Taylor Jenkins is struggling to manage the Memphis Grizzlies guard rotation.

Perhaps most telling about Victor Wembanyama’s first three weeks in the NBA is that the games that don’t qualify as good, don’t do so because they weren’t great. He scored 18 in a 115-114 October 31 win at Phoenix, put up 20 but didn’t get the ball down the stretch in an overtime loss to […]

The Chicago Bulls are at a bit of a crossroads when it comes to the future of their roster.

Despite being tied for the third-best record in the Eastern Conference at 7-4, the Milwaukee Bucks have tipped off their 2023-24 NBA season in rather underwhelming fashion.

The Chicago Bulls are in shambles and chances are they will blow things up at the trade deadline if things don’t improve. That means Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan, and Alex Caruso could all be gone.
