Fill in the blank time! Goran Dragic’s future outlook with the Phoenix Suns is [insert one-word description here]. Each of the following words are acceptable: uncertain, bizarre, nonexistent, weird, quirky, punchdrunklove, confusing. There are other passable answers, but we’ll stop there for brevity’s sake. Dragic has long been a rumor-mill staple. He’s slated for free [...]

Oh. Em. Gee. In a totally sensible, and therefore unforeseen, twist of events, the Denver Nuggets may be willing to trade Ty Lawson and Kenneth Faried. This is not to say they are actively shopping them, though. Grantland’s Zach Lowe explains: he more interesting questions surround Ty Lawson and Kenneth Faried. Denver isn’t shopping those [...]

Get your daily dose of weird, here. The Chicago Bulls’ 2014-15 season hasn’t gone as planned. They’re hovering around the top 10 in both offensive and defensive efficiency, per NBA.com, but the latter standing isn’t what it used to be. Not by a long shot.

Here we go again. !#$%^&*&^%$#@! Not two weeks ago, we talked about the Denver Nuggets being interested in Brook Lopez. It was weird on the Nuggets’ part. Yours truly was incensed to an extent, wondering what the hell Denver was doing. Without context, it made little sense for the Nets, too. Who would the Nuggets [...]

Someone needs to explain the Denver Nuggets to me. We’ve already talked about their purported interest in the Brooklyn Nets’ Brook Lopez—an injury-prone big man who may help their offense, but not their defense, and one who is overkill considering JaVale McGee, J.J.
