Every year, we spend a majority of the NBA’s regular season talking about two draft prospects jostling for position as the consensus No. 1 overall pick. And every year, at least one other player seems to creep their way into the discussion. This year is no different. Because Kansas’ Josh Jackson has joined UCLA’s Lonzo [...]

It’s no secret that DeMarcus Cousins appears to be unhappy in Sacramento. He continues to post gaudy numbers and make all-star games, but his team isn’t really showing much improvement. They are a perennial lottery team and last night, the Kings were the owners of the 13th pick. They decided to roll the dice on [...]

The Phoenix Suns seem to have finally gotten the message that having too many combo guards is not a good thing.

From ESPN.com’s Andy Katz: Kentucky coach John Calipari said the Philadelphia 76ers should [...]

Don’t ever say Phil Jackson didn’t try and help the Los Angeles Lakers while he was president of the New York Knicks. Leading up to last year’s NBA draft, the Zen Master apparently cautioned the Lakers, who owned the No. 2 pick, against passing on Kristaps Porzingis, who ended up in New York at No. [...]

For many NBA fans (especially those in Cleveland and Toronto) tonight is exciting because it is Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals, but for those fans whose team didn’t even come close to sniffing the postseason tonight is the most exciting day in months. It’s the day where hope is abound across the 14 [...]
