Charlotte Hornets point guard Terry Rozier is a player “that teams are really going after,” according to NBA insider Marc Stein. “He has a lot of fans around the league.” Rozier is averaging 21.5 points and 5.1 assists per game this season, both career-highs. He’s averaged 19.6 points per game since joining the Hornets in […]

Chicago Bulls’ Alex Caruso is reportedly one of the most difficult guards on the market to trade for as the NBA Trade Deadline approaches.

At one point in December, the Orlando Magic had won eight of nine games. That gave us a glimpse of how good this team could be in the near future. Since then, however, the Magic have gone 6-10 to continue lounging near the cellar of the Eastern Conference. Making the play-in is mathematically within reach, […]

At the moment, the Boston Celtics are still sitting on the best record in the entire league with 35 wins against just 15 losses. Despite their supremacy, however, Celtics president of basketball operations Brad Stevens refuses to rest on his laurels. The 46-year-old remains optimistic that this is going to be Boston’s year, and he’s […]

As the New York Knicks continue to gauge the trade value of forward Cam Reddish, the Milwaukee Bucks have emerged as a suitor for the four-year pro, according to HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto. However, should the Knicks make a deal with the Bucks involving Reddish, there’s an interesting caveat: the Knicks will need Bucks sharpshooter Grayson […]

Kyle Lowry’s performance has taken a bit of a dip this season. As the Miami Heat point star gets older, he has seen his production take a significant downturn. Part of that is him getting less touches and minutes overall, leading to trade speculation around him. When asked about the trade rumors, Lowry reiterated that […]

The Utah Jazz may have reached the end of its previous core last season as Donovan Mitchell, Rudy Gobert, Royce O’Neal, and Bojan Bogdanovic were all shipped out in the offseason. The expectation was for the Jazz to accumulate as many draft picks as they could and rebuild their team through the draft. That formula […]

For the first couple of weeks this season, we wondered if the San Antonio Spurs were even going to tank at all. Remember that they won five of their first seven games. That feels like eons ago, though. Right now, the Spurs carry a 14-35 win-loss record. They are very much in the thick of […]

The 2022-2023 NBA season has been full of surprises as some teams like the Toronto Raptors and Phoenix Suns have been abysmal, while organizations like the Sacramento Kings and Indiana Pacers have exceeded expectations and have been intriguing to watch this year.

The Charlotte Hornets were supposed to be better than their current 14-36 win-loss record. Alas, injuries left and right have depleted their capacity to win.

The Oklahoma City Thunder are on a bit of a run right now. They have won seven of their last 10 games and are just half a game out of a spot at the play-in tournament in the Western Conference. They have overachieved quite a bit this season, especially considering the injury to would-be rookie […]

The Houston Rockets can’t do anything at the NBA trade deadline to get worse, at least from a record perspective. The team is dead last in the NBA right now, with an 11-38 record. But that’s OK. The Rockets are in the midst of a massive rebuild, and getting another top-three pick in the 2023 […]

The 2022-23 NBA season has officially reached its halfway mark, so fans already have a general idea of what their teams are competing for.

Right now, the Portland Trail Blazers are sitting at the 12th spot in the Western Conference with a 23-25 record.

The Atlanta Hawks haven’t had a great start to the 2022-23 season, as they have dealt with some turbulence in their locker room, and are currently sitting in eighth place in the Eastern Conference with a 25-24 record. After pulling off a blockbuster deal for Dejounte Murray over the offseason, this certainly isn’t what many […]

The Detroit Pistons are one of the few teams in the NBA that are already unofficially eliminated from contention for a playoff spot on the 2022-23 season, and it’s been that way for awhile. Their 13-37 record is the worst in the Eastern Conference, and at this point, their season is solely about trying to […]

The Miami Heat didn’t have the start to the season that they were hoping for, but they are finally beginning to turn things around as we enter the second half of the season. With a 27-22 record, the Heat are sitting in sixth place in the Eastern Conference, and they are beginning to creep up […]

The Atlanta Hawks’ desire to trade away John Collins is the league’s worst-kept secret.

The Dallas Mavericks’ acquisition of Christian Wood was starting to really pay off when he finally moved to the starting lineup in mid-December. Wood was on a roll, and he was starting to impact the game defensively in a way that would make head coach Jason Kidd proud. However, Wood unfortunately injured his thumb on […]

It’s not quite clear yet what the Toronto Raptors would decide to do with the NBA trade deadline approaching. But with a 22-27 record, the expectation that the Raptors would sell remains. And if that happens, the Raptors may not have a more attainable and enticing trade asset than 3 and D wing OG Anunoby. […]

The Houston Rockets are the worst team in the entire league. We’ve gone more than halfway through the season, and Houston has won just 11 games. That’s the definition of futility, right? And while they do have some tantalizing young talents, the Rockets certainly have a lot of room for improvement. We don’t expect Houston […]

Alex Caruso began his career as a meme player, someone whose true impact was, way too often, oversold by overzealous Los Angeles Lakers fans. However, Caruso eventually proved that he was truly capable of impacting winning at the highest level. The Lakers needed him during their 2020 NBA championship run. Caruso was then able to […]

Fred VanVleet has found himself heavily involved in trade talks amid the Toronto Raptors’ middling season and his upcoming foray into free agency after he (expectedly) declines his player option for next season. VanVleet then proceeded to fuel more speculation after he parted ways with Par-Lay Sports & Entertainment, his former agency of representation. But […]

At their best, the Indiana Pacers were among the best in the Eastern Conference. Early in January, they had a 23-18 win-loss record. That was ninth best in the league and sixth best in the East. Since then, however, they have gone 1-8, and have sunk to ninth place in the conference. Should they plug […]
