Nearly a month ago, there were rumblings that former 2014 NBA Lottery pick Joel Embiid may have had a setback in his season long recovery from foot surgery, with more news to come. Over the weekend the hammer dropped on the 76ers organization as GM Sam Hinkie revealed what we all hoped wasn’t true, that [...]

Undoubtedly one of the biggest off-season free agency pick-ups was 4 Time NBA All Star LaMarcus Aldridge switching teams from Portland to San Antonio, a move which could potentially keep the 5 Time NBA champion Spurs relevant and in the title hunt even after Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili retire. The acquisition of Aldridge gives [...]

Now that the initial free-agency hype has subsided, the Washington Wizards can focus on making Bradley Beal a very, very (very) rich 20-something shooting guard. Set to enter his fourth NBA season, Beal is among the league’s most prominent extension candidates. His case isn’t as cut and dry as those of Anthony Davis and Damian [...]

After spurning the Dallas Mavericks by having a change of heart to eventually re-sign with the Los Angeles Clippers, it’s safe to say that DeAndre Jordan is the most hated man right now in Texas. Also, it’ll certainly be awhile before anyone can move on from this especially Mavs’ owner Mark Cuban, who went on [...]

The Oklahoma City Thunder won’t be having problems filling in their center position. Having been initially offered a $70 million offer sheet from the Portland Trailblazers last Thursday, Kanter immediately signed it which forced the Thunder into a serious predicament. Without a doubt, the amount of money offered is not justifiable to this point for [...]

Whiffing on DeAndre Jordan in free agency has left the Mavs to shift their course and try putting together a competitive unit on the fly. They traded for Zaza Pachulia from the Milwaukee Bucks, and they essentially lucked into Deron Williams. Charlie [...]

Apparently the Portland Trail Blazers, much like the Philadelphia 76ers, want all the big men. With LaMarcus Aldridge and Wesley Matthews officially headed elsewhere, the Blazers have a boat load of cap space and no star to spend it on. So, naturally, they did the only thing left to do: offer restricted free agent Enes [...]

In case you were wondering, no, Chandler Parsons and DeAndre Jordan are not okay after the latter spurned the Dallas Mavericks for the Los Angeles Clippers. Jordan agreed to join the Mavs, then flip-flopped, leaving Mark Cuban’s team in shambles. They have cap space but no one to spend it on. Roy Hibbert has already [...]

To say Gerald Green was a late-bloomer would be an understatement. For someone to be as freakishly athletic as he is, it’s tough to fathom that he’s had a tough time latching on in the league. But after a solid 2-years in Phoenix, he’s a certified commodity. He’s also a member of the Miami Heat. [...]
