Enes Kanter sure seems like he’s prepping for free agency. The soon-to-be 26-year-old big man said at the end of the regular season he was leaning toward declining his player option next year and exploring the open market. If you’re an NBA betting man you’d likely not think it possible. The notion seemed almost blasphemous. [...]

The Golden State Warriors were able to make easy work of a Kawhi Leonard-less San Antonio Spurs team in the 1st round of the 2018 NBA Playoffs without their two-time MVP award winning point guard Steph Curry, but a 2nd round tilt with the scorching-hot New Orleans Pelicans may not be so easy.

Donovan Mitchell is so confident the Utah Jazz will win Game 6 of their first-round series with the Thunder that he’s already bidding farewell to Oklahoma City’s fans.

Chris Paul continues to have it out with his former Los Angeles Clippers teammates. According to ESPN’s Stefano Fusaro, CP3 had a heated exchange with Jamal Crawford after the Houston Rockets’ eliminated the Minnesota Timberwolves from the playoffs on Wednesday night: Former Clippers teammates Jamal Crawford and Chris Paul exchanged heated words during the second [...]
