Did you try going to bed at a reasonable hour on Thursday night? Well, shame on you. Because the NBA got weird. A ton of things happened—two trades and one Isaiah Thomas signing, to be exact. One of those deals included Jeremy Lin being shipped from the Brooklyn Nets to the Atlanta Hawks. The news was, [...]

Let me preface this by saying that Carmelo Anthony is likely a future hall of famer and is one of the best offensive players in the NBA over the past 15 years. With that being said, he has been declining for a few years now and would be an absolutely terrible fit for the Houston [...]
