Preseason expectations have often toed the line of nonexistent since Kevin Garnett left. They were rarely equipped to win 25 games, let alone contend for a playoff spot in a loaded Western [...]

Nikola Pekovic still hasn’t signed anything, which is only weird because Brandon Jennings has. Of all the free agents, especially restricted free agents, most wouldn’t have thought Pek would be the last big name to sign. He should have been one of the first. After averaging 16.3 points and 8.8 rebounds last season, a deal [...]

According to Michael Lee of The Washington Post, the Oklahoma City Thunder would have agreed to send their combo guard to the Wizards in exchange for [...]

The National Basketball Association can be a very opportunistic place. Occasionally, things may go your way, or “fall in your lap”, and you must simply seize and capitalize on this.
