Otto Porter is ready to break out in 2015-16. He was taken 3rd in a disappointing 2013 draft, headlined by the biggest bust in recent history, Anthony Bennett. Coming off a season where he averaged 6 points a game, and 3 boards, a lot of you will be looking at this going “WHAT??” But let’s [...]

Carmelo Anthony is a forgiving man…in a manner of speaking. The New York Knicks’ only superstar apparently wasn’t the biggest fan of Sasha Vujacic back in the day. But now that the two are teammates, he’s all about giving Sasha some love. Per the New York Daily News‘s Frank Isola: Carmelo Anthony has a history [...]

The Boston Celtics are, on paper, one of the NBA’s most intriguing teams heading into 2015-16. This is both a good and bad thing. The Celtics are intriguing because they’re so damn deep, and that’s good. But that leaves head coach Brad Stevens with the task of deciding whom to play, and that’s a steep [...]

As yet another NBA season shapes up, and the fanbases of 30 cities hold their breaths to find out how their teams will fare this year, the predicament of those in sunny Sacramento is an interesting one. The franchise is steeped in mediocrity in terms of performance on the court, and has a history of [...]

LaMarcus Aldridge is set in his ways—which is important, because his ways aren’t yet the San Antonio Spurs’ ways. After nine years with the Portland Trail Blazers, Aldridge decided to journey elsewhere in free agency over the summer. It seemed like a no-brainer decision. The Blazers started stripping down their contention-ready roster and gearing up [...]

Don’t you dare tether DeMarcus Cousins to one position. Clearly, he’s a multipositional bastion, a versatile and venomous NBA superstar that can play any spot he wants to. Allow me to explain. Rather, allow Cousins himself to explain, per the Sacramento Bee‘s Jason Jones (h/t CBS Sports): “I don’t really consider myself a center,” Cousins [...]

The NBA’s preseason has not been kind to the New Orleans Pelicans’ big men. First Alexis Ajinca went down with a right hamstring strain, which, per a team announcement, is expected to sideline him for the next four to six weeks. Now, to make matters worse, starting center/$60 million man Omer Asik is projected to [...]

Markieff Morris is having a weird few months. The Phoenix Suns traded his brother, Marcus Morris, to the Detroit Pistons in what was clearly a salary dump as the team attempted to become part of the LaMarcus Aldridge sweepstakes after signing Tyson Chandler. Marcus has since called the Suns out, leaving no doubt that he [...]

Yeah, so, the Jimmy Butler-Derrick Rose feud that isn’t needs to die. Sure, NBA rumor mills are relentless, and the Chicago Bulls’ dynamic duo, which has yet to spend 1,500 total minutes on the court since Butler entered the league, is not above that ruthlessness. But, like, come on. Enough speculation has been presented and [...]

Kobe Bryant is not universally loved. We’ve known this, of course, for a while. His personality can be tough to like, even difficult to overlook. He’s made a name for himself over the last 20 years as a psychopathic competitor who doesn’t have time to be bothered with normal shit, such as deep-seated relationships with [...]
