Another year, another trade for the LA Clippers following a game-winner. This time, LA has traded within their own conference.

[…]

The Nets have hit a six-game skid and just yesterday we were wondering if they’d dare to consider trading James Harden at this deadline. The most logical landing spot would be the Philadelphia 76ers, as Sixers president Daryl Morey seems to only have eyes for Harden. What he is offering is perhaps a blockbuster package […]

The New York Knicks are struggling immensely and with the February 10th Trade Deadline quickly approaching, there are definitely rumors they could be making some changes. Whether that happens or not remains to be seen, but Julius Randle’s name has come up as a possible player on the roster who may be moved. Randle, who […]

While latest rumors indicate that the Brooklyn Nets are open to trading James Harden for Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons, it doesn’t mean they are desperate in doing it before the trade deadline. Sure, the Nets have reportedly increased their efforts and could be leaning towards making a deal amid their recent slump, but Shams […]

The Portland Trail Blazers tipped off trade season in stunning fashion on Friday, moving Norman Powell and Robert Covington to the LA Clippers in exchange for Eric Bledsoe, Keon Johnson, Justise Winslow and a future second-round pick, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. Here’s why interim general manager Joe Cronin and the Blazers’ front office agreed […]

There has been a lot of trade speculation growing between the Brooklyn Nets’ James Harden and Philadelphia 76ers’ Ben Simmons. It’s been wildly reported that the Sixers hope to move Simmons, but Harden being dealt would shake up the Eastern Conference. The Nets have reportedly become increasingly concerned with Harden and his ability to fit […]

So far in the 2021-22 NBA season, the Minnesota Timberwolves have themselves in the postseason picture with a 27-25 record with just 30 games left. The Timberwolves have been lead by All-Star big man Karl-Anthony Towns, veteran D’Angelo Russell, and second-year star guard, Anthony Edwards. The team is still hoping to add a fourth-star player […]

After two years in basketball purgatory, the Golden State Warriors have finally re-established themselves as a legitimate threat to this year’s title.

Bradley Beal’s name has been in the trade rumor mill since the start of the 2021-22 season, and talks about him getting moved away from the Washington Wizards heat up once again with the NBA trade deadline fast approaching. However, according to NBA insider Marc Stein, it’s unlike the Wizards will trade Beal at the […]

It has now been exactly 300 days since we last saw James Wiseman in an NBA game for the Golden State Warriors. The 20-year-old has been struggling in his rehab from a major knee injury (and subsequent surgery) that has prevented him from making his season debut for the Dubs this term. Warriors general manager […]

The Philadelphia 76ers’ saga with Ben Simmons has engulfed the basketball landscape. Ironically enough, Simmons’ lack of interest in playing for the Sixers this year has coincided with James Harden’s frustrations with the Brooklyn Nets. Both of those less-than-ideal situations have made the Nets and Sixers compatible trade partners, though little has occurred on the […]

The Phoenix Suns have the best record in the NBA. They are one of the favorites to win the championship this year. It would mean a lot to lot of people, Chris Paul included. But Paul does not believe it’s needed to validate his career. He joined J.J. Redick on the show “The Old Man […]

This season, Tyrese Maxey has been one of the brightest storylines for the Philadelphia 76ers. The second-year guard was thrust into a full-time starting role and did more than hold his own. Maxey is currently fresh off going toe-to-toe with Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant and coming away victorious. That’s an impressive feat for someone […]

Although the Chicago Bulls have surpassed all their expectations this season, they need an insurance plan for Nikola Vucevic.

San Francisco, CA – One of the biggest attractions during All-Star Weekend is the slam dunk contest. The Golden State Warriors have one player participating in the event and that’s Oakland native Juan Toscano-Anderson. Draymond Green isn’t happy about that. On the Draymond Green Show, the former Defensive Player of the Year winner voiced his […]

SAN FRANCISCO — Since Klay Thompson returned to the Golden State Warriors’ lineup, he has reached milestones left and right. In his first game of the season, he scored his 12,000th point in his career, and he became the second-fastest ever to reach 1,800 3-pointers. The only player to reach that mark faster is Stephen […]

Mitchell, who was recently named an All-Star for the third consecutive year, has […]

These days the Brooklyn Nets are in a bit of a funk. Three games out of first place at 29-22 amid a six-game losing streak, Brooklyn has reached a new low point of the short-lived Big Three era.

DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine have propelled the Chicago Bulls back into the championship conversation.

The Los Angeles Lakers’ season has been challenging to say the least. They are three games under .500 more than halfway through the season. It’s definitely not what the Lakers organization envisioned entering the year. One of the reasons for the lack of success has been health. Both LeBron James and especially Anthony Davis have […]

Things have not been going well with the Utah Jazz in the 2022 portion of this NBA season. They went 4-12 in January and lost veteran forward Joe Ingles to an ACL tear.

The 2022 NBA trade season should be a busy one for the New York Knicks. To say that they have disappointed this season is badly underselling it. They are on their way to missing even the play-in tournament after being the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference last year. Something has to change for them. […]

Stephen A. Smith had a rather spicy Kevin Durant take amid the Brooklyn Nets’ current losing streak. KD made sure to respond.
