The Toronto Raptors are basically saying that they’re not open to trading Pascal Siakam unless someone blows them away. Translation: if some team gives them exactly what they’re looking for, Siakam could be on the move. While he and the Raptors are coming off a tumultuous season, Siakam is a highly impactful and compelling player. […]

The New Orleans Pelicans seem to have one goal in mind over the course of the next couple of years and it’s quite simple: keep Zion Williamson happy. This offseason the Pelicans let Lonzo Ball slip to the Chicago Bulls without even a whisper of New Orleans trying to bring him back. They have a […]

A […]

The Toronto Raptors are rumored to be shopping All-Star forward Pascal Siakam as it looks to transition into a youth movement. While Siakam is still a young 27-years old, he is arguably Toronto’s top asset that could net them with the most value in a trade. Teams looking to shake things up will definitely welcome […]

Ben Simmons could have already played his last game in a Philadelphia 76ers uniform.

Sacramento Kings guard De’Aaron Fox is not letting the latest accusations against him and his family go unnoticed.

The said tweet didn’t sit well with some […]

Davion Mitchell has been selected by the Sacramento Kings with the No. 9 pick in the 2021 NBA Draft. Mitchell was a highly touted prospect in this draft due to his elite shooting ability. He is the perfect NBA guard as he is a two-way player that can fit into any system. Last season, Mitchell […]

Only a few weeks ago The NBA Lottery took place, finalizing the 2021 NBA Draft order. In turn, in this post, we’ll be doing a 2021 NBA Mock Draft: A Final Mock Edition. The Detroit Pistons won the first overall pick for the upcoming draft, which is huge for a franchise that has bought into […]

The Los Angeles Lakers really want to make roster upgrades after losing in the first round of the playoffs this year. With LeBron James getting up there in age and Anthony Davis’ health often a question mark, having more reinforcements would be helpful. The Lakers have been linked to seemingly every big name out there, […]

With the 2021 NBA Draft, player-option deadlines, and free agency fast approaching, the Los Angeles Lakers are aggressively pursuing trades with, well, whoever will pick up the phone.

The Sacramento Kings are rumored as a Ben Simmons suitor as the Philadelphia 76ers open up trade conversations involving the young All-Star.

The first three years in the NBA for Marvin Bagley III have not gone according to plan.

The Sacramento Kings and their disgruntled young star in Marvin Bagley are in a bit of a pickle. The second overall pick from the 2018 NBA Draft has had a rough young career so far and his team’s success (or lack thereof) isn’t quite helping. Add the fact that other big names from his draft […]

The Brooklyn Nets built a super team with a Big 3, but they failed to make anything of it this year, losing to the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 7 in the second round of the 2021 NBA playoffs. Injuries were the real enemy of the Nets, as their big three played a limited amount of […]
