Ever so slightly lost in the wake of Kristaps Porzingis’ ACL injury is the ramifications that extend beyond this season. Yes, most can, and should, be looking at this year alone. The focus is on Porzingis’ surgery—which will take place this week—and how the Knicks develop their youth in his absence. It is also on [...]

At the age of 36 and in his 15th NBA season with a ton of mileage on his body, Dywane Wade’s hall of fame career is starting to wind down. After spending his first 13 seasons in Miami, Wade played for his hometown Bulls after signing with them in free agency in 2016 and spent [...]

Jae Crowder may have thrown some subtle shots at the Cleveland Cavaliers following his debut with the Utah Jazz. Shortly after the Jazz’s Sunday night win over the Portland Trail Blazers, during which Crowder logged 29 minutes and canned three triples, the combo wing had nothing but good things to say about Utah—seemingly at the [...]

If Kobe Bryant was still in the NBA, he would not, it seems, be standing for the National Anthem. That, or he’d be finding some sort of other way to follow Colin Kaepernick’s lead. Speaking with The Undefeated’s Jemele Hill, Bryant said he would have absolutely followed in the footsteps of the former San Francisco [...]

Forbes came out with their annual evaluation of all American professional sports franchises and their evaluation of the NBA franchises gives a glimpse into the current success of the league and how valuable it has gotten over the last five to 10 years. Unsurprisingly, (despite their recent struggles) the New York Knicks and Los Angeles [...]

Derrick Rose feels like he is on his 9th NBA life at this point as chronic injuries, poor and bizarre decision making and a seeming lack of desire for the game at this point in his career have caused him to fall from grace in Chicago, not play up to par in New York (although [...]

The Rockets just got a little deeper on the wing over the weekend, as veteran small forward Joe Johnson agreed to a one-year minimum deal with the team after being bought out by the Kings. Johnson joins Brendan Wright as a buyout addition to an already highly talented Houston Rockets team. Johnson, 36, is clearly [...]

The NBA’s trade deadline came and went on Thursday without the Houston Rockets making a move. It felt weird. Wrong, even. They’re the Rockets. General manager Daryl Morey is the captain of futzing and fiddling. Surely he could have done something, anything, however insignificant. Right? Maybe. With the NBA’s second-best record, though, the Rockets weren’t [...]

The Sacramento Kings were very active in the 2016 NBA Draft. They traded the No. 8 pick to the Phoenix Suns (who selected Marquese Chriss) in exchange for the rights to Bogdan Bogdanovic, the No. 13 pick of the 2016 NBA Draft and No. 26 pick of the draft. Bogdanovic has looked like a really [...]
