Apparently the Pacers were a little more active in trade discussions centering around Paul George than they said they were as ESPN Reporter wrote in his column Tuesday morning that the Pacers were [...]

The Orlando Magic are currently sitting in 14th place in the eastern conference at 25-45 and will miss the postseason for the fifth straight season. Not exactly what the organization or fan base was hoping for when you consider the fact that the Magic went all in to make the postseason this year, by trading [...]

Dwight Howard may be a shell of his former self, but he’s still very effective. He’ll still alter shot and clog up the lane. This season, he’s averaging 13 points and 13 rebounds for the playoff-bound Hawks. Believe it or not, this is Dwight’s 13th NBA season. And one thing that never goes, is that [...]

Acquiring DeMarcus Cousins hasn’t exactly guaranteed the Pelicans a playoff spot in the West. There are still some teams ahead of them for 8th in the West. That’s a lot to ask for with less than a month remaining in the regular season. It makes you wonder whether or not he’ll want to remain in [...]

Within the last few weeks, LaVar has proclaimed that Lonzo is better than 2-time reigning MVP Steph Curry, and that LaVar himself could’ve beat Michael Jordan in [...]

With Kevin Durant going down with a bum knee, the Spurs were no doubt licking their chops, as the #1 seed in the West seemed to be theirs for the taking. But that possibility has taken a hit with this recent news that LaMarcus Aldridge will be out for an indefinite period. The 31-year-old big [...]

It must be a humbling experience to be waived in the middle of an NBA season. No buyout. Just paid to go away. That was the situation with Brandon Jennings last week. Phil Jackson had apparently seen enough, and must’ve figured that Jennings’ $5 million salary doesn’t hurt the bottom line enough to fight over [...]

New location, same DeMarcus Cousins. As you’d expect, he’s still the same fiery competitor in New Orleans playing alongside Anthony Davis as he was as the focal point in Sacramento. Cousins was hit with a $50,000 for verbal altercations with fans earlier in the week. “Inappropriate language” is what the league is calling it. In [...]

Mark Cuban has never been one to bite his tongue, so why should he start now? For a while now, there has been bad blood between he and the Lakers brass. Those ill feelings apparently continue now that Magic Johnson and Rob Pelinka are now the new President of Basketball Operations an General Manger respectively. [...]
