Derrick Rose’s career has seemingly been in peril for years now after his hall of fame caliber first few seasons as he has dealt with a slew of injuries and a seemingly never-ending series of trips to the physical trainer and injured reserve. Rose still only 29, has missed 12 games already for the Cavaliers [...]

The Chicago Bulls selected University of Oregon standout and elite shot blocker and rebounder for his size, Jordan Bell with the No. 38 pick of the 2017 NBA Draft. I, along with many others, thought it was a genius move for the Bulls as Bell slipped. Then we found out that the pick was really [...]

The Cavaliers took a shot to the gut this off-season when their 25-year-old superstar point guard Kyrie Irving, made known his request to be traded. After losing all leverage when the report became public and scrambling to make a deal happen before training to prevent any disruption to the team harmony entering the 2017-18 season, [...]

While Grizzles Center Marc Gasol has always been the consummate professional, the relationship between him and the organization may be a little rocky at the moment. The Grizzlies lost their 8th straight game on Sunday, at home to the Brooklyn Nets (yikes) and Marc Gasol was benched the entire 4th quarter. Gasol has been struggling [...]

Hall of Famer Hakeem Olajuwon is ready and willing to work with Kristaps Porzingis if the call comes in. He just doesn’t think the New York Knicks’ superstar needs his tutelage. From the New York Post‘s Marc Berman: Hakeem Olajuwon is now a Rockets adviser who has expressed interest in an ownership stake. So the Nigerian [...]

D’Angelo Russell hasn’t played since Nov. 11 while dealing with knee problems that eventually required arthroscopic surgery. And while he is traveling with the Brooklyn Nets on their latest road trip, he doesn’t know when he’ll actually be returning to the rotation. From the New York Post‘s Brian Lewis: D’Angelo Russell doesn’t have any idea when [...]

At 5-15, owners of the NBA’s third-worst record, the Dallas Mavericks could just roll over and steer into the season-long tank. Catching up with the league-low Chicago Bulls for top lottery odds will be a challenge, but a mere game separates the two right now. Play their cards right, and the Mavericks could enter this [...]

One benefit to Kyrie Irving’s departure from the Cleveland Cavaliers: We get to see a more aggressive LeBron James down the stretch. Not that James has been particularly passive late in games through years past. He’s always struck a nice balance. His first inclination is too pass, so he often does, and he’s spent the [...]

John Wall is a member of the top five point guards in the NBA (in my opinion) that gets talked about the least. He is a lightning quick guard with elite athleticism who pushes the paces and does almost everything at a high level at the position, averaging about 20 points, 10 assists and four [...]

Giannis Antetokounmpo has a mean streak…apparently. The Milwaukee Bucks fell to the shorthanded Utah Jazz on Saturday night, 121-108, and their early MVP candidate wasn’t happy. At one point, he took out his frustrations on a little old, unsuspecting chair: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WX_GUhoENmk That’s not all he did, though. He also starting yelling at Bucks assistant coach [...]
