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 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 [...]

The Cleveland Cavaliers spread kerosene, lit a match and blew up about half of their roster yesterday. They essentially gave themselves a mulligan on their entire 2017 off-season in the process. Gone are both players that were acquired in the mega trade of Kyrie Irving to the Celtics. Isaiah Thomas is a Laker (for the [...]

In what has thus far been the only deal in the last 48 hour before the NBA Trade Deadline, the New York Knicks agreed to trade Willy Hernangomez to the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday afternoon. [tweet https://twitter.com/MikeAScotto/status/961277432442605568?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw] Here is Hornets General Manager Rich Cho’s comments on the deal for Hernangomez: [tweet https://twitter.com/hornets/status/961404211547332609?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw] The deal makes [...]

The Wizards have very legitimate chemistry issues. There have been multiple reports that have gone public about ineffective players only meetings (are they ever effective) and players taking veiled or not so subtle shots at other members of the team. Gortat is usually at the center of this as one of the more difficult personalities [...]

The New York Knicks’ future just got a whole lot bleaker. Early in the second quarter of their Tuesday night loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, Kristaps Porzingis completed a dunk over Giannis Antetokounmpo, only to land awkwardly on his fellow unicorn’s foot. He crumpled to the floor and immediately began writhing in pain, all but [...]

Trading Blake Griffin apparently wasn’t a signal from the Los Angeles Clippers that they’re prepping for a full-scale teardown. If it was, they would be nearing deals to send DeAndre Jordan and Lou Williams to other teams in advance of Thursday’s trade deadline. Not only is this not the case, as of now, but the [...]

In what one would assume will be one of the more ho-hum trades of the next few days leading up to the deadline, the Bucks acquired Tyler Zeller from the Nets.

The Indiana Pacers are probably the NBA’s biggest surprise this season as the No. 5 team in the east at the moment with a 30-25 record. While much of the acclaim and rightfully so has been for Victor Oladipo and his breakout season that has led to his first All-Star nomination, one of the key [...]

The Los Angeles Clippers already through the NBA for a loop by unexpectedly trading one marquee power forward, in Blake Griffin. Could the Orlando Magic be readying a similar move? Yes, we’re talking about exactly who you think we’re talking about: Aaron Gordon. The Magic are apparently testing his trade value around the league in [...]
