40 record is the second worst in the entire league with the trade deadline approaching.

One of the biggest highlights of the NBA All-Star Weekend is the 3-Point Contest, as it pits the league’s best shooters against each other in a riveting battle of outside marksmanship. This has produced plenty of memorable moments over the years, with Milwaukee Bucks star Damian Lillard, then with the Portland Trail Blazers, taking home […]

It feels as though Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray and the Los Angeles Lakers have been linked to each other forever, especially with the trade deadline coming right up on Thursday.

Bogdan Bogdanovic is an intriguing name to watch ahead of the trade deadline. The Atlanta Hawks are 20-27 and could be sellers at the deadline.

Philadelphia 76ers fans are already preparing to break out their “maybe next year” tagline following the devastating news that Joel Embiid is undergoing surgery on the meniscus tear he suffered at the end of January in a game against the Golden State Warriors. Though, the latest injury update could offer some optimism. Or confirm their […]

The crowd went mild when news broke of fourth-year Detroit Pistons guard Killian Hayes’ trade request.

Nonetheless, Hayes is only 22 years old, […]

The Chicago Bulls will, yet again, be one of the teams to watch with only a few days to go before the trade deadline passes. After all, despite Zach LaVine’s season-ending injury that should keep him on the team at least until the end of the season, the Bulls have a plethora of trade assets […]

The NBA Trade Deadline is a few days away and rumors are starting to circulate more than before. The Detroit Pistons, who had a record losing streak earlier in the season, are viewed as a team willing to sell multiple pieces. One player whose name has come up is Monte Morris, and he is reportedly […]

The Detroit Pistons, despite being a markedly improved team over the past few weeks (as evidenced by their huge win over the Oklahoma City Thunder back on January 28), remain a bad team.

Nearly two weeks ago, the Miami Heat made a well-received trade when they dealt away Kyle Lowry and a future first-round pick for Terry Rozier, giving the reigning Eastern Conference champion more firepower on the perimeter. Alas, the Heat haven’t exactly hit the ground running with Rozier in town. In fact, since integrating Rozier, the […]

The NBA trade deadline is just three days away and so far, the Charlotte Hornets have pulled off one major deal involving the Miami Heat.
