If Kobe Bryant was still in the NBA, he would not, it seems, be standing for the National Anthem. That, or he’d be finding some sort of other way to follow Colin Kaepernick’s lead. Speaking with The Undefeated’s Jemele Hill, Bryant said he would have absolutely followed in the footsteps of the former San Francisco [...]

More than six months after trading Paul George to the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Indiana Pacers are, relative to expectations, sitting rather pretty. They have a firm hold on an Eastern Conference playoff spot, plenty of salary-cap flexibility and, ostensibly, three legitimate building blocks in All-Star Victor Oladipo, Myles Turner and Domantas Sabonis. It seems [...]

Forbes came out with their annual evaluation of all American professional sports franchises and their evaluation of the NBA franchises gives a glimpse into the current success of the league and how valuable it has gotten over the last five to 10 years. Unsurprisingly, (despite their recent struggles) the New York Knicks and Los Angeles [...]

Derrick Rose feels like he is on his 9th NBA life at this point as chronic injuries, poor and bizarre decision making and a seeming lack of desire for the game at this point in his career have caused him to fall from grace in Chicago, not play up to par in New York (although [...]

The Rockets just got a little deeper on the wing over the weekend, as veteran small forward Joe Johnson agreed to a one-year minimum deal with the team after being bought out by the Kings. [tweet https://twitter.com/BleacherReport/status/962360042212139008?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw] Johnson joins Brendan Wright as a buyout addition to an already highly talented Houston Rockets team.

The NBA’s trade deadline came and went on Thursday without the Houston Rockets making a move. It felt weird. Wrong, even. They’re the Rockets. General manager Daryl Morey is the captain of futzing and fiddling. Surely he could have done something, anything, however insignificant. Right? Maybe. With the NBA’s second-best record, though, the Rockets weren’t [...]

The Sacramento Kings were very active in the 2016 NBA Draft. They traded the No. 8 pick to the Phoenix Suns (who selected Marquese Chriss) in exchange for the rights to Bogdan Bogdanovic, the No. 13 pick of the 2016 NBA Draft and No. 26 pick of the draft. Bogdanovic has looked like a really [...]

The Phoenix Suns and Orlando Magic are both sitting at the bottom of the NBA standings and in search of ways to improve their rosters going forward. They decided to make a deal with one another on Thursday that evokes the classic phrase: “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure”. The Magic agreed to trade [...]

While it took a little while to develop, the last few hours of the NBA trade deadline were eventful to say the least. One major outcome of most of the deals that occurred on Thursday is that the destination of many veterans in trades will lead to a very busy buy out market, possibly the [...]

The New York Knicks have been on the search for a better option at point guard all season while rookie Frank Ntilkina develops. Starting Jarrett Jack as your point guard in 2018 is not the situation you want to be in. After striking out on Kemba Walker (or even Isaiah Thomas) the Knicks ended up [...]
