As the New York Knicks inevitably struggle to meet the unreasonably high expectations that have been set before them, both internally and externally, remember this: They still have Kristaps Porzingis. Even if he suffers a sophomore slump or sees his role in the offense marginalized by the ball-dominant Derrick Rose, Porzingis, still just 21, is [...]

The Bucks went a long way toward securing a vital member of their burgeoning core Monday morning as they agreed to a four-year, $100 million extension with budding superstar jack of all trades Giannis Antetokounmpo. [tweet https://twitter.com/basketballtalk/status/777950669504258048] This deal is genius and a massive, repeat massive, coo for the Milwaukee Bucks organization as they not [...]

If there were a an “All-Whatever-Happened-To…?” squad, Darius Miles would probably be a first-teamer. His exit from the NBA was a swift and quiet as his actual playing career.
