All signs point to the Timberwolves having their backs against the wall when it comes to trading Jimmy Butler. Things went south fast and Butler reportedly will not report to camp. The NBA rumor mill has been churning for over a week with possible destinations, but apparently the Wolves either aren’t serious about dealing Butler [...]

Whenever a star like Jimmy Butler is rumored to be on the trade market it creates a debate as to which teams should be in the sweepstakes and what they should be willing to offer. One of the teams that is trying to make the leap in the western conference this season and could use [...]

The NBA continues to be at the forefront of new media options and allowing fans more ways to consume their content. Their newest viewing option for fans is actually pretty genius if you ask me. They will now allow fans to purchase the out of your market viewing of the 4th quarter of any NBA [...]

Kevin Durant is the 2nd best basketball player in the world and it is a relatively close 2nd, I don’t care what anybody says. ESPN’s “NBARank” is ridiculous for ranking him as tied for 4th with Giannis Antekounmpo. With that being said, he has received plenty of acknowledgement for his play in his two seasons [...]

They were able to garner the eastern conference’s No. 1 seed after a 59-win season in 2017-18, [...]

Cavaliers approach to a cold and likely unforgiving post-LeBron world has been much different the second time around. They blew it up (it had really blown up already honestly) the last time around and embraced bottoming out in order to get high draft picks to rebuild. It worked pretty well (even though they had a [...]

Carmelo Anthony? Coming off the bench? Surely not. Except, apparently, maybe. Most expected Anthony would bristle at the idea of joining the Houston Rockets’ second unit after his reaction to doing the same for the Oklahoma City Thunder. At Monday’s media day, though, he sounded half-open to considering the transition, per ESPN.com’s Tim MacMahon: “At [...]

Many around the league, including Lakers executives, are adamant that the Lakers aim is to beat the Warriors this season. While this is obviously true for all of the other 29 NBA teams, LeBron knows his new squad has a long way to go to get to that level. “We’re picking up from scratch. So, [...]
