The Los Angeles Clippers have made multiple high-impact trades throughout the history of the franchise’s 54 seasons in Buffalo, San Diego, and Los Angeles. Whether it’s the Chris Paul trade, the move to get Paul George, or dealing on draft night for Elton Brand, the Clippers have plenty of trades to choose from. For this […]

If there’s anybody that understands the position that Chris Paul may soon face himself in, its former Golden State Warriors point guard and three-time NBA champion Shaun Livingston. The No. 4 pick in the 2004 NBA Draft, Livingston’s promising career was curtailed by a major knee that he suffered in just his third season. With […]

His induction to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame was a family event for Dwyane Wade. After showering his kin with praise during an emotional speech that culminated in a heartwarming, on-stage moment with his once estranged father, the Miami Heat legend made some time for his extended basketball family, too. Future Hall-of-Famers Carmelo […]

Maybe the Golden State Warriors’ just weren’t good enough to repeat as champions last season, but talent definitely wasn’t their biggest problem.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves was taken aback by the Golden State Warriors making a trade for Chris Paul just like the rest of the NBA was.

Fresh off covering the Minnesota Timberwolves, it’s inexplicable to think that there’s another franchise in the NBA that’ll make writing a 10 greatest teams list more difficult to write. But the New Orleans Pelicans franchise is certainly guilty of that, although that may be due to no fault of their own. When the Charlotte Bobcats […]

The Golden State Warriors are coming off of a season in which the franchise’s magic touch seemed diminished after the attack by Draymond Green on current Washington Wizards guard Jordan Poole. Steve Kerr and the Warriors are hoping to put the incident, and the disappointing season, behind them as they embark on a new championship […]

The Golden State Warriors acquisition of Chris Paul raised some eyebrows around the league. Paul, formerly a rival of Golden State, is now set to join a fast-based offense that relies on quick movement and three-point shooting. Paul, meanwhile, is a traditional point guard who excels as the ball-handler in the pick-and-roll. The fit doesn’t […]

As a rookie scout with the Golden State Warriors, Mike Dunleavy Jr.’s affinity for Jordan Poole was instrumental in the team’s decision to select the Michigan guard in the first round of the 2019 NBA Draft. Four years and one major promotion later, Dunleavy found himself in the unenviable position of finding Poole a new […]

Compared to the last few offseasons, the NBA has been pretty quiet this summer.

Not to mention, over a billion dollars was […]

While there are a lot of people questioning the Golden State Warriors’ decision to trade for Chris Paul this offseason, Klay Thompson firmly believes they made the right move.

The Golden State Warriors had nowhere else to turn in the playoffs when their beautiful game of ball and player movement was neutered by Anthony Davis and the Los Angeles Lakers. Being forced to revert to a steady diet of Stephen Curry ball screens is a luxury for the Dubs, obviously, but not a winning […]

It’s safe to say that DeMarcus  Cousins is not a big fan of the Golden State Warriors’ trade for Chris Paul. He doesn’t hate it per se, but he simply doesn’t understand the team’s reasoning behind the move. According to Cousins, he doesn’t see Paul really improving the Warriors. Golden State traded Jordan Poole, Patrick […]

Chris Paul is a superstar. He’s one of the best point guards ever. CP3, who was traded from the Phoenix Suns to the Washington Wizards and later dealt from Washington to the Golden State Warriors this offseason, recently revealed his secret to success while speaking to young players at his CP3 Elite guards camp, video […]

Steve Kerr knows pretty much exactly what he expects Chris Paul to bring to the Golden State Warriors.

It currently may be dark days for the Houston Rockets, as they have won a total of 59 games over the past three seasons. Thus, it may be a useful exercise for Rockets fans to take a trip back memory lane and remind themselves of the franchise’s former glory — a goal upon which to […]

Identifying the 10 greatest teams in franchise history isn’t an easy task with the Los Angeles Clippers, despite years of success with Chris Paul and Blake Griffin.

DeMarcus Cousins is not impressed with the Golden State Warriors’ Chris Paul trade.

[…]

The Golden State Warriors’ title defense last season was basically doomed before it tipped off. Draymond Green’s punch to Jordan Poole was just the most combustible among a host of looming internal issues, all at least somewhat related to the “disease of more” so many teams face after raising the Larry O’Brien Trophy. Poole is […]

The Golden State Warriors are entering the 2023-24 season with a new lease on life.

Recently, Warriors head […]

In an attempt to keep their championship window open, the Golden State Warriors made a shocking move this offseason acquiring future Hall of Fame point guard Chris Paul in a trade with the Washington Wizards.

No one will ever mistake Brandin Podziemski for lacking confidence. Mere moments after he was selected with the No. 19 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, the Golden State Warriors rookie boasted about his potential to be a “triple-double guy” in the NBA—despite having not accomplished that gaudy statistical feat in either of his […]

Moving on from Jordan Poole should’ve been a tough pill to swallow for the Golden State Warriors. Not only were the Dubs trading a 23-year-old who helped them win a title as negative value, but Poole’s departure marked the unofficial end of Golden State’s second timeline behind its dynastic core of Stephen Curry, Draymond Green […]

The Golden State Warriors won’t enter 2023-24 as championship favorites. If the stunning offseason acquisition of Chris Paul goes even half as well as the Boston Celtics’ league-shaking trade for Kevin Garnett leading up to 2007-08, though, the Warriors will no doubt have a real chance to win a remarkable fifth title in nine years. […]

After winning their fourth title since 2015, the Golden State Warriors came up short of the NBA Finals this past season, losing to the Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference semifinals.

The Golden State Warriors shocked the NBA world by acquiring Chris Paul in an offseason trade. CP3 is an incredible point guard, but his fit is unclear with the Warriors since they have a player by the name of Stephen Curry running the position. That said, Curry could end up playing the two-guard given his […]

Anyone who closely followed the Golden State Warriors last season should be confident knowing how Steve Kerr will answer questions about his team’s starting lineup across the 82-game grind.

Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green continues to make headlines with his words throughout the NBA offseason.

Be that as it may, […]
