Still, the undeniable truth is that the Grizzlies […]

The Denver Nuggets have made plenty of shrewd moves over the past few seasons, highlighting their front offices scouting ability along the way. Their magnum opus was their ability to find a diamond in the rough in two-time MVP Nikola Jokic, the 41st overall pick in the 2014 NBA Draft. However, they also drafted Michael […]

Not too long ago, the Toronto Raptors achieved the unthinkable by defeating the Golden State Warriors in the 2019 NBA Finals. Led by superstar Kawhi Leonard, the Raptors captured their first championship in franchise history and appeared to be a new powerhouse in the Eastern Conference for many years to come. But since that championship, […]

The New Orleans Pelicans are in a tough spot this offseason after missing the playoffs. The Pelicans are led by Zion Williamson, who was injured for the majority of the season.

The Golden State Warriors went from winning the NBA title last season to suffering a second-round loss against the Los Angeles Lakers this year.

The Houston Rockets should have an exciting summer. Armed with the No. 4 pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, the Rockets will choose from an assortment of lottery picks with star potential.

It has not been the easiest 2022-23 season for OG Anunoby and the Toronto Raptors. The Raptors dealt with a slew of problems on the court as they scuffled to a 41-win season. But that has not precluded Anunoby from making massive money moves off the court as he aids in the growth of basketball […]

The Toronto Raptors saw their season end with a crushing home loss to the Chicago Bulls in the NBA Play-In Tournament.

Another question mark is head coach Nick Nurse, who has been a popular name for the Houston Rockets […]

The Detroit Pistons have plenty of kinks to work out of their roster this offseason. Seriously, even though the players fought hard and developed individually along the way, neither their rotation nor their roster as a whole project to be a suitable long-term option. While they have a core — namely Cade Cunningham and Jaden […]

The Toronto Raptors will be playing the role of guest for the second consecutive game against the Charlotte Hornets for what should only be seen as a must-win affair. Boasting a record of 39-39, Nick Nurse and company currently find themselves residing in the ninth seed out in the Eastern Conference standings. With four games […]

There is nothing much to worry about regarding the injury of Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby, who left Sunday’s game against the Charlotte Hornets on the road after rolling his ankle, as reported by Eric Koreen of The Athletic. “O.G. Anunoby is heading to the back after rolling his ankle. He’s been great today. Sucks.” […]

Toronto Raptors wing OG Anunoby has developed into one of the best defensive players in the NBA. He is one of the few players that legitimately can guard every position from point guard to center. Anunoby’s name was being heavily circulated in trade chatter leading up to the deadline with no shortage of teams interested […]

Toronto Raptors wing OG Anunoby was one of the most highly sought players ahead of the NBA trade deadline. But the deadline came and went without Anunoby being moved, despite obvious tension building about his role and numerous suitors, including the New York Knicks. An excellent defensive player with enough scoring chops to be considered at […]

DeMar DeRozan is without a doubt one of the most gifted scorers in the NBA today. However, the Chicago Bulls star isn’t exactly a candidate for the Defensive Player of the Year title. This is exactly what Toronto Raptors small forward OG Anunoby decided to expose on Tuesday night with a massive facial on DeRozan. […]

Toronto Raptors defensive ace OG Anunoby missed the final nine games before the All-Star break due to a wrist injury.

The Toronto Raptors stood pat at the NBA Trade Deadline, much to the confusion of many fans.

The New Orleans Pelicans are falling apart after a strong start to the season, but they had an opportunity to improve themselves at the NBA trade deadline.

Contrary to popular expectations, the Toronto Raptors stood pat at the trade deadline. Names such as OG Anunoby and Fred VanVleet were popular trade candidates all week long, but no deal materialized for either player. That’s not to say that teams tried their best to pry away these players from Toronto, though. Both the Memphis […]

What was supposed to be an eventful NBA trade deadline for the Toronto Raptors was instead eerily quiet for the front office. Much was made about the team potentially selling off key pieces to retool or rebuild for the future. With many intriguing pieces on the roster, surely Masai Ujiri and co. could fetch a […]

The Toronto Raptors were expected to be heavily involved in trades today. Yet, the 3PM deadline came and went, and the only transaction the team made was a deal with the San Antonio Spurs. According to Raptors president Masai Ujiri, “the opportunity was not there” for a blockbuster trade (h/t Sportsnet’s Blake Murphy). They didn’t trade […]

The Golden State Warriors didn’t make the league-altering splash several other Western Conference playoff contenders did at the trade deadline. They instead settled for a move on the margins, bringing back Gary Payton II to round out Steve Kerr’s rotation in a four-team deal that sent James Wiseman to the Detroit Pistons, making a chip […]

For most of the 2022-23 campaign, the Denver Nuggets have, by and large, steamrolled the opposition, thanks in large part to Nikola Jokic’s nightly dominance and Jamal Murray’s gradual return to his pre-injury form. Through 55 games, the Nuggets own the best offense in the NBA and there’s no reason to expect a drop-off given […]

After a very hot start to the 2022-23 campaign, the Memphis Grizzlies have cooled off in recent weeks. The team owns a 2-8 record over its last ten games and is now just two games ahead of the Sacramento Kings for the two-seed in the Western Conference. And so the Grizzlies are reportedly targeting two […]

While pretty much everyone was asleep, the Phoenix Suns made one of the biggest moves in recent trade deadline history. The Suns capitalized on the turmoil surrounding the Brooklyn Nets by making a huge trade for Kevin Durant, and in the process, have immediately turned themselves into one of the most dangerous teams in the […]

The Phoenix Suns looked like a team dead in the water from late December to early January; their offense was sputtering, and their supporting cast was not able to weather the lengthy injury absence of Devin Booker. But the Suns put their foot down on Thursday midnight ET, and pulled off one of the biggest […]

The Phoenix Suns pulled off one of the biggest trades in NBA history when they sent Mikal Bridges, Cameron Johnson, Jae Crowder, four first-round picks, and one pick swap for Kevin Durant, one of the greatest scorers of all time. Simply put, the Western Conference playoff race is heating up. The Suns’ addition of Durant […]

The 2023 NBA Trade Deadline is less than 48 hours away, and with Kyrie Irving now off the trade block, it looks like the next biggest trade candidate could be OG Anunoby of the Toronto Raptors.

The NBA Trade Deadline is quickly approaching and the one team that everyone across the league is keeping an eye on is the Toronto Raptors.

The Portland Trail Blazers are sitting in a… not-so-good place right now in the West. At 25-26 and in 11th place, there’s still a chance for them to leapfrog to a higher seed. As it stands, though, their roster needs quite a bit of work to be competitive. Luckily for Damian Lillard and co, the […]

The Memphis Grizzlies are back to the similar position they were in last season. The Grizzlies are at 32-19 despite the prolonged absence of Jaren Jackson Jr. and Desmond Bane at one point this season. Steven Adams is expected to miss 3-5 weeks, but Brandon Clarke and Xavier Tillman have been stepping up tremendously. Jackson […]

OG Anunoby has found himself as the subject of plenty of trade rumors over the past year or so. And for the Toronto Raptors, the best course of action for them may be to cash in on the 25-year old forward as a trade asset, given that he could net them a considerable return. Moreover, […]

The Indiana Pacers, despite posting a stronger-than-expected 2022-23 campaign, are currently in free-fall. Before Tyrese Haliburton went down with knee and elbow injuries against the New York Knicks on January 11, the Pacers were comfortably in an outright playoff spot with a 23-18 record. They have gone 1-10 since (including the Knicks loss), which goes […]

Toronto Raptors wing OG Anunoby may be the most popular trade target in the league right now.

With that report came the intel that the Memphis Grizzlies […]

OG Anunoby is one of the biggest players who could be on the move ahead of the NBA trade deadline on Feb. 9, and the Memphis Grizzlies and New Orleans Pelicans could be likely destinations despite rumors that the New York Knicks have great interest. Recently, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reported that the Raptors believe […]

Has the Phoenix Suns’ contending window closed for good? Now that is an interesting question that could take us in plenty of interesting directions. Their crushing loss to the Dallas Mavericks in last year’s playoffs, to go along with choking away a 2-0 NBA Finals lead against the Milwaukee Bucks in 2021, appears to be […]

The Memphis Grizzlies are a franchise on the rise, gradually improving year to year since drafting Ja Morant second overall in the 2019 NBA Draft. With the title race as wide open as it has ever been in quite a while, the Grizzlies have all the looks of a championship team. Armed with suffocating perimeter […]

Since the Raptors are no longer in the play-in picture, this season is getting out of control. They could shut it all down and strive for a high lottery pick if they can’t improve matters in the next weeks. There’s a chance they’ll be big sellers or actually be idle at the trade deadline. Recall […]
