If the injury bugs have their way, we may never know how good this Utah Jazz team can be. Sure, they have the fourth-best record in the Western Conference, but they could be even better. They rank in the top five of the league in value lost to injuries this season, according to NBA Man [...]

Larry Sanders is officially a member of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Though his name was tossed around the rumor mill a few weeks back, the Cavaliers ultimately landed Andrew Bogut, who had been traded from the Dallas Mavericks to the Philadelphia 76ers, then was bought out. But, 58 seconds into tenure with Cleveland, Bogut suffered a season-ending [...]

Chandler Parsons’ first season with the Memphis Grizzlies has been one to forget, and it’s unlikely we’ll remember it any more than we do now. Because he’ll hardly played. The Grizzlies announced on Monday night that Parsons has a partial meniscus tear in his left knee and would be out indefinitely. According to Tim MacMahon [...]

By the end of the 2015-16 regular season, just after Stephen Curry was named the first unanimous MVP in NBA history, it seemed like we had a legitimate, and pertinent, question on our hands: If we were to start an NBA team from scratch, with the sole aim of winning immediately, who would we rather [...]

With Kevin Durant going down with a bum knee, the Spurs were no doubt licking their chops, as the #1 seed in the West seemed to be theirs for the taking.

For the first time since undergoing thumb surgery in December, J.R. Smith practiced with his Cavalier teammates on Wednesday. He was no doubt rusty and will likely take some time to get his wind back. But he seems to have healed far enough ahead of the playoffs in order for him to find his groove. [...]

Mark Cuban has never been one to bite his tongue, so why should he start now? For a while now, there has been bad blood between he and the Lakers brass. Those ill feelings apparently continue now that Magic Johnson and Rob Pelinka are now the new President of Basketball Operations an General Manger respectively. [...]

It’s been one helluva year for Jared Sullinger, and not in a good way. First, while everyone and their second cousin were landing massive deals last summer, Sullinger resorted to signing a one-year pact with the Toronto Raptors, hoping to drive up his value enough to make a splash in 2017 free agency. But then [...]

LeBron’s public plea for a better roster didn’t fall on deaf ears. Management was active and acquired Deron Williams and Andrew Bogut.
