If your favorite NBA team is going to strip the Denver Nuggets of one of their best trade assets, it’s going to cost them. The Nuggets kinda, sorta took a step toward blowing their roster up when they traded Timofey Mozgov to the Cleveland Cavaliers for two first-round picks. But with guys like Wilson Chandler [...]

On Tuesday night, Spurs head coach—Greg Popovich—added another accolade in his much decorated coaching career with the Spurs 95-93 road victory over the Indiana Pacers that officially handed him his 1000th victory as a coach.

With Clippers power forward Blake Griffin unable to participate in this years All-Star Game due to an injury—NBA Commissioner Adam Silver immediately took action by announcing Griffin’s replacement, and without any surprise—it will be Blazer’s point guard Damian Lillard. Lillard has undoubtedly been having a fantastic season and the Blazers wouldn’t be one of the [...]
Signing Ed Davis made sense for the Lakers last summer. Re-signing him this summer may not. The Lakers pulled off a small-scale free-agency coup last July when they signed Davis for under $1 million with a player option for 2015-16 worth just a little more. The 13th overall pick from the 2010 draft has never [...]

Andrew Wiggins is going to be a superstar. No, he’s probably not the second coming of LeBron James, as he was made out to be just before playing his college ball at Kansas. Then again, that same notion seems a lot less ridiculous now than it did leading into the NBA draft. Or just a [...]

Get your daily dose of weird, here. The Chicago Bulls’ 2014-15 season hasn’t gone as planned. They’re hovering around the top 10 in both offensive and defensive efficiency, per NBA.com, but the latter standing isn’t what it used to be. Not by a long shot. The Bulls ranked second last year and employ a slew [...]

Carmelo Anthony is just saying what we’re all thinking. Most know that as bad as the New York Knicks are, they won’t be rebuilding through conventional methods. Sure, they’ll welcome in Jahlil Okafor with open arms should they land the No. 1 overall pick. But this team is not about to wait around and let [...]

Here we go again. !#$%^&*&^%$#@! Not two weeks ago, we talked about the Denver Nuggets being interested in Brook Lopez. It was weird on the Nuggets’ part. Yours truly was incensed to an extent, wondering what the hell Denver was doing. Without context, it made little sense for the Nets, too. Who would the Nuggets [...]

It has been a rough go of things early for former NBA Lottery pick CJ McCollum of the Portland Trailblazers, suffering through injuries and a lack of playing time, but things couldn’t be better for his older brother Errick, who just set the CBA individual scoring mark, tallying an amazing 82 points in a game [...]
