Trade

More and more keeps trickling out about the most controversial off-season in quite some time in which a team that was coming off an NBA Finals appearance and a year removed from an NBA title, traded their 25-year-old star point guard and dealt with rumors all summer that the best player in the league would [...]

Nikola Mirotic is ruining the Chicago Bulls’ tank job, and they appear to know it. Since making his debut after suffering facial fractures and a concussion during a dustup with teammate Bobby Portis, the 26-year-old forward is averaging 17.2 points and 7.6 rebounds on 50.4 percent shooting, including a 47.5 percent clip from downtown. The [...]

Could the highly entertaining and somewhat successful (surprisingly) experiment between JaVale McGee and the Golden State Warriors be nearing an end?

Phil Jackson was not alone in his offseason desire to explore trading Kristaps Porzingis. Others around the organization weren’t thrilled that the young star took it upon himself to call out the New York Knicks’ dysfunction by skipping his exit meeting.

DeAndre Jordan trade rumors aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. Such is the nature of his situation. The Los Angeles Clippers are fading fast amid injuries, and he has a player option worth $24.1 million for next season that he’s expected to decline. Can the Clippers really risk losing him for nothing on the open market? [...]

Anthony Davis has not requested a trade, and the New Orleans Pelicans aren’t trying to trade him. But, woo boy, if he ever hits the chopping block, there will be plenty of teams waiting for him. Plenty of teams, in fact, are already waiting for him, according to ESPN.com’s Adrian Wojnarowski: Davis remains an obsession [...]

Things have gone downhill in a hurry for the Memphis Grizzlies. They have lost 16 of their last 17 games and have gone from 7-4 to last place in the western conference at 8-20. One of their stars is out recovering from Achilles and heel soreness, but the other has been slogging away with the [...]

Courtney Lee is a wanted man. The New York Knicks, of course, knew this before the season started. At 32, with a nice three-point stroke, some defensive chops and a reasonable three years (including this one) and $36.8 million left on his deal, he fits the bill for playoff hopefuls and contenders. Not surprisingly, then, [...]
