According to his recent Instagram activity, the Houston Rockets guard would be more than happy to rejoin his former team.

In one of the best under-the-radar moves this offseason the Boston Celtics traded for Malcolm Brogdon. The Pacers guard has been rumored to be on the move for quite some time and the Celtics were able to put a package together to pique their interest. For the price of a 2023 first-round pick, Daniel Theis […]

The Boston Celtics were back on the court for the first time since their season-ending Game 6 loss at the hands of the Golden State Warriors in the 2022 NBA Finals. Considering how it was for Summer League action rather than a championship, the stakes were considerably lower. Truthfully, the Celtics didn’t have much they […]

After weeks without a deal, Deandre Ayton is officially signed to the Phoenix Suns for four more years. The center announced his $133 million deal Tuesday night, and he’s ready to get back to work.

The 2021-22 NBA season gave fans some hope as the Minnesota Timberwolves returned to the playoffs after four years.

The Philadelphia 76ers needed to upgrade their roster after losing to the Miami Heat in six games of the Eastern Conference Semifinals. Things got started on the night of the 2022 NBA Draft. During the draft, the Sixers sent the 23rd overall pick and 35-year-old swingman Danny Green to the Memphis Grizzlies in exchange for […]

The Charlotte Hornets finished the Las Vegas Summer League 2-3, but a few good things came from those five games. Some of the young players showed that they could be deserving of a roster spot. The other batch could find themselves playing for the G League affiliate in Greensboro with a chance to play some […]

The Atlanta Hawks have a potential All-Star backcourt duo now, but was the price of the acquisition worth it? Remember that the Hawks reached the Eastern Conference Finals in 2021 after a change of head coaches and a second-half surge. That raised hopes for an even stronger showing the following season. Early in the 2021-2022 […]

The Toronto Raptors have an exciting young core that is still early in their developmental process. The franchise has a defined style of play and has embraced positionless basketball. They had an exciting season last year which included a red-hot end to the regular season. Their overall 48-34 record gave them the fifth seed in […]

The Kevin Durant trade talks have stalled after an initial rush to inquire about the superstar’s services. The asking prices being reported around the league have been exorbitantly high and perhaps the initial wave of suitors have been cooled on conversations with Brooklyn Nets GM Sean Marks. That’s opened the door for some more funky […]

The Toronto Raptors seem to have checked all the boxes in the offseason, but could something else be brewing soon? The Toronto Raptors really went into free agency with only two key objectives. As soon as the free agency clock started ticking, they re-signed Chris Boucher and Thaddeus Young. They wasted no time doing what […]

The Portland Trail Blazers had a very disappointing 2021-22 season. Everything seemed to go wrong for the longtime Western Conference playoff contenders, and it resulted in them missing the playoffs for the first time since 2013. Damian Lillard missed most of the season with injuries, and his longtime partner-in-crime, CJ McCollum, was traded to the […]

The 2022-23 season has exciting potential for the Denver Nuggets. The franchise was eliminated by the NBA Champion Golden State Warriors in the opening round of the playoffs last year. The strong play of back-to-back MVP Nikola Jokic carried the team to a 48-34 record last season. The superstar is set to have some reinforcements […]

The Atlanta Hawks 2021-22 campaign was a massive letdown. After an unexpected run to the Eastern Conference Finals the season before, many thought Atlanta would be primed to build off their deep playoff run. Instead, they stood pat for most of the 2021 NBA offseason, and ended up watching the rest of the league improve […]

The Golden State Warriors have an embarrassment of riches coming into next season. But despite (or perhaps, because of) that, they’re still reportedly doing their due diligence in inquiring about the services of the available Kevin Durant. However, don’t expect the Warriors to come chasing for their former superstar. According to Bleacher Report’s Jake Fischer, […]

Donovan Mitchell trade rumors have been a hot topic in the NBA ever since it was reported the Utah Jazz had a change of heart and decided to entertain trade offers for Mitchell. And the team that has seemingly emerged as the frontrunner, the New York Knicks, are confident that they will be able to […]

The Phoenix Suns had an incredibly impressive regular season last year but disastrous playoff results. Their NBA-best 64-18 record is largely overshadowed by the blowout Game 7 loss at the hands of the Mavericks in the Conference Semifinals. The 123-90 loss seemed cause for major change and left a sour taste going into the offseason. […]

Nick Young isn’t called Swaggy P for nothing. The former NBA shooting guard, who never shied away from taking any shot on the court during his time in the big league, is flashing his brand of confidence ahead of his exhibition boxing fight against rapper Blueface on July 30. If you’re wondering why Nick Young […]

It feels there may not be another player in the NBA whose value is as polarizing as Tyler Herro. Some believe he is a future All-Star, while others seem to think is close to maxing out on his talents. The Miami Heat have been active on the trade market and Herro has been a common […]

The Los Angeles Clippers emerge from the offseason as a clear title contender, but did it come at a hefty price? The Clippers underperformed last season mainly because of injuries to key players. In fact, Kawhi Leonard’s knee injury from the previous playoffs caused him to miss the whole season. Paul George also played only […]

Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving have dominated NBA offseason headlines. People want to know where they will play next year but it remains unclear at the moment. However, an entirely new conspiracy has emerged in reference to Durant’s Brooklyn Nets trade request, per realGM. Dave McMenamin of ESPN shared a wild theory about KD’s real motives […]

The Denver Nuggets main goal for the 2022 NBA offseason is to get healthy. After being without two of their best players in Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. for most of the 2021-22 season, Denver hasn’t been able to realize their potential since their unexpected run to the Western Conference Finals in the 2020 […]

The Los Angeles Lakers had a highly disappointing season and are looking to bounce back. The Lakers have altered their roster to have a younger supporting cast around LeBron James and Anthony Davis. New head coach Darvin Ham will need to make a quick turnaround as they have a limited title window. LeBron can’t play […]

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James returned to the Drew League in style over the weekend, dropping 40 points and grabbing 16 rebounds. It was the first time he played pro-am since 2011 and needless to say, the fans got a show. The player who guarded LeBron in the Drew League, Dion Wright, has spoken […]

Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray had some incendiary comments on social media that sparked pointed responses from a handful of San Antonio Spurs fans. It started with the new Hawks star posting a rather eye-catching message on Twitter about feeling “free” and “wanted” – one that he eventually deleted. “I Feel FREE And I Feel […]

The New York Knicks made a big splash this offseason, but did they also make a big misstep? The Knicks’ biggest move so far has been snagging hotshot guard Jalen Brunson from the Dallas Mavericks. Other than that, this offseason in New York has been relatively “blah.” That’s not necessarily a negative thing. Truthfully, the […]

Multiple reports have recently come out to say that at this point, Kevin Durant has accepted his fate of not being able to force a trade away from the Brooklyn Nets. There just hasn’t been enough traction of late, despite noteworthy efforts from interested teams such as the Miami Heat. At this point, however, renowned […]

Stephen Curry may be the greatest shooter of all time, but on this particular occasion, the Golden State Warriors star may have missed the mark. A photo of Steph with his wife, Ayesha Curry, is currently making its rounds on social media. The reason behind this is Curry’s rather questionable fashion statement. Unsurprisingly, the four-time […]

While the Miami Heat have had a rather dull offseason with very few eye-catching moments, they have remained in the news. Heat president Pat Riley and general manager Andy Elisberg are well underway in their hunt for a superstar-caliber player to pair with incumbent superstar Jimmy Butler. A chance to nab Utah Jazz star Donovan […]

Deandre Ayton’s free agency saga will go down in history as one of the most memorable turn of events in the history of NBA free agency. After all, the Phoenix Suns’ decision to match the $133 max offer sheet the Indiana Pacers had on the table is currently the record-holder for the highest matched salary […]

Washington Nationals star Juan Soto won the Home Run Derby on Monday night. Lucky for him, aside from the trophy, he also got another award for his victory: Bad Bunny’s championship bling! Bad Bunny, who presented the Home Run Derby trophy to Soto as well, added the extra gift to congratulate the youngster. The rapper […]

There was a brief period in time wherein the East emerged as the stronger conference in the NBA. It seems like those days are now gone, and the fact that the Golden State Warriors are the defending champions is a clear testament to this fact. Even Los Angeles Clippers swingman Terance Mann appears to believe […]

In December 2018, Shareef O’Neal, the son of NBA legend Shaq, underwent heart surgery to address a condition that put his basketball career at risk.

Deandre Ayton has officially signed his four-year, $133 million deal with the Phoenix Suns. Now, he’s ready to get back to work and show everyone that the team made the right decision to bring him back. On Twitter, Ayton shared photos of him putting pen to paper on the deal. He also accompanied it with […]

The Chicago Bulls have had an off-season that should excite fans. The front office had one goal; to bring back Zach LaVine. They checked that box when they gave LaVine a fully guaranteed five-year deal worth $215,159,700.  Outside of re-signing LaVine, they haven’t made many other big-time moves. Their lack of financial flexibility played a […]

Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry has a warning for everyone attending the ESPYs: be ready for some trash-talking. While Curry doesn’t plan to go full Draymond Green and speak his thoughts without filter, the veteran sharpshooter emphasized that the audience should still be nervous. In a rather ominous message, Curry did remind everyone that […]

Despite the fact that the Miami Heat have been doing what they can to try and pry Kevin Durant from the Brooklyn Nets, the reality is that they appear to be at a bit of an impasse right now. The deal isn’t exactly dead, but it seems that Pat Riley and his front office must […]

The Toronto Raptors have emerged as one of a handful of teams that appear to be in serious contention for Brooklyn Nets want-away superstar Kevin Durant.
