Through all the waves that have reverberated across the NBA over the past few weeks with the NBA Draft and free agency, none was bigger and more shocking than the Oklahoma City Thunder coming out of nowhere to land Paul George in a trade (how can you not be im-Presti with Sam?). George was expected [...]

Don’t worry, Philadelphia 76ers: Markelle Fultz will not be joining Joel Embiid, Nerlens Noel and Ben Simmons as the latest top prospect to miss his entire rookie campaign with an injury. It’s unfortunate we even have to talk about this, but alas, Fultz suffered an ankle injury during summer-league play that warranted x-rays. Embiid was, [...]

Count Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban among those who want the NBA to eliminate the existence of conferences. Though, to be fair, it sounds like he’d settle for his Mavericks moving into the East. As he told ESPN’s broadcast during Dallas’ summer league bout with the Phoenix Suns on Sunday, per ESPN.com’s Tim MacMahon: “We’re [...]

What’s next for the Houston Rockets after trading for Chris Paul and signing James Harden to a four-year, $170 million extension? If they have their way, a Carmelo Anthony trade, according to ESPN.com’s Adrian Wojnarowski and Brian Windhorst: The Rockets have fast-tracked the Harden extension with the arrival of All-Star guard Chris Paul and are turning full [...]

Former Cleveland Cavaliers general manager David Griffin is a smart dude. He knew how to maximize the Cavaliers’ supporting cast with very little flexibility.

The Grit and Grind Era officially came to an unceremonious end in the past few days as the founding father and heart and soul of the best era of Grizzlies basketball, signed a two-year, $24 million contract to become a member of the Sacramento Kings. Randolph spent eight seasons in Memphis, averaging 16.8 points and [...]

Do the Philadelphia 76ers have that much trust in The Process? Joel “The Process” Embiid is officially extension-eligible. It feels weird to write those words. He has only appeared  in 31 games since being drafted. And yet, he just wrapped his third season. He will be a restricted free agent next summer, in a market that [...]

The Clippers dream of being a true title contender ended on May 14, 2015. That is the day of the Clippers shocking and bizarre meltdown against the Houston Rockets in Game 6 of the 2015 western conference semi-finals. The Clippers were one quarter away from their first ever western conference finals and had a 13 [...]

The Boston Celtics needed to shed some salary in order to sign Gordon Hayward to the four-year, $128 million contract that he agreed to Tuesday. The rumor for a while was that the Celtics and Jazz would conduct a sign-and-trade for Hayward and Jae Crowder to give some salary back to the Jazz, but those [...]
