The Chicago Bulls are looking like a team to watch at the 2024 NBA trade deadline. They are mired in mediocrity at 23-27 at the moment and are looking at the play-in tournament square in the face. But with little hope of even advancing into the playoffs, let alone winning a playoff series or two, […]

The New York Knicks, ever since they acquired OG Anunoby, have gone on a roll, even though they recently lost Julius Randle to a two-to-three-week long injury. Jalen Brunson and Donte DiVincenzo have taken their game up a notch, and Josh Hart remains a reliable hand, as always. But with the departure of Immanuel Quickley, […]

The New York Knicks are 32-18, and currently in fourth place in the Eastern Conference. The Knicks have a legitimate chance to make it to the NBA Finals and they should be going all-in this season. They already made one major move in trading for OG Anunoby, and another deal could put New York in […]

The 1.0 version of the 2023-24 Los Angeles Lakers completed its 52-game beta test on Monday with a 124-118 win over a shorthanded Charlotte Hornets group (things got too close for comfort late, but Los Angeles overall rolled). The next time the Lakers lace it up, on Thursday night against the Denver Nuggets, the 2024 […]

Although the Cleveland Cavaliers are the hottest team in basketball, they aren’t flawless. They could always use another bigger wing that can rebound and hit from three-point range, but so could every team in the NBA. Players in that vein are a premium commodity, and for a team that’s asset-starved like the Cavs, it is […]

The Chicago Bulls are stuck. They are 23-27 on the season and currently in ninth place in the Eastern Conference. They are without the ceiling of a legitimate playoff team nor the floor of bottom dweller who at least can pitch their hopes and dreams to a looming top five draft pick. Basically, the Bulls […]

The Golden State Warriors find themselves in a tough position at the midpoint of the 2023-24 NBA season.

The Minnesota Timberwolves are off to one of the best starts in franchise history. With a 35-15 record, Minnesota is 20 games above .500 for the first time in a long.

The Chicago Bulls are looking like a team to watch at the 2024 NBA trade deadline. They are stuck in the middle at 23-27 and ninth in the Eastern Conference. The Bulls have become the poster boys for the play-in tournament, which is not what any team wants to be. But they have a couple […]

The Los Angeles Lakers have plenty of room for improvement before the 2024 NBA Trade Deadline passes on Thursday at noon PT. They remain hopeful contenders by dint of having LeBron James and Anthony Davis. However, they’re keenly aware of their mediocrity. The Lakers are 26-25, ninth in the Western Conference, with a -57 point […]

The Atlanta Hawks are searching for answers as the 2024 NBA trade deadline approaches. Atlanta has been heavily mentioned as a seller of star guard Dejounte Murray.

The Chicago Bulls’ plans at the trade deadline took a turn over the weekend. Zach LaVine, their All-Star guard who has battled injuries all season long and been the subject of many trade rumors, opted to undergo surgery on his injured foot that will hold him out for the entire season. It seemed like the […]

Although it seems that the Nets are unwilling to move Bridges, and want to build around him instead, Zach Lowe speculated that Brooklyn could get all of its picks back from the initial James Harden trade if they do […]

The Charlotte Hornets are emerged in a lot of different trade scenarios ahead of the deadline. The biggest name from the Hornets is Miles Bridges, who has been heavily linked to the Phoenix Suns. Still, the Hornets appear to have a first-round price point in order to let go of Bridges, per Jake Fischer of […]

The New York Knicks are reportedly interested in making another acquisition or two ahead of the NBA trade deadline after acquiring OG Anunoby from the Toronto Raptors. Stephen A.

After undergoing further testing, the Los Angeles Lakers announced that Jarred Vanderbilt was diagnosed with a sprain in the middle of his right foot and will be re-evaluated by doctors in three to four weeks. Vanderbilt exited the Lakers’ win over the Boston Celtics on Thursday at TD Garden shortly before halftime. While pushing the […]

The Orlando Magic are one interesting team to watch leading up to Thursday’s NBA Trade Deadline. The young Magic team sits at 27-23 and is on top of the Southeast Division and could look to add some pieces. A few names that have been mentioned are Golden State Warriors point guard Chris Paul and Charlotte […]

Just days away from the NBA trade deadline, there is no telling how the balance of power will shift across the league. Compared to last year, when Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving were on the move, there is truly no groundbreaking trade to be made. With this said, there are still plenty of talented players […]

The Denver Nuggets are still the reigning and defending NBA Champions heading into the 2024 NBA Trade Deadline, and they seem to be confident they can repeat. The Nuggets did lose two critical pieces in Bruce Brown and Jeff Green, but the franchise can still decide to pursue a couple of pieces who can play […]

The odds of LeBron James actually getting traded prior to the 2024 trade deadline appear to be slim. After all, James’ agent Rich Paul said LeBron is not looking to be traded at the moment. Trade rumors are still swirling, though. Stephen A. Smith of ESPN thinks that joining the New York Knicks would give […]

The Sacramento Kings have been a steady force in the Western Conference this season. Despite the top four teams elevating themselves as the top-tier squads in the conference, one could argue that the Kings are the best in the second level as they can upset any of the four powerhouses in a seven-game series. Continuity […]

What will the Los Angeles Lakers do ahead of the NBA trade deadline? Should the Golden State Warriors feel a sense of urgency to make a big move? Are there any All-Star-quality players left on the trade market that could influence the playoff picture as it is? These are all very valid questions many around […]

After a rocky start to the Big Three era of Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and Bradley Beal, the Phoenix Suns have since turned their campaign around and now find themselves firmly in the thick of the Western Conference playoff picture. The Suns fell to a 14-15 record after losing to the Dallas Mavericks on December […]

Last season’s NBA trade deadline saw more players moved than ever before. Busy trade deadlines have become a regularity in the NBA, and each year, more and more moves seem to occur. With the 2024 NBA trade deadline coming up on Feb. 8, we decided to see which teams make the most moves. Different organizations […]

The 2023-24 season has not been kind to the Washington Wizards, as their 9-40 record is the second worst in the entire league with the trade deadline approaching. While the Wizards weren’t expected to be good, they weren’t necessarily expected to be this bad, and it’s clear that the organization’s rebuilding efforts are going to […]

It feels as though Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray and the Los Angeles Lakers have been linked to each other forever, especially with the trade deadline coming right up on Thursday. For some, it is just a matter of time before a deal sending the two-way weapon to Tinseltown would get done. And if that’s […]

The Chicago Bulls continue to be a team of interest with days to go before the trade deadline, with Andre Drummond standing out as one of the most attractive assets the team has. Drummond, thanks to his elite ability to rebound the basketball, is garnering interest from contending teams in need of more size on […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic is an intriguing name to watch ahead of the trade deadline. The Atlanta Hawks are 20-27 and could be sellers at the deadline. Atlanta has named Trae Young and Jalen Johnson as the only untouchables on the roster. Bogdanovic is a good scorer who teams could be interested in. The 31-year-old guard is […]

The crowd went mild when news broke of fourth-year Detroit Pistons guard Killian Hayes’ trade request. After all, Hayes hasn’t exactly set the NBA world on fire in his first three-and-a half seasons as a professional, disappointing considerably after being selected seventh overall in the 2020 NBA Draft. Nonetheless, Hayes is only 22 years old, […]

The Boston Celtics are already among the elite of the elites of the NBA so far in the 2023-24 NBA season, but they know they can’t just sit on their laurels. They are said to be eyeing to shore up their roster ahead of Thursday’s NBA trade deadline, according to HoopsHype. “The Celtics are looking […]

The Chicago Bulls will, yet again, be one of the teams to watch with only a few days to go before the trade deadline passes. After all, despite Zach LaVine’s season-ending injury that should keep him on the team at least until the end of the season, the Bulls have a plethora of trade assets […]

The NBA Trade Deadline is a few days away and rumors are starting to circulate more than before. The Detroit Pistons, who had a record losing streak earlier in the season, are viewed as a team willing to sell multiple pieces. One player whose name has come up is Monte Morris, and he is reportedly […]

The Detroit Pistons, despite being a markedly improved team over the past few weeks (as evidenced by their huge win over the Oklahoma City Thunder back on January 28), remain a bad team. They are assembling a nice young core with Cade Cunningham, Jaden Ivey, and Jalen Duren, but putting the right pieces around those […]

The Chicago Bulls continue to be one of the most interesting teams to watch heading into the trade deadline even though they recently lost Zach LaVine after he opted to undergo surgery on his injured foot.

The New Orleans Pelicans are in an interesting position in the Western Conference with the NBA Trade Deadline approaching.
