It has been a rough five months for Michael Kidd-Gilchrist. The former number two pick in the 2012 NBA Draft tore his labrum in the preseason and went from a guy expected to breakout with a larger role to someone who may miss the entire season. He recovered quickly and returned on January 29, averaging [...]

Are the Phoenix Suns content to keep the (presumably still) disgruntled Markieff Morris past the NBA’s Feb. 18 trade deadline? It sure seems that way.

This prospective deal makes sense from a Heat perspective and allows the Rockets to get value for Howard without losing him in free agency in the offseason. Whiteside and his character issues [...]

The Denver Nuggets have a frontcourt logjam and they know it. Rookie Nikola Jokic’s breakout, along with Joffrey Lauvergne’s continued development and Danilo Gallinari’s need to see spot minutes at the 4, has put the team in a bit of a (pleasant) pickle. Throw in Jusuf Nurkic, Kenneth Faried and J.J. Hickson, and it becomes [...]
