Roster

While LeBron’s supporting cast has picked it up a bit in round two, it is no secret that James carried the Cavaliers to a series victory over the Pacers possibly more so than any other player for any other team in NBA history in the 1st round. LeBron averaged 34-9-9 and not one other player [...]

The Blazers haven’t been able to really build on their breakout season in 2015-16 in which they won 45 games and made the second round of the NBA Playoffs. They are currently sitting at 17-16 and 8th in the western conference, apparently not where billionaire owner Paul Allen wants them to be. According to a [...]

The Suns are winners of three of their last four games, despite being without their best player, Devin Booker (seriously, look at their roster, it is not pretty). One of the major reasons for the recent burst of success has been the addition of Isaiah Canaan. Canaan was signed with the hardship exception for the [...]

This feels like a ridiculous, borderline disrespectful, question to ask. The Cleveland Cavaliers are reigning NBA champions. They have a firm hold on the Eastern Conference. Losing to the Golden State Warriors doesn’t change what they’ve done, or diminish their presence on the championship field. Counterpoint: LeBron James. No, this isn’t another “LeBron is the [...]

Remember how so many complained about LeBron James’ open distaste for the Cleveland Cavaliers’ “top-heavy” roster? And how many more assume the team, specifically general manager David Griffin, would be unhappy with his demeanor? About that: The Cavaliers are actually happy LeBron said what he said, even if they weren’t thrilled in the moment, according [...]

The Cleveland Cavaliers have the highest payroll in the NBA at around $127.5 million—roughly $14.2 million past the luxury tax threshold. That’s apparently not enough for LeBron James, according to ESPN.com’s Brian Windhorst (h/t ProBasketballTalk): Tension between LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers‘ leadership is centered on payroll spending, multiple sources told ESPN. James and [...]

The 2016-17 season has gotten off to a nightmarish start for the Washington Wizards. Bradley Beal is having injury issues yet again and has struggled to come anywhere close to the $128 million extension when he is on the court this season, averaging 15-2-2 on 36 percent shooting from the field and 29 percent from [...]

The Clippers had championship aspirations this season, but the injury bug bit them in the worst way this season. And that’s too bad, because this was the best this core had ever looked, and that was even without Blake Griffin for much of the season. There have been talks for a few years that the [...]

At the beginning of the year, it was somewhat of a surprise when Rasheed Wallace was signed by the Knicks. Even though he was only out of the NBA for a year, you got the sense that he’d enjoy his retirement. But his return to the court with the Knicks was short-lived.  He battled injuries [...]

This is typically the time of year when teams are making last minute adjustments to their rosters in order to gear up for the playoffs. Of course, no trades can be made at this time but teams can sign free agents who are without a team. In a somewhat surprising move, the Spurs recently cut [...]
