The Milwaukee Bucks wasted no time getting busy during 2022 NBA free agency, and they’re not done yet. The Bucks made numerous moves when NBA free agency started last Thursday. Nearly all of them were centered on keeping key role players, which was the major concern during the post-draft depth chart, while also adding swingman […]

The Brooklyn Nets’ offseason so far seems to be focused on finding Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving trades. But, they did manage to make a solid signing on Tuesday to bolster their roster, whether the star duo stays put or not. The Nets have signed guard TJ Warren to a one-year deal, who hasn’t played […]

The New York Knicks’ intentions with Jalen Brunson were clear as soon as the 2021-2022 season came to an end. There were a significant number of reports that the Knicks were gearing up to offer the guard a substantial contract. However, New York is now under fire for reported tampering, per NBC Sports. The Dallas Mavericks […]

The Boston Celtics can still make a big splash in 2022 NBA free agency. Bigger than just Danilo Gallinari at least. Remember that in the city of Boston, the threshold for success is rather high. That is why, following the Celtics’ finest season in more than a decade, the topic of discussion has now shifted […]

The Los Angeles Lakers have reshaped their roster around LeBron James and Anthony Davis for next season, constructing a younger roster in contrast to the one they had in 2021-22. They drafted Max Christie in the second round and signed Scottie Pippen Jr. and Cole Swider to two-way contracts. In free agency, the Lakers have […]

There’s no in-depth explanation necessary to understand why it’s virtually guaranteed that Kevin Durant won’t be returning to the Golden State Warriors. The widespread assumption that he’d grown irreversibly crossways with franchise pillars after bailing on Golden State three years ago was always naive. Indeed, Marcus Thompson II of The Athletic reported on Sunday that […]

The Los Angeles Clippers lost a key piece of their bench last week as big man Isaiah Hartenstein secured a two-year, $16 million deal with the New York Knicks. That ended his short spell in Southern California, featuring in 68 games for the Clips in his lone season with the organization. On Monday, Hartenstein took […]

The Dallas Mavericks had an impressive 2021-22 season. The Mavs created an identity and, led by the strong play of Luka Doncic, made it to the Western Conference Finals. The 23-year-old still is early in his career arc and has cemented himself as the face of the franchise. Even with Doncic in hand, Dallas has […]

The Golden State Warriors are an extremely talented team. The trio of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green has now won four NBA titles in the past eight seasons. But Golden State has already lost a couple of key role players in 2022 NBA free agency. Both Otto Porter Jr and Gary Payton II […]

The Phoenix Suns are coming off a tremendous regular season where they won 64 games. Unfortunately, the playoffs didn’t go to plan, getting knocked out in the second round by the Dallas Mavericks. So far in NBA Free Agency, there hasn’t been a lot of activity for the organization. Bismack Biyombo was re-signed, Javale McGee […]

The Milwaukee Bucks are hoping to make another deep playoff run in 2022-23 and they’re bringing back a veteran big man in order to help them do just that. According to Shams Charania, the Bucks have re-signed Serge Ibaka in free agency, bringing the 32-year-old back to Milwaukee for another season. Free agent center Serge […]

The Miami Heat are coming off an impressive 2021-22 season in which they fell just one win short of making the NBA Finals. The heroic performance of Jimmy Butler increased the faith the franchise can still compete. The focus of the offseason is to retool and attempt to get over the playoff hump that was […]

While they may not be making major headlines, the Philadelphia 76ers have had a solid offseason thus far. Highlighted by the draft-night trade for De’Anthony Melton and the free-agent addition of PJ Tucker, Daryl Morey has done an excellent job improving the Sixers bench unit. The lack of talent in the second unit has been […]

The Minnesota Timberwolves shocked the NBA world by giving up a monster haul to get Rudy Gobert from the Utah Jazz. The blockbuster deal now creates one of the most intriguing frontcourts in the NBA featuring Gobert and Karl-Anthony Towns. The fit will be questioned, but there’s certainly a lot of talent there. Now the […]

The NBA offseason is at a standstill with every team shooting their shot for Kevin Durant. Could the Brooklyn Nets star’s ex – the Golden State Warriors – be in the best position to force a reunion? Reports are swirling that the Warriors both have interest and own one of the best packages in a […]

NBA free agency hasn’t been very kind to the Dallas Mavericks of late. One of the biggest deals in the market involved Jalen Brunson, who decided to turn his back on the Mavs to sign with the New York Knicks on a massive new deal. This, along with a few other developments that have not […]

The Dallas Mavericks lost an integral part of their roster when Jalen Brunson decided to sign with the New York Knicks via free agency. The Mavs lost a major piece in their Luka Doncic-led backcourt, and they will need to somehow replace Brunson’s production for the upcoming season. In this respect, the Mavs have reportedly […]

The Oklahoma City Thunder are bringing in four new rookies this season. In order to accommodate the additions of Chet Holmgren, Ousmane Dieng, Jalen Williams and Jaylin Williams, they decided to part ways with Isaiah Roby. According to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype, the Thunder will waive the 24-year-old Roby: Isaiah Roby is expected to be waived […]

After a rather eventful start to NBA free agency on June 30, things have seemingly quieted down with just a few signings and trades here and there. Apparently, Kevin Durant’s trade demand had a role in that. According to NBA insider Keith Smith, some free agents currently available are waiting to see what happens with […]

The Toronto Raptors were not among the more aggressive spenders over the first few days of this year’s NBA free agency period. They did shift much of their attention to keeping a pair of players, including Chris Boucher. ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski noted on Thursday that Boucher agreed to a three-year, $35.25 million deal to stay […]

Kevin Durant is looking to leave the Brooklyn Nets this offseason via trade. The only destination that is not in play, reportedly, is the Golden State Warriors. Durant left Golden State after three years there and seemingly does not have a very good relationship with the key players there, namely Draymond Green. Even years later, […]

The Chicago Bulls have made a key addition to the backcourt, signing veteran point guard Goran Dragic to a one-year deal in 2022 NBA free agency. The deal was first reported by Jordan Schultz, who was informed of the deal by Dragic’s agent Bill Duffy of BDA Sports. Breaking: PG Goran Dragic is signing a […]

Just two seasons removed from being a top-four team in the Eastern Conference, the Indiana Pacers are all but revving up for a total rebuild. Dealing away Domantas Sabonis last season was the first big move. Next came shipping out Malcolm Brogdon to the Boston Celtics, and now, if rumors are to be believed, big […]

The San Antonio Spurs have blown up their roster, but that doesn’t mean they have to be awful this coming season. After the historic deal that sent Dejounte Murray to the Atlanta Hawks, it is crystal clear that the Spurs are committed to a total rebuild of their roster. This was further underscored by the […]

The Brooklyn Nets are in complete chaos in the 2022 offseason. Their two biggest stars in Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving have both requested to be traded away from the team. It’s a mighty fall from grace for a team that was billed as the top dog in the league prior to the start of […]

Stephen Curry is living his best life. While other teams are toiling away wondering about the next big move they need to make to get over the hump, the Golden State Warriors are sitting pretty with an offseason to relish their most recent championship. Curry was the embodiment of being carefree as he took in […]

The Utah Jazz have officially pulled the plug on the Donovan Mitchell-Rudy Gobert partnership after they traded the latter to the Minnesota Timberwolves. In return, the Jazz got a king’s ransom of picks (four first-round picks, a pick swap and recent first-round pick Walker Kessler) and an army of players. In the wake of this […]

The Phoenix Suns seemed to grab pole position in the chase for Kevin Durant. The Brooklyn Nets star listed them as one of his ideal destinations and one that has several assets it could exchange for the former NBA MVP. However, even with pieces such as Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, and a Deandre Ayton sign-and-trade, […]

With Kevin Durant asking out of Brooklyn, there’s no use hiding anything anymore. The Nets are now actively engaging in Kyrie Irving trade talks with the Los Angeles Lakers involving Russell Westbrook. There’s optimism that a deal will be consummated between both sides, but there are still a few kinks to work out in any […]

Hoping to build off of their success this past season and make a deep run in the 2023 NBA Playoffs, the Chicago Bulls will be doing everything in their power to stay on the winning track. After retaining Zach LaVine and signing him to a max deal, the Bulls could aim to make another big […]

The Phoenix Suns continue to make a flurry of moves in free agency, making two key additions on Saturday to get Chris Paul and Devin Booker more help. According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, the Suns are trading for Jock Landale from the Atlanta Hawks to add another big man to their roster. It […]

Kevon Looney is coming back to The Bay, Gary Payton II got his bag elsewhere and Otto Porter is taking his talents north of the border. The Golden State Warriors still have possible extensions with Jordan Poole and Andrew Wiggins to negotiate, but barely 48 hours after the start of free agency, suddenly find their […]

The Charlotte Hornets have had an eventful start to their NBA offseason. First, Charlotte selected center Mark Williams with the 15th pick in the NBA Draft in June. Then, the Hornets were thrown a curveball when forward Miles Bridges, who enjoyed a breakout season ahead of his restricted free agency, was arrested for domestic violence […]

The trajectory of the entire NBA — very much including the Los Angeles Lakers — was profoundly altered the moment Kevin Durant requested a trade from the Brooklyn Nets. Even though a Durant-for-Anthony Davis swap is reportedly not on the table, the superstar’s impending departure instantly placed a Kyrie Irving-for-Russell Westbrook blockbuster very much back […]

James Harden is a team player. The superstar wing declined a $47.4 million player option to become a free agent this offseason. Had Harden signed, he could have negotiated a lucrative extension which would add another $61.7 million to his deal. Instead, Harden is seemingly moving towards a pay cut to benefit the Philadelphia 76ers. […]

The Dallas Mavericks have had a rather eventful offseason so far. Despite losing Jalen Brunson to free agency, the team made massive improvements to their front court position. The additions of Christian Wood and JaVale McGee will hopefully bolster the positions that were a massive liability for Dallas last season. After their major moves, the […]

The Phoenix Suns re-signed big man Bismack Biyombo on Saturday, per Chris Haynes and Yahoo Sports. Biyombo, an 11-year NBA veteran, spent his first season in Phoenix with the Suns last year. He averaged just under 6 points and 5 rebounds per contest in 36 games. He could be in line for a bigger role […]

The Toronto Raptors don’t often make any major splashes in the free agent department. Oftentimes, the team is content with snagging complementary pieces off the market instead of signing any major stars in free agency. That trend continued in the 2022 offseason; however, their new acquisition has a more stacked resume than most of their […]

The New York Knicks got the man they have been salivating over for several months now, as they managed to lure Jalen Brunson away from the Dallas Mavericks to Gotham with a tantalizingly massive contract. But apart from Brunson, the Knicks have also secured another piece that might not be turning a lot of heads […]
