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 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 [...]

The Phoenix Suns and Orlando Magic are both sitting at the bottom of the NBA standings and in search of ways to improve their rosters going forward. They decided to make a deal with one another on Thursday that evokes the classic phrase: “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure”. The Magic agreed to trade [...]

The New York Knicks have been on the search for a better option at point guard all season while rookie Frank Ntilkina develops. Starting Jarrett Jack as your point guard in 2018 is not the situation you want to be in. After striking out on Kemba Walker (or even Isaiah Thomas) the Knicks ended up [...]

The Cleveland Cavaliers spread kerosene, lit a match and blew up about half of their roster yesterday. They essentially gave themselves a mulligan on their entire 2017 off-season in the process. Gone are both players that were acquired in the mega trade of Kyrie Irving to the Celtics. Isaiah Thomas is a Laker (for the [...]

The Hawks are in a full tear down, rebuild and tank mode. This means they have little use for veteran role players such as Marco Belinelli. The 31-year-old sharpshooter has been on the block the last few weeks as the Hawks try to deal him to a contending team in need of some more depth [...]

In a situation that we don’t see occur very often for an indoor sport, the Pacers-Pelicans game in New Orleans was cancelled Wednesday night because of a rain delay of sorts. The Smoothie King Center roof was leaking and arena crew were unable to keep the floor dry for a few hours, which led to [...]
