Even preseason games can be exciting. Last night the Clippers faced the trail Blazers for the first time since their postseason matchup.

Well you know the regular season is finally around the corner when you start to hear the free agency chatter for the upcoming off-season. We haven’t even gotten to game 1 of the 2016-17 season and the rumor mill is churning around one of the better young wing players (in a league devoid of them) [...]

Paul Millsap’s expected foray into free agency next summer may not actually take place. Though, to be sure, it probably will.

Pelicans superstar power forward Anthony Davis has had a rough past year on the injury front and continues to prove to be an injury prone player in general, missing a number of games in every season since entering the NBA.

The Sacramento Kings do not seem like they’ll be moving perennial trade candidates Rudy Gay and Ben McLemore anytime soon. You can even bet on it with the betting odds at SportsBettingExperts.com. The good news is you can still reach general manager Vlade Divac on the phone. He’s continuing to take calls. As he said [...]

Kevin Durant’s addition in Golden State means we’ll see less individual greatness from Steph Curry and Klay Thompson. In Klay’s case, you could make the strong argument that he didn’t get the ball enough a season ago. He was very consistent for them down the stretch in the playoffs, and dug them out of some [...]
