Kevin Durant doesn’t get an MVP vote. If he did, though, he’d give it to James Harden. As he recently told The Athletic’s Anthony Slater: “It’s his turn,” Kevin Durant told The Athletic recently. “Just give it to him. It’s his time to win it.” This is not the most eloquent way to lay out Harden’s case. [...]

Is Devin Booker turned off enough by the Phoenix Suns’ struggles to avoid signing a max extension with them this summer? Not quite. From AZ Central Sports’ Scott Bordow: Booker said in October that he would be willing to sign the five-year, $156 million contract extension the Suns can offer him this summer. Asked if [...]

As the NBA season enters its final week and a half, the Phoenix Suns currently possess the worst record in the NBA at 19-59 and as such are likely to have the highest odds to land the No. 1 pick of the 2018 NBA Draft. That means they could have an opportunity to potentially draft [...]

There could be a new trend starting with blue-chip recruits coming out of high school: opting to forego college in order to go straight to the G-League. Darius Bazley, the No. 9 recruit in the 2018 class, has decided to decommit from Syracuse and enter the NBA’s G-League, where he is allowed to play directly [...]

When Zach LaVine becomes a restricted free agent, he may have fewer than 25 games under his belt since suffering an ACL tear with the Minnesota Timberwolves last season. Though he has since rejoined the Chicago Bulls rotation, he’s once again sidelined with tendinitis in said knee—a setback that could adversely impact the value of [...]

Frank Ntilikina’s place on the New York Knicks is unclear—both now and over the long haul. Is he a point guard? A shooting guard? Should he be starting? Coming off the bench? Are the Knicks doing him a disservice by at times playing him Trey Burke and Emmanuel Mudiay over him? The answer isn’t a [...]

In his first public comments since being fired by the Milwaukee Bucks earlier this season, Jason Kidd cleared up…very little. Most tend to think he was canned because he lost the locker room, or because he pissed off ownership with a power play similar to what he pulled with the Brooklyn Nets, or because he [...]

Karl Anthony Towns had the best night of his young career on Wednesday night, torching the Atlanta Hawks to the tune of 56 points.
