To be clear, I don’t think that Karl-Anthony Towns is currently being shopped and it should be no surprise to anyone that he is being reported as “unhappy” with the Minnesota Timberwolves after recently losing 11 straight games and likely playoff hopes along with it.

Walker has acted as the antithesis of Kyrie Irving […]

With the 2010’s set to end in just a few days, we enter a new decade of basketball. Players like LeBron James, Steph Curry, Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook dominated the 2010’s, but who will lead the next generation?
