Ty Lawson is not the player he was before leaving the Denver Nuggets. Far from it. There are nights when you see his quickness and evasiveness in its fullest forms, moments when you hearken back to his days as a fringe All-Star and, despite his diminutive frame, one of the most electric point guards in [...]

Well, this is a new one. Minutes after the New York Knicks tipped off their eventual loss to the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday night, it was announced that Derrick Rose, who was conspicuously absent from the starting five, was no longer with the team for undisclosed reasons. The Vertical’s Adrian Wojnarowski provided some context: [...]

It looks like the Atlanta Hawks won’t be sellers at the trade deadline after all. For now. After trading Kyle Korver to the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Hawks moved Paul Millsap to the chopping block. But, roughly one second later, they took him off, according to The Vertical’s Adrian Wojnarowski: For now, Atlanta Hawks All-Star forward Paul [...]

At 35, Jose Calderon doesn’t factor into the rebuilding Los Angeles Lakers’ plans—immediately or otherwise. And while there have been no reports to date that the team is working on buying out the final year of his contract, FOX Sports’ Chris Broussard implied it’s a possibility, and that Calderon could end up with the reigning-champion [...]

The story of Anthony Bennett’s NBA career has become a very sad tale and appears that it may have had its final moment.

Whether or not someone is “clutch” or has the said “clutch gene” which may or may not actually exist in terms of actual psychology (although Robert Horry and Eli Manning would like to sway you otherwise) has been one of the biggest topics in the NBA, specifically as a star-driven league where one player can [...]

After signing a huge, four-year, $64 million contract to join the Lakers this past off-season, Timofey Mozgov hasn’t hasn’t had the sort of impact he or the Lakers had hoped for the first half of the 2016-17 season. He is averaging 8.2 points and 4.9 rebounds in 21.7 minutes per game and hasn’t earned the [...]

With the Miami Heat miles outside the Eastern Conference playoff picture, you probably think they’ll be sellers at the trade deadline. That feeling also probably intensified once word came that Justise Winslow would miss the rest of the season with a shoulder injury. And your first instinct was to then probably envision Goran Dragic in [...]

A double-digit win over the Brooklyn Nets goes a long way. Apparently. Following the Philadelphia 76ers’ 105-95 victory over the Nets on Sunday, Rookie of the Year favorite Joel Embiid set a lofty goal for his team, per the Associated Press’ Brian Mahoney: Embiid has looked at the standings and seen the 76ers are eight games [...]
